You Be the Judge...What is Right?
Darcie will be speaking in the services and at Common Grounds today. Her topic: “You be the judge…. What is right?” Acts 3–6. Darcie has been “serving our persecuted family with hope” as a mission representative through her work at VOM for over 9 years. She has traveled extensively, sometimes with her husband Tim, throughout the eastern region of the U.S. sharing the challenging yet encouraging message of the persecuted church. Darcie has traveled to Sudan, China, Vietnam, Pakistan, Indonesia, Cuba, Myanmar, Laos, Kashmir, India, Korea and Columbia to bring help, encouragement and assistance to our family living there. She tenderly yet powerfully shares the challenging and inspiring stories and testimonies of our family in these nations. Through God’s word, she shares what this should mean to us. Although we refer to these believers as the suffering or persecuted church, Darcie communicates the rest of the story. God is at work for His eternal purposes in the lives of our brothers and sisters in these most difficult situations.

I Will Gather with the Saints
This 2nd message from the series "I Will Not Waste My Life This Year" details how crucial it is that we view church from an "other-centered" perspective. Church is not all about "ME" but about how I may exhort other believers on a regular basis. If you do not want this year to be a waste, you need to "Gather Faithfully with the Saints."

Last Words (Mark 16:9-20)
Jesus commands his disciples, and by extension his church, to preach the gospel to all nations, making and baptizing disciples. We preach the gospel, not to be intolerant or disrespectful, but out of love for others and because our Lord and Savior has commanded us to do so. He promises to pour out his Holy Spirit on us to empower us to preach the gospel and to care for one another. And in his ascension, he proves that he has completed everything necessary to satisfy God's justice, secure our acceptance before God, and provide for our every need. We belong to him!

Walking Worthy . . . For Others (Ephesians 4:1 - 5:2)
We are to walk worthy of the calling that brought us from death and wrath to being a forgiven child of God. Overwhelmingly, Paul describes this manner of walking in terms of our relationships: we are to walk in unity, play our part in the body of Christ, and put on the new man -- which is itself described in terms of bringing grace and encouragement and grace to one another.
