Women's Study is a series of monthly conversations where women talk like women about God. It's an opportunity to delve deeper into theological topics and to study how these truths can be applied to the unique roles and callings of women.
Classes are forming for the beginning of 2019 and we need to know if you are joining in.
In order for us to do the very things God has called us to do, we need His presence and His power. When we ask, He gives.
Our small group meetings for the first week of January are being replaced with a prayer meeting. Join your voice with ours in asking our generous Father to work in our lives and our city.
On Sunday Pastor Eric preached the second half of God’s response to Job from Job 40:6-42:6. In it we find God providing a detailed description of two fierce, ancient beasts. It’s God’s way of telling us that He is the master of our every monster.
Small Groups are not one ministry in the life of our church, they are the ministry. Like breathing, these groups provide oxygen to our relationships with one another. They facilitate discipleship. They provide a context for us to help one another become more like Jesus.
We’ve begun a short series on the question, “Why small groups?” This is the next installment.
Do you enjoy being told you are wrong? Not many people do.
But it’s a necessary part of Christian discipleship. Our thoughts and our lives need to change. They need to be further aligned to God’s thoughts and His ways. We need to better reflect the image of Jesus.
God often uses others to point out the areas we need to change. My thinking and living is not air-tight. It needs refinement.
Engaging with my small group means the way I think about my life, God, and others will regularly be challenged. Simply by listening to others describe their challenges and decisions I am forced to re-evaluate my own. Not to mention the times when another Christian will “speak the truth in love” to me directly.
This is healthy and good. It’s a foundational reason we have small groups. God has designed and equipped us to help one another change.
Our 6th Annual Christmas Eve Service is going to be here in just over a month. We will be singing traditional Christmas carols, reading Scripture, playing with fire, and eating cookies.
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors. Pray that God would meet us as we preach the light of the gospel to our city.
Sundays mornings are a whirlwind. There are volunteers setting up. Sunday school in the garden. The worship team rehearsing. Guests arriving early. Families racing to get there on time.
It’s mayhem, but we love it. Every Sunday God Himself draws us together.
There is one way that you could help us make Sundays a little less chaotic and more seamless:
If there’s a big gap of chairs between you and the other folks in your row, close the gap. This makes it easier for those arriving after you to quickly and easily find a seat. It’s a simple and kind way to serve others.
Our annual Christmas Eve service is quickly approaching and you are invited to sing in our choir.
All we require is that:
You love to sing (we welcome singers of all skill levels)
You can commit to one rehearsal before Christmas Eve
You can be there on Christmas Eve
If you meet those requirements then fill out the interest form and we will be in touch.
If we need God to supply every breath, then we need Him for everything else. In order for us to do the very things God has called us to do, we need His presence and His power. When we ask, He gives.
