CarePortal Update
As a church, we constantly look for ways to serve our local community. One of our newest partnerships is with The CarePortal. This non-profit plays a key role in helping families keep children in their homes during times of crisis. Our CarePortal ministry leader, Carrie Wurz, is here today to give us an update and share how we can continue supporting this important work. Visit her in the Lobby for more information and if you want to join Belmont’s CarePortal team!

Message Notes:
“Be Holy!”
Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;What Peter is Telling us:
-Get Ready for action
-Be Clear Headed
-We're Adopted
-The Christian Life is Now
-Be Holy Because God is Holy
“Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.”
“ ‘Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God. 8 Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy.”
What makes something Holy?
Something is Holy when in the presence of God or Set aside for His purpose.
The Fine Print:
We are Tempted
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
(Hebrews 12:1-3)
