"Imagine A Church"

Imagine a church that welcomes you regardless of your age, your looks, the clothes you wear, the amount of money you have, your past experiences, your stage in life or your stage in the journey of faith.
Imagine a church that is amazed by your God given gifts and talents and is eager to help you use them to make the community and world around you better. 
 
Image a church that could step outside the norm, embracing new technology and ideas, while also staying true to a sound Biblical foundation.
 
Imagine a church that challenges the status quo in its Christian life by studying, praying, practicing, and praising with receptive hunger that grows deeper every day.
 
Image a church that seizes the opportunity to make a positive impact in the community through service and spreading the message of hope of Jesus Christ to others.  
 
Imagine a church where strangers and guests are united as a family and want to nurture one another in their spiritual growth. 
 
Our vision is that your imagination becomes reality as we seek to Exalt God!
 
We invite you to join us for our worship service this Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m.!

"FOOD FOR THOUGHT"


Ashes to Ashes

You are dust, and to dust you shall return.  Genesis 3:19


An ancient Christian ritual imposes ashes on our foreheads with these words, reminding us forcefully that we all are born to die.  Without exception, the wounds of sin are terminal.

Except, the gospel of the cross proclaims a new future for us. Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, and by his wounds, we are healed.  Our sinfulness offends our holy God and deserves the judgment of death.  Jesus died to offer healing grace to all who believe in him.  Let this be our goal for Lent:  to receive again the healing power of the cross and to live as healthy children of God.

REFLECT
How have sin's toxic wounds distorted and disrupted my life?
How can the wounds of Christ bring healing to my soul?

Recommended Readings:
  • Genesis 3:19 (Origin of Mortality): "...For dust you are and to dust you shall return".
  • Ecclesiastes 3:20 (Common Destiny): "All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return".
  • Genesis 18:27 (Humility): Abraham says, "...I who am but dust and ashes"
  • Ecclesiastes 12:7 (Return of Spirit): "Then the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it".
  • Isaiah 61:3 (Beauty for Ashes): A promise of restoration: "...to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning...
 
PRAY:
Lord Jesus, apply the healing power of your wounds to my inmost nature.  Amen.


Prayer:

Should your path be obscured with darkness,
I pray that God's grace light up your path.
Should your heart be burdened with fear,
I pray that you reach out for His Hands and let it guide you.
Should your hands feel empty and your struggles pushing you to the ground
I pray that you find His Love and let it fill the void in your soul. Amen.

                                                                                                                                                 







What should we pray for?

We are commanded to pray with petitions, prayers, intercession
and thanksgiving and for all people.
This verse in 1 Timothy says that we do this so that we might live peaceful
and quiet lives in all aspects of godliness and holiness.
A peaceful and quiet life can only occur if we grow in godliness and holiness.
This isn’t necessarily quiet life as in nothing bad happens – but a quiet sense of the soul.
A peace that stays regardless of the chaos that ensues around you.


1 Timothy 2:1-2 “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession,
and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority,
that we might live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”

Three Approaches to Reading the Bible

There are many ways to read the Bible, but these three methods work and they will bear fruit.  If you are not reading God's Word daily right now, that can change by using one of these simple plans or approaches.  Depending on your daily schedule, you can pick a way to read the Bible that works best for you.  Enjoy your reading!

(1) PICK A BOOK
Other than reading the Bible straight through from Genesis to Revelation, choosing a book of the Bible is the easiest
way to begin.  But you can choose the books you read based on length or based on subject matter.

BOOKS BY LENGTH:
The greatest sense of accomplishment will come by starting with short books rather than long ones.  Obadiah, Philemon, and Jude each have one chapter; Ruth, several of the Minor Prophets, and some of Paul's epistles have fewer than five chapters, and so on.  It is better to start small and be encouraged by your accomplishment than to start big (like with Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Jeremiah, or Revelation) and grow discouraged.  An advantage of this approach is that it requires no other study aids.  The Bible is all you need.

BOOKS BY SUBJECT MATTER:
The Bible contains five broad catagoreis of subject matter that could be chosen based on personal interest or preference:

HISTORY:  Genesis - Esther plus Acts (Written in narrative, historical style)

WISDOM/POETRY:  Job - Song of Songs (Full of poetic imagery)

PROPHETIC/APOCALYPTIC:  Isaiah - Malachi plus Revelation (The most challenging subject matter)

GOSPELS Matthew - John (Mark is shortest; John is thematic rather than biographical)

EPIESTLES:  Romans - Jude (practical theology and instruction for the Christian life)

(2) PICK A TOPIC
There is no shortage of topics one could choose to read about in the Bible.  The two broadest being a subject or a person(s):

SUBJECTS:  Read about love, war, sex, discipline, creation, wisdom, judgment, money, angels, marriage, children, anger, and the list goes on.  Pick a subject that interests you, or about which you have quetions, and pursue it in an open-ended fashion.  Or, purpose to study a subject-a-month for a year.  Reading just 15 minutes a day for 30 days equals 7.5 hours - a mini-course in a topic related to your life.

PEOPLE:  Read about Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus' disciples (by name or as a group), Paul, Peter, John Barnabas, one of several Marys -- and more.

For a subject or character study, you will need some sort of topical study guide or a Bible concordance (either or both are found in many of today's study Bibles).  A topical study guide will group relevant passages together for you; a concordance will list every verse in which "love/loves" or "Abraham" is mentioned.  Then, it is simply a matter of reading through all of the relevant verses.

(3) PICK A PURPOSE
This approach allows you to embrace the purpose for which certain parts of the Bible were written.  For instance . . .

PSALMS - staying focused on (worshiping) God in the midst of life's trials.

PROVERBS - gaining wisdom needed to live a skillful godly life.

SONG OF SONGS - exploring the depths of marital love and romance.

ECCLESIASTES - understanding why the world can't satisfy man's deepest longings.

DANIEL - Examining evidence that God rules the world and the affairs of kings.

MATTHEW - proving to a Jewish audience that Jesus was the Messiah.

JOHN - demonstrating that Jesus was the divine Son of God.

ACTS - relating a record of the supernatural explosion of the early Church.

1 CORINTHIANS - answering a variety of questions about Christian living.

REVELATION - outlining God's victorious plan for the end of the present age.

Each of the above three approaches works well when you designate a specific amount of time to study every day.
Begin reading, mark your place at the end of the allotted time and continue reading the next day.

Make time for GOD's Word!
