DNA:  Who we are.  What we do.

2/3/2023

 
This Sunday, at 9:30am, we will conclude our series DNA:  Who we are.  What we do.  As we close out this series on the core values that shape our identity and culture, I thought it might be fun to have you take short quiz.  See if you are able to fill-in the missing words in our core value statements below:  (the answers are at the bottom of this email)

1. Worship God _____________________ .
2. ________________ with one another _____________________ .
3. Grow to ___________ God deeply.
4. Go, __________, and tell the ___________ boldly.

So...how did you do?

Last week, we unpacked Paul's case for the importance of the gospel as the only hope for mankind, and how we are the instruments chosen by God to spread the "good news" with the world.  According to Matthew 28:19, John 20:21 and Acts 1:8, we have been sent by Jesus.  We are the answer to Paul's question in Romans 10:15:  "And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?"  So, understanding that one of our main roles as followers of Jesus is to share the gospel story with a lost world, how do we do that?  Where do you and I begin?  In short, we begin with prayer.  We begin by praying and asking Jesus to open our eyes to the lost around us.  We must learn to love lost people the way God does.  When Jesus stretched his arms out wide on the cross, he was saying, "I love you this much!"  I Corinthians 5:14 says, "For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all..."  Ask Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to give you a love for the lost.

This Sunday, I will introduce an evangelism strategy that is basic, simple and doable.  It's a strategy not built on slick marketing tools, but instead, is built on the relationships that you and I encounter every single day.  As we will learn on Sunday, evangelism is about investing in someone's life.  Evangelism is inviting them to experience Jesus and his church.  Finally, evangelism is introducing them to the life-changing power of the gospel.  Don't miss this Sunday at 9:30am, as we focus our attention on the message of cross.

Following the service, our adult Sunday school class will conclude their study in Acts.  Make plans to stick around after the service and experience Christian fellowship as we explore the life of the early church.

Note:  Thanks to everyone who donated beanies and scarves to Tonya.  Be on the lookout for pictures of her wearing these demonstrations of our love for one another.

Thank you for being a praying church.

Answers to the "fill-in-the-blank" core value statements:

1. Worship God passionately.
2. Connect with one another authentically.
3. Grow to know God deeply.
4. Go, show, and tell the gospel boldly.

See you Sunday.

9/29/2020

 
Even though we have had several opportunities to worship in person outside, I know many of you have been longing for a chance to worship God together in person and in our worship center and I'm excited to announce that time has finally arrived!  Our worship services will now be held indoors and in our church worship center beginning this Sunday, October 4 at 9:30am.  Below are some things you need to know as we come back together.
  • Gatherings will be limited to 50 people.
  • We are asking everyone to reserve your spot by replying to this email, calling the church or texting Doug or Roger with your name and how many people in your family will be attending.
  • Properly worn masks will be required at all times inside the building.
  • Social distancing protocols will be followed.  Seating in the sanctuary will be arranged to allow at least 6 ft. of physical distance between parties that are not in the same family.
  • Restrooms will be available with limited occupancy.
  • Hand sanitizer will be available and attendees will be encouraged to use it frequently
  • No food or drinks will be served.
As much as we desire to see all of you in-person, please stay home if you have any of the following:
  • A fever of 100.4 or greater
  • A new cough that you cannot attribute to another health condition
  • New respiratory issues that you cannot attribute to another health condition
  • Have been in contact with any suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the last 14 days
We will continue to provide our livestream service at 9:30am each Sunday for those that would prefer to worship in that way.
 
Don't forget to RSVP if you are wanting to be a part of our indoor gathering this Sunday, October 4th at 9:30am.
 
For God's glory!
 
Pastor Doug

Reclaiming Glory

2/11/2020

 
​Oftentimes, we struggle to form a cohesive understanding of the purpose of the church. Do we place our efforts and resources towards fulfilling The Great Commission solely? Do we send every member on an overseas mission trip? Do we knock on doors of our neighborhood to proclaim salvation through Christ? The following is an excerpt from John Piper’s book, “Let the Nations be Glad!”:
 
“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever. Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It’s the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white hot enjoyment of God’s glory. The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.”
 
When we get worship right, missions, evangelism, discipleship, ministry, family, etc. come into right perspective. Take time today to offer a moment of private worship adoring Him because He is worthy of our worship.
