Philippians 4:10-13; Exodus 20:17
On many of our minds this morning is the latest of a string of shootings. The latest happening this past Sunday at the nearby West Freeway Church of Christ here in Fort Worth. Our church has taken a number of steps to ensure your safety and will continue to do so. From a volunteer security team to a police officer's presence on Sunday along with a police vehicle parked outside. We cannot live in fear because our God is our refuge and our fortress (Psalm 91).

We live in evil times much like the demon-possessed people of Jesus' day, only now they are armed. So we must think strategically and we must also trust in the Lord, our God.

Will you join me in praying for Mr. Jack Wilson, the man who successfully defended the lives of so many people? Will you join me in praying for the family of the man who sought to kill others as well - I'm sure they are struggling.
I invite you to join me for a seven-week study starting Wednesday where we investigate the royal family of Israel.
This morning, I want to talk about creating margin in our life. Creating margin so that we have room to breathe and grow. Adding margin in our life to truly connect with the people we care about the most. Adding margin in my finances to enjoy what the Lord has given me. Adding margin will allow you to be generous with those in need. Margin in our life to truly worship the Lord. We have no time to ourselves. If stress were measured like rpms of a car's dashboard, then we would be running in the red.
