Exploring God and His Feasts (News for this week)


Offerings

We have moved our receiving of Tithes and Offerings to a table in the back of the church. Please feel free to leave your offerings there anytime before or during the service. If you would like to make this a part of your worship experience, feel free to take your offerings during our singing time of worship. Please try to leave your offering before the end of the service, or immediately following our worship service. Thank you.

Is God Calling You?

During our series on Intentional Relationships, please be asking God if He wants you to lead a discussion group. We are excited to currently see eight discussion groups forming. These groups will begin in September and will coincide with the sermon series dealing with life’s 7 Big Questions. Every group will be furnished with detailed discussion guides, and it is an opportunity to be intentional to reach out to those who don’t yet know Jesus. If you are interested, please click here to let us know.

Celebrating the Feasts of God

God’s story is long and rich! One of the keys to understanding His prophetic ways is to grasp and celebrate the significance of His Feasts. The Fall feasts are coming up, and we’ll be looking at them soon:
  • August 19: Feast of Trumpets
  • August 26: Day of Atonement
  • September 2: Feast of Tabernacles.

Why does God allow pain and suffering?

Sunday's question is one of the hardest ones to answer, and it is one that all who have ever lived have asked or wondered.  You can watch the message below, or listen here . Some questions to consider this week: Share with your family or friends your own times of suffering. Who do you know who is suffering now? How can you connect with them and be a comforting presence? Where can you make the choice in your own life to choose "better" over "bitter"?

The Fall Feasts of God: The Feast of Booths

I LOVE God's story!  I always love reviewing the rich truths and prophetic realities of God's Feasts (appointed times). In Leviticus, very early in the history of the nation of Israel, God appointed seven times each year when His people would stop what they were doing and remember. The feasts served as a reminder of what God had done, how He had provided, and what He was going to do in their life as His people.  For many Christians today, we have forgotten or ignored these amazing feasts. For some, we feel that these were for the Old Testament, or are limited to the Jews. The truth, however is that these feasts and celebrations are so rich in truth and history that every believer can see their faith deepened if we'll just stop what we are doing and choose to celebrate the feasts. In doing so, we are welcomed into the realities of God's eternal story as well as His story He has been writing since the earth was created.  On Sunday, we looked at the final Fall Feas
