Why was the early church so attractive? The people saw something in the church that people were drawn to it.

But what did the early church do? TOGETHER they devoted themselves to the Apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of the bread and prayer. They even sold what they what they had and gave it to the needy. They did life together.

May we learn from the model that we see in Acts 2.

“The Church is not the building; it is the people. It is not just the gathering; it is also the scattering.” John Wimber

February is here and we have a new series – Life in Community.

This month, we will get to see the deeper meaning of “koinonia” – a Greek word whose primary meaning is “fellowship, sharing in common, communion”. God has designed us to thrive in a “koinonia” – a community that is centered around the love of Christ.

Our scripture today points back to the importance of belonging in a community. The writer reminds us that we are not meant to journey alone. The author had used “LET US” a lot of times in these verses giving emphasis to being together in faith as the church of God.

May our hearts and minds be open to what the Lord has for us today.

LET US desire to grow deeper in our relationship with God and with others.

We are so blessed to hear God’s word today through our guest speaker, Pastor Scott Harris, all the way from Northshore Christian Church, Everett Washington.

This Sunday, we delved deeper into God’s word in the book of John where Jesus shared His last words – His prayer – for the disciples and for us. Jesus highlighted the importance of being united in Him. Our unity is a very powerful witness and evidence of God’s love.

Unity is not just about the other people; it is about us taking the initiative and desiring to follow God’s call to be in one accord. It is not only about being courageous and bold but being surrendered.

May we heed God’s call to unity today.

God grabbed Moses' attention by a burning bush that doesn't burn up.We have a lot of burning bushes around us, but do they grab your attention? Or are we too preoccupied and busy to even notice?

Is the Lord grabbing your attention today? 

“We want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention.”— Lysa TerKeurst

What is God telling you to stop doing? What is He telling you to take step to?

The story of Paul in the Road to Damascus shows us how God guides our steps and stops. Paul was living the life. Yet, God had a greater plan for Him. God was going to use Paul to proclaim about Him to the Gentiles.

Aren’t you glad, Paul said yes? He could have not believed and continued to live his life persecuting God’s people. But he didn’t. God guided his steps to fulfill His plan.

Have you surrendered your plans to God? Or are you waiting for a Damascus moment?

“God’s plan for you is better than any plans you have for yourself. So don’t be afraid of God’s will, even if it’s different from yourselves.” Greg Laurie

Happy New Year!

 As we begin the year 2025, we also begin a new series entitled Steps and Stops. We learn this month that God does not only guide our steps but also our stops.

We learn today that Joshua led the people of Israel into the promised land. As he was about to die, he challenged them in their faith. He offered them a choice- to recommit to the Lord and serve Him or serve other gods. Joshua led the way by making a bold declaration - "As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."

Rick Warren said “You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.” Joshua made a choice and he made a stand for him and his household.

May we learn from Joshua today and at the end of this video, you may also decide and say, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

If we discovered we only have 10 minutes left to say all we wanted to say, every telephone booth, every phone and all networks will be so busy calling each other just to say words of love. But why wait until the last minutes?

Today’s message is entitled Chr1stm4s Lov3. Imbedded in the title are the number 143 – a known code for “I Love You”.

Anyone and everyone can love you, but only God’s love can save.

As we listen to today’s message, may we realize the greatness of His love for all who believe.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.”

Overjoyed! This word is an adjective that describes someone who is extremely happy or pleased. The Magi’s or the wise men who went to find Jesus were already overjoyed. This feeling was only upon seeing the star that pointed to His exact location. Just imagine what they must have felt when they are already face to face with Him. They must have been
