Preparation for this Sunday (January 17, 2021)

 

It is popular today to have a "Life Coach." According to the Oxford Dictionary, a life coach is "a person who counsels and encourages clients on matters having to do with careers or personal challenges."

This is a relatively new career, or at least with that name.  The profession is being called that because of our society's attraction to sports and a "coach" is a more acceptable term than "counselor."  It doesn't carry the baggage that the counselor does.

But it is a counselor wrapped in modern terminology.  The purpose is the same...a fellow person who is further along in life's experiences or education that comes alongside of you to help you with decisions involving career, relationships, finances, etc.  This "coach" is to position you with your purpose, setting forth a plan, and providing avenues where you can find resources.

There is nothing wrong with having a "Life Coach." But if you are looking, let me suggest to you "The Ultimate Life Coach."  First of all, Jesus is Life.  That's a good place to begin.  And second, He is the ultimate one to help you determine purpose, develop a plan, and provide resources.  

This Sunday, January 17, 2021, as we gather for worship we will continue to look at the beginning of Abraham's spiritual life and see how God became "The Ultimate Life Coach."  Join us in person at Rainsville First Baptist Church at either 8:45 or 10:15 or online at rfbc.sermon.net or on Facebook Live at Rainsville First.
