9/1 "Identifying the Patterns" (Judges 2:18-19 & Rev. 2:1-7)
IN A NUTSHELL - Each of us make choices each day based on priorities we have, which in turn result in actions that formulate our reputation. These tend to become patterns that model our lives, and tend to mentor those following us. Our foundational convictions, significant relationships, reoccurring cylces, intentional decisions and special events celebrated become the patterns with which we live. The most important question you can ask is this: Where is your "pattern" taking you and those that are following you?
