This morning, if you are in Christ, then you are extraordinary! The
option of being just an ordinary person on earth is thrown out the
window when we have committed our lives to Christ. Remember,
Paul said, “I have been crucified…”, and ordinary people
do not experience crucifixion! As you go through this devotional,
consider how extraordinary we truly are and the ways we can be
different than the ordinary things of this world.
1) Circle the things in this list that are alive?
rock
carpet
fish
door
tree
cell phone
We know things are alive because they can do 3 extraordinary things; living things
can grow, change, and reproduce.
Read Ephesians 2:4-5: Consider what Paul says about our being alive as
Christians.
2) Read 1 Corinthians 14:20: How are some ways you can continue to grow and
show you are alive as a Christian?
3) Read Isaiah 1:16–17: What are some things God would tell you
to change about yourself to show you are alive as a Christian?
4) Read Matthew 28:19: What are some ways to reproduce disciples of Christ?
Being able to grow, change, and reproduce makes us extraordinary! I pray that as
we walk this earth we are able to see just how extraordinary we are through the
strength and power of God. I also pray that we will continue to search out ways to
honor and glorify God with every action we take. May God bless you as you walk
with Him at your side.

Bailey’s Blatherings
Chicago - Can you believe that it is already February? Where has the year gone? This year the Riders
for Christ are planning a service trip to Chicago, IL, over Spring Break. We will have the honor of once
again working with the Northside Church of Christ’s Food Pantry to assist in giving out much needed
food to those in need. I had a chance to see firsthand this past Spring Break just how many people in
that area would go without the basic “staple foods” if it weren’t for this amazing ministry. We will also
go to the Greater Chicago Food Depository to repackage boxes of food for pantries to distribute. I find
it so inspiring that our students are willing to give up their Spring Breaks to go to the “Windy City”
instead of the beach or even the couch at Mom and Dad’s house.
The Riders for Christ, Brian, and I would like to ask you to add us to your prayer lists. Please pray for
this trip, not just that we will be safe, but that we will take full advantage of the opportunities that God
will provide--opportunities to brighten someone’s day, to share God’s word, to be God’s hands, feet,
and mouthpiece in this world. This congregation has been so supportive of this trip, and we truly
thank you for that as well as ask your continued support of this trip. If you would like to help
financially, you can give your donations to Joel, Brian, or Linda.
Camp Kurios Reunion - It’s early February. The air is crisp and COLD and the grass is that perfect
shade of brown, so you know what that means—IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR SUMMER CAMP!!!!!! I can just
see it now, children running, kickballs being kicked, and relationships being developed and
strengthened. Camp Kurios holds a special place in my heart, as well as the hearts of others here at
Jackson Street. Do you know why? Well, I wish that I could explain it to you, but the best way is to
show you. The great thing is that tonight, Camp Kurios is hosting a Camp Reunion at Beech Springs. I
would like to take the opportunity to invite you to come out and see what everyone is talking about and
be a part of camp life for a little bit. Who knows, you may just decide that you want to attend one of
the three sessions this summer either as a camper or as a counselor. I will drive the church bus to the
reunion tonight, so if you would like to ride along, come to the Student Center at 4 PM and join us. We
will return around 8:30. Hope to see you there…here…you know what I mean.
-Joel
