Hey Family,

A lot of times people think they're familiar with what the Bible says, when actually that's not true at all! For example, nowhere in scripture does it say, "God helps those who help themselves." This Sunday we're starting a new series called GOD NEVER SAID THAT! In it we'll look at some familiar "words of wisdom" that are not from God at all. Scripture should guide our lives and our relationships, but if we're making choices according to certain things that God never said in the first place, we're going to go off the rails!

Hey Family,

How often do you catch yourself wondering whether somebody else's behavior shows them to be a Christian? Scripture tells us not to judge others, but we ARE asked to examine ourselves. So this week we're going to pause and take some time to determine whether we are fully devoted followers of Christ. It's important to us all, because being a true Christ-follower not only brings us peace and satisfaction, but allows us to bring joy and blessings into the world as well. If we address the things that might be tripping us up in our walk, we can go from being an insecure Christian to a faith-filled follower of Jesus. You don't want to miss this--and bring family and friends!

Hey Family,

This week we finish our series WE CAME TO BELIEVE. We've looked at every line of the Apostles' Creed, which lays out the beliefs we all share as Christians. I hope it's been a powerful reminder of the great truths that God has given us to live by.

As we finish the Apostles Creed, we come to the last word, a little word that has powerful meanings for us in our walk together with Jesus. Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we welcome Zac Martin from Trinity Grace Church in Brooklyn. We've enjoyed having him before and we look forward as he brings God's word.

Hey Family,

Maybe we don't think about it so much, but we know some day it will happen: Each one of us will die. What happens at that moment? Do we vanish like the flame of a blown-out candle? Or does our soul remain, and go on to another kind of existence?

Scripture has much to tell us about what happens after death. This week we will continue our series on what all Christians believe as we host Mark Marchak from Missions Door, one of our favorite guest speakers. We will also celebrate a baptism at Sunday's service, so I hope to see you at 10 a.m.!

Hey Family,

Over the last few weeks in our series WE CAME TO BELIEVE, we've been talking about the basic beliefs all Christians share. Last Sunday we talked about how important it is to be a part of a church family. This week we'll learn about what that means in terms of how we treat each other. Jesus taught us to forgive others. Because God forgives each of us, we are meant to show that forgiveness ourselves--even to others who have hurt us deeply.

How can we possibly begin that painful process? Please come this Sunday at 10 a.m. to hear what the Bible has to say about how to grow in this very important area of our lives.

'm looking forward to seeing you this Sunday when we continue with our series, We Came to Believe. We'll be talking about the joy of being part of a church community. We've all had times when we couldn't get to church on a Sunday, and so maybe we listened to a sermon on TV or even a podcast on the RHOW website. But God never meant for us to experience his love alone, separate from each other.

On the contrary, you probably can remember a time when being with other Christians was the only thing that kept you from collapsing under some great stress or sadness. It's that thought that we're going to explore this Sunday.
