Give Presence: Luke 11.27-28
We struggle with self-control, especially this time of year. That battle is aroused during this season. One of the fruits that God has so blessed us with is the fruit of self-control, that we would cultivate it and grow in it. From the internal battle to even the external we struggle with our self. We have a wrong view of ourselves and God. We have boastful hearts in who we are. Where does your boast lie? Everything in life is a glory issue. Our glory and whose glory is displayed in our life is whatever we are most satisfied in. For the issue of glory is also a joy issue and vice versa. Where your joy lies is where your boast lies. May we be happy in Jesus this advent season.

Give Presence: Luke 14.16-24
Excuses, excuses, and excuses. That is what people give too many times when it comes to Jesus and His Kingdom. Today we are challenged to quit making excuses and make Jesus the priority (truly all in all). May the church go to the lanes, streets, highways and hedges for the glory of God.

Give Presence: Galatians 5.22-25
What if Christmas looked different this year? What if you could receive a gift that lasted forever? Or what if you could give gifts that did? We want to invite you to rethink Christmas with us this year and to experience it for what it was meant to be. On Sunday, November 30 Advent begins. For some this might be new. It was for me and my family a few years ago as well, but it is a season that my family and I have grown to love and enjoy. The word advent means to come. During the Advent season we celebrate God sending Jesus to earth wrapped in human skin. We also look with great anticipation to the second coming of Jesus, who is coming again for His Bride, the church. In Scripture Jesus testifies that He is the one who is and who was and who is to come (Revelation 1.8). This is what we will be celebrating this coming season. We will be celebrating Advent during our worship gatherings beginning November 30 culminating at our Christmas Eve service.

Preparing for Advent
What a great joy to worship alongside our brothers and sisters of Nahnum Church. As we gather today we put our focus toward preparing our hearts for Advent, which begins November 30. May we worship Jesus fully, love all, spend less and give more this season as we seek to restore the scandel of Christmas in substituting compassion for consumption.

Galatians 5.13-21: Through Love Serve Others
Those who have been set free by Jesus have been called to freedom, but that freedom can be used for different things. Today in Paul’s letter to the Galatians he gives us the purpose of freedom and how we can enjoy the freedom that Christ has given freely to us.

Galatians 5.7-12: The Supremacy of Christ in Truth
Paul encourages the Galatians to live a life of obedience to the truth of God. They have been hindered from doing such by some false teachers. Paul in a most graphic manner wishes those hindering the Galatians to be rendered powerless. In this passage Paul takes us from the track and field arena, to the kitchen and to the movies with a closing scene that would cause the FCC and the MPAA to cringe. Paul's prayer is that truth with prevail in our life!

Galatians 5.1-6: Freedom
Freedom. What a word. It is tossed around much in these days. Many will exercise one of their rights that freedom brings in the coming days. But there is so much more to this word than what we experience in this country. Freedom. What a necessity. Do you know freedom? Do you enjoy it? This week Paul addresses this necessity in his letter to the Galatians.

Galatians 4.21-31: A Tale of Two
As we end chapter 4 of Paul’s letter to the Galatians we find a tale of two. In the midst of this tale there is a line drawn in the sand that is revealed through a historical perspective.

Galatians 4.8-20: marks of sonship
Scripture says that God is unknowable, but that He reveals some things to us. This week as we continue our study of the letter to the Galatians we look at three distinguishing marks that are revealed to us as characteristics of children of God.
