God Bless America!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!! I am so thankful to be placed in this Country to live my life. Having traveled to other nations and experienced other cultures, there is nothing that compares to what we enjoy here. We are going to celebrate our blessings on Sunday, July 4, and focus on how to live in this time of spiritual challenge. Jesus gave us some incredible direction in the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5. We are going to look at the attitudes He instructs us to embrace. I’m looking forward to sharing these dynamic truths with you.

July brings a fresh focus for our men’s and women’s Bible studies. You will be blessed by this four week opportunity to learn, grow, and interact with others.

Have a great 4th of July holiday!!

Basecamp

An exciting month is before us! We are concluding a week of fasting and prayer with a prayer meeting on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. It would be great if you could join us for prayer. Then, Sunday begins a series of four weeks called “BASECAMP”. Last year I received clear direction from the Lord in refining our vision for our church family and clarifying the process for how those new to our church can become a part of our family and grow to spiritual maturity. BASECAMP will be the entry point for everyone so I wanted to expose our entire church to this teaching. This will be done in the four Sunday’s of February. This week we begin with an interesting view of our 94 year history and provide an introduction to the vision. Here is the vision simply stated: A commitment to TRUTH (know it), GROWTH (pursue it), and LOVE (give it) leads to a healthy life. You are going to receive a lot of information in these four weeks that you will want to hang on to as the foundation for becoming all God has designed you to be. I can’t wait to share it with you.

Wednesday nights provide another opportunity for growth. The Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies are gaining momentum and we would love to have you there if it works in your schedule. There is a place for every member of the family with great children’s and youth meetings at the same time.

Looking forward to growing with you this month.

Miracles

We had another great experience on Wednesday night with the women’s Bible study meeting in the Activities Center and the men’s Bible study meeting in the upper concourse. There is an excitement in the air as we pursue growth in our lives and find fresh connections with others that are on the same path. It’s not too late to join in. Check it out this next Wednesday at 7:00 pm. You can bring the whole family as the children and youth have gatherings happening at the same time.

Miracles are the theme for Sunday. We could all benefit from a few miracles in our journey with God. There will be special prayer for anyone needing the miracle of forgiveness, the miracle of deliverance, the miracle of provision, and the miracle of healing. God is willing and waiting to touch us in supernatural ways.

Matthew 4:23-25
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.
