BE RESTORED TO YOUR PURPOSE
August 7, 2022
Robert Downey, Jr. was a successful actor. However, he became undependable and a criminal from drug usage. He made the movie, “Restoration,” about a young court doctor for King Charles II of England who became monarch during the Restoration after Parliamentary rule. Soon, the doctor fell from favor and was cast out of court. This caused him to change and become a serious physician helping the masses overcome the plague. After making this movie, Downey went into serious rehab and became a new person. With help from a fellow rehab actor, Mel Gibson, Downey’s career soared to new heights, playing such roles as Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes.
Sunday I’m preaching on “Be Restored to Your Purpose,” from 2 Samuel 19:1-15. We’ll look at “Climb Out of Your Grief,” verses 1-7; and “Get Back to Your Place,” verses 8-15. King David’s son threw David off the throne, then was killed in battle. David had to overcome his grief and take his place in the kingdom again. Likewise, we need to work through our grief and take our place again in society, our family, our church and the kingdom of God. Please worship with us Sunday and help us be restored.
Saturday at 8:00 is our Men’s Breakfast. Come and get some physical, mental and spiritual restoration!
Love,
Jim Meek

El Camino Baptist Church
Life Group Bible Study
Mission and Vision
Our vision at El Camino Baptist Church is to help our people become true disciples of Christ in the simplest way possible by helping them Love, Grow, and Serve.
Love – Love God, neighbor, and the un-reached world
Grow – in likeness of Christ through the fellowship of the church
Serve – Being affirmed in their gifts and call, members take on opportunities to serve on ministry teams, our community, and serve local and foreign missions
Generosity runs throughout these as a virtue to endorse and give the church its mission.
Our Life Group Bible Study Ministry fits into the second of those components, Grow. We need to be immersed in the truth and held accountable for growing by God’s people in fellowship with one another in a weekly Life Group Bible Study.
As the members of our Life Group Bible Studies grow, we will grow in the other two areas , Loving God, our neighbors, and the unreached world, and Serving in ministry at El Camino Baptist Church, our community, and missions.
If you would like to host or facilitate a Life Group, please contact our Life Group Director, Carl Turner by email, carl@elcaminobaptist.org, calling the church office, (916) 488-1522, or click here to complete the Life Group Interest Form.
