Connection Church Rincon

This week Pastor Jamie, of Connection Church Oconee, took us through week 3 of our Stand Firm series through 1 Peter.

In week 2 of our Stand Firm series, Pastor Russ (Equipping Director at Connection Church Statesboro), gave us some actions to reflect on in our own personal life.

1. We MUST pursue Spiritual Growth
2. We MUST live a live in reverence to God
3. We MUST love our brothers and sisters in Christ

Join us this week as we start our new series, Stand Firm: A Study Through 1 Peter! To start this series Pastor Jordan, Connection Church Statesboro Equipping Pastor, took us through the first 12 verses teaching on Jesus Christ being our living hope.

This week Shannon Ramsey, Families 4 Families Director, came and spoke of the importance of linking arms with our ministry partner. One verse Shannon left us with is James 1:27, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world".

In week 11 of our series, The Upside Down, Pastor Michael reminds up the importance of being ON GUARD. We need to have experience with what's genuine to recognize something that is counterfeit. Listen in to hear the 3 ways to identify a wolf among the sheep.

In week 10 of our series through Matthew: The Upside Down, Pastor Michael teaches on the broad road vs the narrow path. This left us with sobering realities that Gospel message is for EVERYONE, because not everyone in church is in Christ.

How much MORE will your Father in heaven give GOOD THINGS to those who ask Him? (Matt. 7:11b)

In week 9 our our Matthew series, The Upside Down, Pastor Micheal teaches on how we're to come to the Lord in prayer.

1. Be Persistent
2. Be Expectant
3. Be Intimate

This week we jumped back into our series through Matthew called, The Upside Down. Pastor Eric (Next Gen Pastor), broke down a commonly used scripture(Matt 7:3) and explained how its normally used out of context! This scripture is meant for a reflection of self awareness and Pastor Eric gives us 8 ways to grow in that spiritual self-awareness. So listen in and we will see you guys next week!

HE IS RISEN! Pastor Michael leaves us with with a few thoughts:

• GOD'S love for us is relentless
• GOD loves you despite your sin
• GOD pursues you in your sin
• GOD'S offer is overwhelming grace
