January 31, 2015

Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather for praise and prayer, Word and worship.

This Morning the message is Living in Peace. In the Sermon on the Mount, we hear Jesus say, "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."  We believe in the power of God and his love for us, so our last sermon of this series will hopefully show us how to cope with our worries by ultimately trusting in God.

Next Week the message is You are Never Alone.  On this Sabbath, Bill Aumack will kickoff the series on Friendship. Many people are lonely, even when surrounded by others.  But God never leaves us alone, He is always with us. The Bible tell us one of God's name is Immanuel, which means God is with us. We will explore what does this promise mean for us?

Weekly Bible Passage: We are concentrating on learning Bible passages in 2015. Each week you will get a Bible passage on a business card to review and learn. We provided a snap ring so you can keep your Bible texts together. Reviewing the passage one or two times a day for 7 days should commit it to memory. At the end of the year you will have learned 52 new verses.

Saturday Bible Study: Saturday afternoons at 4 pm there is a Bible Study in the Fellowship Hall. This study covers the basics of Christianity and Seventh-day Adventism. If you are interested, or know of someone who maybe interested, invite them to join us.

Flower signups: You can signup to provide the worship flowers for next year in the foyer. Thanks for helping with the worship service!

The message on February 14th is Will You Be Mine?  This Sabbath happens to be on Valentine's Day, and the message is about God's invitation.  Jesus said, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me" (Revelation 3:20).  God is always knocking on the door of our hearts, and it is up to us to let him in.

January 24, 2015

God invites us to come before him in worship -- and so we do this day. Let us focus solely on him for this brief time, to hear his Word and glorify our Savior, Jesus Christ.

This Morning the message is Where Are Your Treasures? This is a message on our giving to the Lord and how it reflects on where our treasures are.  The reality is that everything that we have comes from God, and I believe he gives us so we can learn the gift of generosity.

Next Week the message is Living in Peace. In the Sermon on the Mount, we hear Jesus say, "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."  We believe in the power of God and his love for us, so our last sermon of this series will hopefully show us how to cope with our worries by ultimately trusting in God.

The message on February 7th is You are Never Alone.  On this Sabbath, we are going to start off with a message that reminds us that God is always with us.

January 17, 2015

Welcome to worship, education and Christian fellowship on a glorious winter morning! Please greet those worshiping near you.

This Morning the message is Love for Our Enemies.  During his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus asks us to love and pray for our enemies.  Jesus is telling us our need to be able to forgive those that have harmed us.  This Sabbath, we will reflect on how our anger or bitterness, can create a distance in our relationship with God.

Welcome to worship in the name of God the Father, his beloved Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, who descended as a dove at Jesus' baptism. May we all sense God's touch today.

Next Week the message is Love for Our Enemies.  During his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus asks us to love and pray for our enemies.  Jesus is telling us our need to be able to forgive those that have harmed us.  This Sabbath, we will reflect on how our anger or bitterness, can create a distance in our relationship with God.
