The day started great. A celebration where the people who were gathered in Jerusalem heard that Jesus was on His way into the city and they came out in droves and lined the streets with their jackets and with Palm branches. They had heard the news that He had raised Lazarus from the dead.

Welcome to One Service Sunday!

Lee and I have been married for 36 years and we have 3 children and 3 grand babies out of the oven and one coming in June and another this next year by way of adoption. I know what a functional and dysfunctional family looks like as our family is all that and then some. Without Jesus everything is dysfunctional and with Him and His help we learn to become functional as God intended. We are all a work in progress. Today it makes no difference if you are single or married, have kids or don’t have kids. We all fit into at least one category and the apostle Paul speaks to them all. We are all God’s kids.

Wes Bentley, a former Marine, first traveled to Africa in 1996. He delivered basic provisions, and most importantly, hope to predominantly Christian people in South Sudan, who were suffering at the hands of Islamic jihadists.

Prior to Wes’ work in Africa, he served as a missionary in Russia before realizing a greater need in South Sudan. Wes founded Far Reaching Ministries (FRM) in 1998.

To change the course of the nation, he began a Bible school for the South Sudan army chaplains. Since then, ten classes have graduated; over 400 chaplains deployed throughout South Sudan.

Currently, FRM is ministering in seven of the ten most dangerous Muslim countries in the world. In South Sudan, we have had 35 staff members killed—22 men in the last 2 years alone.

Shipping Day (guaranteed by Christmas Eve), Super Saturday (the last Saturday before Christmas), Gift Card Exchange Day, (December 26), A Story of Three Trees…

Let me begin by asking you a question. How many of you have a Christmas tree in your home this Christmas? The Bible talks a lot about trees, but three trees in particular…

This week's message is from Pastor Antoyne Holyde from Calvary Chapel Shoreline North London.
