Summer Shifts and Fall Arrival

Early this summer we shared with you some of the changes we were making to accommodate shifting schedules people were experiencing as well as a time of regrouping in regard to our ministries. At that time we took a break from our Coffee Ministry and we shifted our worship team to be a much smaller team. Fall is arriving soon, and you may be wondering what is happening with our ministry teams. As for now, both of those changes will remain in effect. We will continue to prayerfully process our teams and ministries through the Fall months.

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
