A Daughter, A Sister, A Helper Scott Pauley

There is a double blessing when your children come to know Christ – they become family twice! A son becomes a brother, and a daughter becomes a sister. Lauren is our middle child and, like all of our children, it has been a blessing to her mother and me to watch her grow in the faith.
After graduating from Crown College, she served on the staff of Camp CoBeAc in Michigan for a couple of years. The Lord allowed her to gain a great deal of experience in the administrative office there and through working with pastors and group leaders. We are grateful for all of those who have poured into her life, helping her to become a woman who could be used of the Lord. Last fall, God allowed her to come back home and join our ETJ team.
Lauren serves in our office and helps with much of the daily work of Enjoying the Journey. She is also assisting Micah and Ana with many of our special projects and events throughout the year. You may see or correspond with her sometime soon, but we are grateful for her work behind the scenes in so many ways. It is a blessing to have her as a daughter, a sister, and a helper in the work God has given us to do.
The New Testament is full of examples of how God used individual women to make a difference in the furtherance of the gospel and the advancement of the church. Jesus had a group of women from the Galilee who “ministered unto him” (Luke 8:1-3). In the roll call of laborers in Romans 16, the Apostle Paul begins by commending Phebe, “a servant of the church” (v. 1). Praise God for godly women, young and older, who have labored, prayed, and invested to see the ministry of Christ move forward. We are blessed to have a number of women like this connected to the work of Enjoying the Journey.
You may connect with Lauren at [email protected]. Pray that the Lord will continue to use and guide her life, and ask the Lord to touch the hearts of many more young ladies to give themselves to serve Christ. It is my prayer that many little girls will come into the family of God and then find their place in helping to make Jesus known around the world.

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
