Are We Worthy? By Terry McCauley
This is Part One of a three part series. This question is an important one, perhaps the most important question. How each of us answers this question affects not only ourselves, but all those whose lives we touch, our churches, our society and yes, the world.
Are we worthy? Do we have inherent dignity and worth? Are we worthy of God and God’s love and blessing? Are we worthy of being one with God and one with each other?
Godly Posture By: Pastor Beau
Greetings Beloved,
It is crunch time and you find yourself torn in two because you do not know what to do.
A quick review of your life and you see a well entrenched pattern of bad decisions and missteps and you ask yourself “why”.
In sports, we often compliment good coaches by saying they place their athletes and teams in a good position to win. What is this good position? Physical fitness; proper skills; proper attitudes/thinking; and team culture. Successful athletes and teams are, almost always, are fundamentally sound. These fundamentals can be readily seen in their physical and mental posture and composure. Championship teams have prepared for success through developing and maintaining the proper mental and physical posture. What is true in the physical has even greater ramifications in the Spiritual and decision making realm. In other words, to ensure a greater likelihood of making the Godly decision or breaking the cycle of Worldly (read bad) decisions, we must examine our spiritual and mental posture.
Waiting By Pastor Jeff Renner
I’ve been out of full-time vocational ministry for a year this month. Having spent much of my adult life serving the church in one capacity or another, this last year has been weird, but really good for me. While I know what my calling is, I also know he’s called me to take a season away from full-time ministry to support my wife as she finishes her last year of Law School. That said, here’s what the hardest part of taking a sabbatical is: doing nothing. You see, I love to serve, I love to teach, I love to lead worship and during this season I’m doing none of it. In fact, writing these monthly articles are the only thing remotely connected to a formal ministry in my life right now.
Social Media By Gabriella Marx
This month I would like to talk about social media. Lets face it, social media is a big part of our lives now a days. We check it every day, we find out new information, and we get to speak what’s on our minds.
Answering To Inge By Jeff Ferris
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might…
(Ecclesiastes 9:10 New KJV)
With good will doing service, as to the Lord… (Ephesians 6:7 KJV)
“If God tells you to do something, do it.”
That is a quote from our assistant pastor, Bob, in his sermon on Sunday morning, September 8th. I heard the words, but had no idea at the moment of how they might apply to me on a personal level. It would not be until later in the day that I came to understand. And it happened in the least likely of ways.
