New Leeland CD

Check out Leeland's new cd "Opposite Way"...releases this tuesday the 26th.

No Easy Button

Don't you wish sometimes we had an easy button to push in life.  The truth is life is hard...there are difficult things that happen to us all the time and how we respond shows a lot about where we are in our relationship with Christ.  Next time something tough happens, don't look for the easy button but ask God what he wants to do in the situation.  Remember...God is good all the time!

Scarred Series Week 1 - Admitting you have scars

Wednesday night we began a new series called "Scarred". We are looking at the scars we have in our life...not so much physical, but emotional and relational. We are looking at the scars we have on our heart and our soul. With most of the physical scars we have there is a story behind it, the same is true with our emotional and relational scars. We began by understanding that it is important to admit that we have pain in our past and because of those pains, we are being effected by them even today. I tried to express that I know that they hurt....because I hurt...because our other adults hurt. Click on the pics below to read their scar stories. This is also an opportunity to share your scars. Leave a comment....share what scars you have from your past. This can be done totally anonymously.

We all have scars from the pains in our past. Join us at the Gathering this wednesday @ 7 pm as we begin our new series called "Scarred".

Matthew 5:44

Jesus said in the sermon on the mount, "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." I was thinking about it today: Valentines Day, the day of love, and how easy it is to love those who love us, to love those we get something from. I want to love those I disagree with, those I am not like, those who are struggling with sin in their life, those who hurt me and disappoint me...I want to love like Jesus loved. I challenge you to love those who are difficult for you to love today, because through that love they may be introduced to the living God.

'08 Best Year Ever

Just finished up the two week series called 2008 "Best Year Ever". We looked at four things we can do to have the best year ever:

1. Be a forgiver and let go of '07

2. Allow Christ to Be a part of everything

3. Livin on a prayer

4. Speak the truth in Love

'08 will have some difficulties for each one of us...but by doing a these things I believe, with the help of God, that we can have the best year ever.
