Believing beyond what you see – 1 Kings 19

January 4, 2018 by Jim Jamison

Often during the holidays we push through the hectic schedules of life. We find ourselves burning the candles at both ends, and when we get to the end, there is an exhaustion that accompanies that letdown. Unfortunately, after an emotional event, we can have a physical letdown, that causes us to think and act incorrectly. How do we recognize and overcome those times. Join us this Sunday, January 7, at 10:30 am as we walk through 1 Kings 19, and attempt to understand how God enabled Elijah to overcome that physical and emotional meltdown, that accompanied his great victory seen in Chapter’s 17-18. God taught Elijah 6 principles for how to overcome a challenge in your life :

1. Schedule a break in your life (1 kings 19:3)- we all need to have time to get away and reassess our lives. 2. Plan on a rest (1Kings 19:5-6) – There are times when we just need to get some sleep in order to see things more rationally. 3. Listen for God (1 Kings 19:11-12) – Often we are looking for God to speak to us in a loud dramatic way and in reality He often speaks to us in a… READ MORE

A Peculaiar Visit – Luke 1:26-38

December 19, 2017 by Jim Jamison

Christmas is arguably the most widely celebrated f all the world’s holidays, involving more people and nations than any other. But at the same time, it is perhaps the most misunderstood of all our major holidays. Christmas honors a divine person and remembers a divine event; it does not celebrate human achievement, but divine accomplishment. Crowed shopping malls, office parties, alcohol consumption, gift giving, holiday decorations, and family get-togethers do not reflect the true meaning of Christmas. There is noting man-made about the Christmas story. It is the most miraculous, compelling narrative in history. As the Holy Spirit relates the dramatic story of Jesus’ birth. Those who truly celebrate Christmas do so by remembering the profound reality tat God sent His only Begotten Son to die for the sins of all who put their faith in Him. Join us this Sunday, December 24 at 10:30 am as we explore Luke 1:26-38 as we are reminded of the preparation for the first Christmas!… READ MORE

What is the Blessed Hope? 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

November 22, 2017 by Jim Jamison

The question of when Christ will return has fueled, speculation by many “well meaning” preachers, and by many for their own gain. It is often used to scare the lost, and wayward believers to get in line for Christ, but what is the purpose for us to know that Christ will return, and what does the Bible say about that return? This Sunday, November 27, during the morning service at 10:30 am we will examine 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and attempt to understand what Paul was talking about when he mentions to Titus in Titus 2:13 concerning the “Blessed Hope”. We want to understand that the primary purpose of the rapture of the Church is not to scare the wayward, but to encourage and comfort those who are following Christ. While the reality of this event should cause people to pause and consider their relationship with Christ, this is a wonderful promise, that gives believers something exciting to look forward to. We hope to see you this Sunday as we look at this wonderful future event!!!… READ MORE
