This Coming Sunday, February 28, 2010
What do you think of when
you face a tough situation in life? Do you think it must be because of some
impossibly stupid thing you must have done? What if you can't really put your
finger on why you're in a down time or, worse, you just experienced a huge
victory in your Christian walk and suddenly find yourself "on the dry side"?
How can you expect to find a solution when you're just trying to keep your
discouragement from drowning you? Find out what it means to be "empowered" as
we study Mark 1: 12- 20 with a message called "Empowered". See ya Sunday.
Coming up....
-
March 7: Mark 1: 20 - 28.
-
"Map to the Future" A new,
6-week series about Biblical end-times prophecy begins April 11th.

A Word of Encouragement
Psalm 33:3 (KJV)
Sing unto him a new
song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
 Some years ago, a friend of
mine who visited my church was completely mystified by the music. My friend's
experience of church music was more along the lines of boring, the leader was
more of a performer that the "audience" politely listened too and the entire
concept of music in the church was just tradition - it had no relevance.
But my friend also found an
energy at my church that couldn't be defined, an excitement that seemed to
resonate as much as the amplifiers, joy in the faces of the people and a
definite sense of celebration. And why not? Our experience of excitement that
God has rescued us from a pointless life and offered us eternal validation and
meaning is something to get excited about. We cheer for a football team that may
win today and lose tomorrow - how much more should we cheer for our God, who
holds all of eternity in the palm of His hand? The truth is we need to sing
louder about our hope in God and our love for Him than any rock band on any
stage and shout with as much joy as any Super Bowl crowd whenever we get the
chance.
