Welcome to our Sunday morning service. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is preaching on Luke 5:-27-39, “Jesus – Friend of Sinners & Unsettling Initiator.” We are going to see today how Jesus truly did “not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matthew 9:13). And as He walked among men He brought change that was not always welcome. We will see how this tension between the old and the new has continued throughout church history as new work has always required new methods, expressions, and structures. Are you willing to let Jesus change you? Are we, His Church, willing to let Jesus change us? We are thankful you have joined us and we know you will be blessed by this message, encouraged in your walk with the Lord, and ministered to by the Holy Spirit.

Today is Communion Sunday. We encourage you to prepare communion elements (bread or crackers and some juice) and join us in communion at the end of the sermon.

Welcome to our Sunday morning worship service. Today is a special day in the life of The Oaks Community Church – the first sermon by our new Pastor of Evangelism, José Doniz. He was scheduled to preach this sermon February 9, but tested positive for COVID three hours before the service! So today is the second sermon on the second in the series of 6 weeks focusing on REAWAKENING in every area of our lives, as we join with tens of thousands of Christian and Missionary Alliance members all over the United States in our 40 Days of Prayer focus. The focus this week is Reawakening to the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. Pastor José’s sermon is titled “Reawakening to the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.” We are going to learn how we can (and must) trust God for our lives – how we must let go of the controls and "float," and let God have control. This is a hard thing for all of us to do, but Pastor José, through the Scripture and through his own experience, is going to help us see this truth.

You will be greatly blessed, greatly encouraged, and greatly challenged in your walk with the Lord and your prayer life as you watch this sermon. Join with us now as we all pray for spiritual awakening. Come Holy Spirit.

Good morning, and welcome to The Oaks Community Church Sunday morning worship service. We are so glad you could join us. This morning we are resuming our study of Luke, “Following Jesus The Perfect Man: Lessons for Disciples of Jesus From the Gospel of Luke.” This morning Pastor Gary Barber’s sermon is titled “Compassion Outweighs Protocol,” from Luke 5:12-26. When Jesus was on earth He was fully God and fully Man. He was the perfect model, and the perfect example for us in how we are to conduct our lives and relationships. We are going to learn much today from seeing how Jesus forgave and healed the paralyzed man.

Welcome to our Sunday morning service.
