Sunday July 26, 2020. Today we'll look at the blessing and benefit of God's discipline.
Join us today as we look at one of the "Top 10 Challenges Facing the Church Today" - Finances.
Today we begin a new series that looks at the Top 10 things families are struggling with or facing today.
Today we continue talking about being a follower of Jesus. Both Jesus and St Paul remind us that it's possible to follow a "different Jesus". Today we'll discover how to know the RIGHT Jesus! And hopefully, make our choice to follow HIM!
When you're a "Disciple" you are a follower. The question is this: "WHO are you following?" Today we'll look at Jesus and how we can KNOW we're following Him.
Jesus calls us out of the grave and into LIFE! He is Risen! He is Risen INDEED! Hallelujah!
Today we celebrate "Palm Sunday". It's the day Jesus "Triumphantly Enters" into Jerusalem, beginning the week that ends in His crucifixion and resurrection. Today we'll focus on the fact that Jesus STILL want's to "triumphantly enter" into our lives by faith and then commission us to continue His triumph over sin, the fear of death and the devil.
Jesus teaches us to "focus" on God's Kingdom come. Today we'll consider some ways to do that!
In these "dark times"...it's good to know that "God is Light"..and He invites us into the light of His grace and truth!
Today we continue our series titled "When The Kingdom Comes" and we'll look at Matthew's Gospel chapter 10:7-8. In this text Jesus sends out the Apostle's on a mission and it's Miraculous! Please note due to technical difficulties, only part of the service is available. Still worth watching! Awesome music!
We continue our series "Giants in the Land" as we go into Numbers 14 where Israel rebels. Today we get into the Giant of Rebellion. We see how Moses intercedes for the rebellious congregation, just like Jesus intercedes for us.
Today we dive into Numbers 13. The moral of the story (there are many!)? But the one we want to clue into today is this: How do your fears keep you from ALL that God has promised and offers you?
Now that we have a PLAN to be in the Word, let's begin to keep a record of what God is saying to us in and through His Word in our journal. Why? We answer that today!
The Goal: "...know him and the power of his resurrection..." Philippians 3:10.
"know the "plans He has for you"...for "peached and not evil"...for "a future and a hope" Jeremiah 29:11
The Revelation of Jesus is one of THE most amazing books ever written! Tonight as we have come to the end of our mid-week Advent focus and we are seeing the end of Advent as a whole, it’s appropriate to look at the real END of all things!
So, Peter addresses this to the churches that were wondering “when”. What’s interesting in this section, is that NOT ONLY does he give us a clue about how God sees time in comparison to how we experience it, BUT…he also indicates that WE have a role to play in “when”!
He gives us all good things…and because of His generosity…”how can we keep from singing”? How can we keep walking in the darkness of our self-centeredness? How can we NOT want to give ALL that we are for Him.
What if, God told you to go? What would you do? Today we'll cast that vision! And who knows, perhaps we will.... GO!
Please note that the audio is missing for the first several minutes. It does pick up around the 5 minute spot.
We always start with the individual almost like we’re the source. But when you see the vision of scripture, you discover that GOD is the source!
So, today we’ll look at our very closest mission field….our neighbor! And we’ll see God’s vision for them!
Today we’ll see that God desires that EVERY person who ever IS, would also see His Vision for their life and seek to align their life with it! AND what we’ll see is at the very heart of God’s Vision, is God’s Mission!
When you look at scripture, GOD’S Vision isn’t that mysterious! He’s very clear about His desire for His people and our life! But how do we “see” God’s vision? Today we’ll find out AND, this will begin a journey of considering how WE might see and know and begin to walk in God’s vision for our life!
