Christ Church Sunday Service Preview 1/05/20

by | January 3, 2020 | Uncategorized

Hi Friends,

I missed you all last week and I’m really looking forward to being back with you this Sunday.  We are going to be spending some time praising God for all He did in 2019 and looking forward together in 2020.  I’ll speaking on a topic that might sound odd at first, but is something the Bible holds out as one of the most transformational actions we can take.  This year our theme is GROW and I truly believe God has something to say to you this Sunday about how to embrace GROWTH in your life for His glory.
Looking forward to being with you on the best day of the week!

Call to Worship

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.  Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! (Psa 107:1-8 ESV)

Equip Class

There are questions that we can have, or that can be asked of us, that can set our mind into all kinds of disarray.  Questions like, how could a loving God allow so much suffering, or isn’t Christianity homophobic and hasn’t science disproven Christianity?  But what if these hard questions for the Christian faith were all actually sign posts leading the way into a deeper experience of faith? Come out to this class as we seek to explore hard questions and see how they lead us to Christ. The class will run from 8:45am-9:30am on Sunday mornings and child care will be provided.  You can sign up at bit.ly/ccspequip

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
