February 7th, 2009Thursday’s Grace Note
February 5th, 2009For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know {Him} {in this way} no longer. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, {he is} a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2Cr 5:14 – 17
Christ saves us, gives us eternal life, and secures for us a place in eternity. His love then motivates us, controls us, inspires us, corrects us, and drives us. The believer, saved by His grace, is immediately and eternally changed. A new life begins. No longer in love with sin, the believer is now in love with Christ. Thus, behaviors, attitudes, wants, desires, pleasures, and thoughts are changed. Over time, as grace becomes more amazing, as the believer understands it, and Him, more, the child of God is changed, even more. Sin becomes more offensive. Laziness is replaced by hard work. Silence is exchanged for the proclamation of truth. Grace does not create inactive, sitting-on-our-hands, waiting for heaven types of people. Neither does it create bitter, resentful, bigoted, close-minded religion-ists. No. Grace, and it’s transforming work, create thankful, giving, caring, thoughtful, loving, dutiful, patient, spiritual, kind, inventive people. We must, at all costs, continue to teach grace – the unmerited favor of our King.

1 + 1 = 2
January 5th, 2009This year’s theme at our church is 1 + 1 = 2.
I’d like to ask each of our members to reach out, and share the Gospel of Christ’s grace to (at least) one person during 2009.
Imagine what would happen if every believer, in every church, dedicated their time and talents, and focused on leading one other person to Christ. In one year, the size of the Kingdom would double!
Dream big! Ask God to open your eyes, so that you might see a world in need of a Savior. Then, ask Him to open the hearts of those who need Him – and believe that He will use you as His messenger.
Invite someone to church this Sunday.
Share the Gospel with a relative.
Take time to visit someone who is sick.
Pray for those with whom you work.
This year, place your life in the hands of the Father, and ask Him to use you, and bless you, and change you, and teach you. Then, open you eyes and see Him do awesome things!

Communion And Baptism – March 27
March 27th, 2008This Sunday, we will celebrate Communion and conclude our morning service with Baptism. Please join us as we remember the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We practice ‘open’ Communion – and invite all believers, regardless of denomination or church affiliation, to come and join with us.
{There is} one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 4:4-6
