This second Sunday of Advent we look at an OT prayer for God's mercy. Is there a situation in our world today where God's intervention is needed? What about in your life as you prepare for Christmas? - Pastor
Restore Us!
This first Sunday of Advent we will look at an Old Testament prayer asking God for restoration. What do you need God to do in your life as you get ready for Christmas? - Pastor
God's Will Is What?
Paul wrote in this passage that three things were God's will for Christians. Maybe he could have emphasized church attendance or tithing. But instead, he mentioned the spiritual attitudes of consistent joy, prayer, and thankfulness. - Pastor
Rejoicing, Praying, Encouraging
The early church faced terrible opposition and persecution. Yet they persevered and grew. What kept them going? An attitude of joy, constant prayer, and mutual encouragement. - Pastor
Showing Preference and Fervency
More churches closed down last year than there were new churches being opened. Nine out of ten pastors will quit. What does it take to keep the church going and pastor's serving? We need God's love, and we need to love God. - Pastor Betts
Unhypocritical Love
A hypocrite is a person playing a role, to get you to believe something that is not true. God's love is genuine. Those who have God's love in their hearts must be sincere Christians. - Pastor Betts
Using God's Gifts in Service
The human body is a wonderful matrix of various parts functioning as one unit. That is how Paul describes the church. When every person uses God's gifts in service, much can be accomplished for God. Pastor
An Honest Evaluation
In a day when many people are "tooting their own horn," Christians need to be honest about what makes us special—our relationship with Jesus Christ. - Pastor Betts
