Life Coach at King of Kings  What is life coaching?  Life coaching is all about having a conversation or a series of conversations that help you figure out what really matters to you and what makes your life feel fulfilling.  We have access to a Certified Life Coach, Dierdre Franks, here at King of Kings.  This is a ministry supported by the Great Commission Fund.  Please see the poster on the bulletin board in the foyer for more information and available time slots.

“Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the Word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:7-8)

I sometimes use this space to introduce to you some of our Christian leaders from the past. Today, I
would like to tell you a tiny bit about Athanasius of Alexandria, a city in Egypt. He was called to glory
on May 2, 373 A.D.
Athanasius was well known for standing strong for the Christian Faith in the face of opposition. He
wrote a book titled, “On the incarnation of the Word,” that defended the Biblical truth that Jesus is
100% God and 100% man at the same time. He was exiled a number of times, but Athanasius stood
firm on the teaching of Scripture. In the midst of all the resistance, someone told him that the world
was against him. To this Athanasius replied, “If the world is against the truth, then I am against the
world.”

By the grace of God, may we all stand strong in Jesus!
Pastor Russ
