June's Focus: The Purpose of God

Hi folks,

We are so thankful to God for all that He has done and for how faithful He has been to us during this past month. As we journey forward we will continue to celebrate “the family” – both our own and the church. Neither we nor the world we live in is perfect, but it is the world in which we experience goodness of God. To keep your focus on Jesus!

After everything Job experienced, he declared: “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted” (Job 42:2). What an amazing perspective and attitude to have a life? We need to answer the following questions:
·                What is purpose?
·                Why do I need purpose?
·                How do I discover God’s purpose for me?
·                How do I live in it?

There are great things laying ahead for us in June, so check the bulletin to see when important events take place. There are camps; new things to sign up for; and opportunities for God to use you. Don’t miss the ministry opportunities if relationships are a priority for you or if you long to be free from pain in them and to grow. Sign up if you want to be part of God’s purposes in changing the city! I look forward to sharing with you in these things during this month.

Join us as we journey in “Discovering God’s Eternal Purposes.”
You are blessed in order to bless.

Hearing and doing I'm amazed at how easy it becomes to nod our heads at all the right places after serving God for a while. We are quick to agree when someone speaks to us about God's Word (given that it is sound doctrine of course), without asking ourselves if it is merely theory to us. The fact of the matter is that most of us believe what the Bible teaches with all our hearts. How is it then that we so easily fall into the trap of knowing but not applying? Hearing but not doing? How do we keep ourselves from thinking we know it all but hold on to a zeal for God's Word that leads to obedience? It is relatively easy to read the 'thou shalt not' passages, to apply it and to tap ourselves on the shoulder thinking we did well! Of course we are doing well if we abstain from all the things we know is bad for us - sinful behaviors, unhealthy attitudes, etc. - but I do think there is more to living a life of abundance and victory! There are many pas...

Hi all  Easter is a time for celebration for Christian believers across the world. It commemorates the most amazing event all of history – the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This is the most amazing miracle of all time. No others can compare with it. The resurrection of Jesus Christ declares his victory over death and evil. It is the beginning of a new life, a new kind of life, a life beyond the grave. With the resurrection of Jesus Christ a new era dawned for mankind. The New Testament states that the same body of Jesus Christ that was buried was raised on the third day to a glorified state. This happened to fulfil the Scriptures. Christ’s resurrection is evidence of his deity; proves his victory over death and the Powers of darkness; gives us a living hope and assurance of God’s acceptance; and is the foundation for our eventual resurrection. There is a day coming when Christians will also rise from the dead and receive a glorified body like Christ’s. In fact, whe...
