Welcome Kevin & Jan to Robin's Nest!


Kevin & Jan Rutledge, serve as missionaries with Mission to the World (Presbyterian Church of America) in Frankfurt, Germany and are NC natives. They work with the many refugees currently in Germany, teaching German, English, camps, etc. For more info, check out our Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/focuson.frankfurt.9

"We are so grateful that you are letting us live in your spacious Missionary House, Robin's Nest. Jan had some medical issues that required us to come back and we had to scramble for flights and housing as the Covid-19 virus was hitting Europe hard. This has been a quiet place to regroup. Thank you!" - Kevin & Jan

Please feel free to send Kevin & Jan a card welcoming them to our community.  You can get the address by contacting the church office.  Kevin & Jan plan to be with us until September of this year.  Please pray for them as they navigate health concerns during a time of quarantining.  Sharing your favorite local places with them in a card or Facebook message can help them navigate our community.  The PathFinder's Class is working on gathering a few items the kitchen needs to help cooking be a bit easier.  We hope to refurnish the porch and living room this year as well as replacing the outdoor carpet with linoleum.  Robin's Nest has blessed our church family to connect us with missionaries like the Taylor's in Thailand and the Young's in Kenya.  Welcome Rutledge's who serve in Germany!

Challenges from the Holy Spirit: Luke 8:22-25; Matthew 7:1 2 and Chronicles 7:14

  We are living in some of the most challenging, difficult, frustrating and confusing times.   People’s emotions, relationships, fears, and sense of security are all over the place. During these times I have been asking God two questions: 1.     God, what are You trying to teach me? 2.     How should I respond? My prayer is that when we leave this place, the Holy Spirit will so speak that we will have a greater resolved to live daily with Jesus. Prayer:   Lord, let Your blessings be upon the message today.   Have mercy on the speaker.   He is a sinner in need of Your grace.   Have mercy upon the listeners, we might hear what You might have in store.   Will You speak to all of this morning through your Holy Spirit, so when we leave this place, You will see that our desire to live daily with Jesus has increase.   We thank You for this time to be a gathered church.   We offer this prayer relying upon J e...

Corona Caroling

Here's some of the group caroling at their 2nd facility, Crossroads Church member, Alison Hargett has led a group to minister in a local assisted living center.   They've led Bible School for the residents for a few years now and this has turned into a monthly Bible Study for residents with her, her daughters and some other moms and their daughters as well.  In this season of social distancing and lockdown for assisted living facilites, Alison's group got creative and went, "Corona Caroling" last week.  They sang outside the windows to the residents.  The windows couldn't be opened but they sang loud and the residents loved it!  They did a couple of songs with American Sign Language and brought smiles to faces.  They've made plans with another facility for this coming week and look forward to doing this again.  "We can't do our normal Bible Study but we figured out a way to bring them a little joy anyways!" said Hargett.

When Will the End Be? Matthew 24.36-44

Keep watching.   Question:   When will the end be?   Jesus is coming to restore all things.   There will be no more dying and no more fear.   Jesus gives the disciples the hope of His return.   He wants them to have assurance.    “When are you doing to all these things?” the disciples wonder.   We do this with other things in our lives as well.   For example, when someone gets engaged we ask, “When’s the date?”   When someone is about to graduate we want to know the graduation date.   We want to have the details.   This is a natural curiosity.   We have the same questions the disciples had.   Answer: We do not know when Jesus will return .    There’s the answer!   It’s an important answer.   This is the most important future event of our lives, when Jesus answers the disciples in verse 36:              ...
