G.I.G.O.
Teachers
Lesson Summary
Pastor Sutton opened the class by welcoming newcomers and announcing several upcoming events, including the October 14‑17 Lectureship titled “There Is No Proof of God,” the June 17‑19 Treasure Valley mission, and a series of service projects for both youth and adults on the church grounds and in the community. He reminded the congregation of the Biblical principle of sowing and reaping, referencing Galatians 6:7‑9, and encouraged volunteers to engage in practical acts of love. The central teaching introduced the concept of G.I.G.O.—Garbage In, Garbage Out—drawn from a computer analogy. Sutton explained how the data we input into our spiritual ‘system’ determines the output of our lives, urging a shift toward “Good In, Good Out.” He supported this with Jesus’ teaching in Luke 6:43, 45‑46, illustrating that a heart’s condition is evident in both words and deeds. The class concluded with a call to examine personal “garbage,” replace it with Scripture‑filled input, and actively serve the church and surrounding community, trusting that God observes and rewards sincere effort.
