Life After the Storm
If we are going to reach out with the love of Jesus to the community around us we will not be able to avoid the topic of divorce. All of us have been affected either directly or indirectly by the breakdown of the family, and we desperately need to understand HOW to respond to a broken, hurting world. Unfortunately, a marriage failure often brings a "double whammy" in that there is first the very real pain of the breakup, and secondly, an equally great pain that the church does not know how to respond. May God give us grace to learn. Key Passage: Psalm 34:18

Are You Seeing Results?
Part 5 "Are you seeing results?" Romans 1:5-7 A true and growing Christianity is seen in its results. Every growing Christian must: 1. Remember the purpose of our deliverance. The purpose for our deliverance involves: * God receiving glory * Humanity receiving grace * God giving gifts 2. Respond with a passion to declare the gospel. This declaration must be: * Shared with all people * Shared properly 3. Recognize the privileges that bring forth our delight. Our delight comes because: * We belong to God * We are beloved by God * We become saints * We are showered with His blessings

Though hesitant, Gideon accepts the call and we too must choose whether we will follow God's call. How will we respond? With excuses of insecurity and inadequacy? Or with willingness and trust?

Christmas Eve-Responding To God In The Ordinary
Throughout the Bible we see this principle over and over again: God meets human beings in the "ordinary" and not the spectacular. Christmas is our opportunity to respond to God's initiation in the midst of our ordinary, boring and mundane lives.
