Five Stones of Rememberance
Throughout redemptive history certain religious groups have gathered to say prayers, preach sermons, recite creeds, sing hymns and then as the gathering ended would exclaim, "That was church." At the same time heaven also makes an assessment about those same church services by asking, "This is church"? As we recount our story, on this final Sunday of 2006, can we come into agreement with heaven so we both can say, "This is church"! ~ Pastor Mel Five Stories of 2006 1. Babies, new Christ followers, additional staff, weddings...this is how the Lord added to the church family. 2. $100,000 Sunday 3. The Sunday we prayed for the healing of physical and emotional wounds and people were healed. 4. The Thrive and Maximum Impact simulcasts along with other outreach ministries. 5. A big increase in participation of Bible studies.
Remembering What and Why
Memory is one of God's good gifts to help keep us connected to Himself and His purposes. What are you remembering?
The Story of the Stones
God parted the Jordan river so Israel could enter the Promised Land across dry ground. God instructed Joshua to build a memorial to this event using 12 stones from the Jordan riverbed and to pass this story on to their decedents. What if we took the time to build similar memorials to God’s provision in our lives? Such visual reminders of God’s past provision, leading and care in your life can strengthen your faith for the future battles we will face as believers.
Making Known His Love
Scripture is full of commands to love one another; in fact, all of the law can be summed up in the word love. We are to love one another, and even to love our enemies. God intends for our love not to be merely abstract or sentimental, but real. Three of the images that God uses to describe the church capture aspects of how we are to love one another. The church is God's family, meaning that we have a unity in the gospel that overcomes all of our differences. The church is the body of Christ, meaning that we all have different functions, some of which may be more prominent than others, but all of us are needed, and we all need one another. The church is the temple of God, meaning that we exist for a far greater purpose than ourselves. We must take care of one another; this is commanded, and it provides a witness to the world, but most importantly, we do this because we love one another and we belong to one another.

Forming Rock Like Faith From The Journey
Forming Rock Like Faith From The Journey Joshua 4: 6-24 The superstructures of our lives are built upon the foundation of our memories. We are instructed by our memories as to the most creative way to live in the present, and they help equip us with a positive hope for the future. This scripture helps us understand that hope for the future is actually nourished from memories of the past-which helps bring meaning to the present. Memories are important!

Between Grace and Stones
When the path of sin is the one we take what can we learn along the way
Stones of Grace
We often hear the phrase, “He that is without sin cast the first stone.” Another way of saying this is “He who lives in a glass house shouldn’t throw rocks.” Almost everyone knows that saying. Even people who’ve never read the Bible. It’s usually used as a defense against a particularly sinful lifestyle. I think we’d all agree its been used and abused. But it is a saying that is in the Bible. Or is it?
