Psalm 54

Reflect with us the past year, 2015. We will base our reflection on Psalm 143:1-6.

Our children performed a play called "Just a Little Christmas" to help us usher in this Christmas week.

This week in our series celebrating the message of Christmas, we will look at the implications of God's preparing the way for the messiah. Read with us in Luke 1:26-38.

Celebrate with us the message of Christmas over the next few weeks. Today we will look at the prophecy of Isaiah in chapter 9:1-7 and the message of Hope, Freedom and a new beginning that was fulfilled in Christ.

Last week we discussed the Christian perspective of continual thanksgiving - this week we will examine teh application of thanksgiving in our lives. We will be reading Colossians 3:15-17.

Thanksgiving in America is a day - it is coming this Thursday; but for Christians it is a daily thing. Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 4:13-18 how our posture of giving thanks is a foundation that drives the church. Join us in praising and giving thanks to God for all that he is and all that he does for us each day.

As we enter into the season of Thanksgiving, let us be reminded of the woderful gift of forgiveness, in which we should always be thankful. Read through Hebrews 10:11-18 with us and learn what God has done through Jesus Christ.

As our nation remembers its veterans this week, it would be appropriate to examine the idea of service and be reminded of God's ability to equip those who serve. Read Joshua 1:1-11 with us as we explore the courage we can get from God.

Life's not fair - we have all probably heard that. Let's examine the idea that in God's Kingdom of Heaven our idea of logic doesn't apply - let's be grateful for that. We will look at Matthew 20:1-16 and the parable of the Workers in the Vineyard this week.
