No Fear: Ordinary people can now hold a conversation with God

Luke 2

Luke 2:52 ~ And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."

Nearly every time an angel appears in the Bible, his first words are, “Don’t be afraid!” Little wonder. When the supernatural makes contact with planet Earth, the human observers usually end up flat on their faces in fear.

But Luke tells of God appearing in a form that does not frighten...

Should we ask for a sign to prove God’s will?

Genesis 24:14 ~ Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

Ready to lose weight?

   

The Biggest Loser is looking for teenagers for

the weight loss opportunity of a LIFETIME!

 

I got this email from the Biggest Loser TV show earlier & I thought I'd share. I know a lot of people struggle with weight (me included) so it's great that there are programs out there to help! I watch the show all the time & it's encouraging to watch people transform, not only physically & mentally, but many of them spiritually! Here's the email: 

  

"We are looking for amazing teenagers who are ready to start living a healthier lifestyle and are willing to put in the hard work and dedication it will take to get there!

If you have at least 60 lbs to lose and are between the ages of 13 and 17, we strongly encourage you to apply!

Pastor Crockett's trip to Haiti

Pastor Crockett returned from Haiti a couple of last week & he came back with stories of victory & amazement from the people there who love God! It was a blessing to hear about people walking miles & hours to hear the message that Pastor Crockett would be delivering! The people there may not have the amenities that we are used to in the US, but they have something that we should all strive to have, especially in the body of Christ: unparalleled determination! More to come on his trip!

My new favorite song!

I heard this song in church on Saturday afternoon. I'd never heard it before (I simply don't listen to the radio) & because the praise team sung it so amazingly, I ABSOLUTELY HAD to find it! Thanks to my big sis, I found it on iTunes, downloaded it then played it over & over! I decided to try to find it on YouTube to share with my family... so here you are! Enjoy... it's one of those songs you can listen to on those days when you seem to think you just can't make it through another minute... suddenly, you begin to think back on all the other times you felt the same way (y'all know every heartache we go through seems to be completely unbearable) & you realize that you made it because God brought you out of whatever that situation was! God is still able & He will continue to keep "Pullin' Me (& you) Through"! Hallelujah!

Family & Friends Day 2012

Good Friday & Easter Sunday

In our April newsletter, we discussed Good Friday & Easter Sunday. I promised to bring you information on the origins of Easter, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ & what the Lord's Supper means for Christians. As a little nugget, I'm also posting about the day Jesus was crucified. Well, here goes! In case you missed the newsletter, please click here to read it first!

Question: "What is the importance of the Lord's supper/Christian Communion?"

Answer: A study of the Lord’s Supper is a soul-stirring experience because of the depth of meaning it contains. It was during the age-old celebration of the Passover on the eve of His death that Jesus instituted a significant new fellowship meal that we observe to this day. It is an integral part of Christian worship. It causes us to remember our Lord’s death and resurrection and to look for His glorious return in the future.

The Passover was the most sacred feast of the Jewish religious year. It commemorated the final plague on Egypt when the firstborn of the Egyptians died and the Israelites were spared because of the blood of a lamb that was sprinkled on their doorposts. The lamb was then roasted and eaten with unleavened bread. God’s command was that throughout the generations to come the feast would be celebrated. The story is recorded in Exodus 12.

During the Last Supper—a Passover celebration—Jesus took a loaf of bread and gave thanks to God. As He broke it and gave it to His disciples, He said, “’This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you’” (Luke 22:19-21). He concluded the feast by singing a hymn (Matthew 26:30), and they went out into the night to the Mount of Olives. It was there that Jesus was betrayed, as predicted, by Judas. The following day He was crucified.

Ladies' Fellowship Tonight!

Our Ladies' Fellowship is tonight, Friday, March 23 @ 7pm!

Lo-Debar ~ It's a place of desolation, despair, heartache, pain, deprivation, hopelessness & devastation. It's uninhabited, barren, dismal, dreary, forsaken, abandoned & lifeless!

Now ladies, we always have a lot going on - family, work & all the other many obligations. Besides that, we sometimes add unnecessary burdens on ourselves: “I need to lose weight”, “I don’t think I’m good enough”, etc. We tend to lose sight of what’s important in life & sometimes find ourselves in a place of despair, hopelessness, confusion. Well, that’s not what God wants! Take a journey with us & find your way out!

• Background Study: 1 Samuel 18-20, 2 Samuel 4:4 (Mephibosheth)
• Fellowship Study: 2 Samuel 9 (Sought, Seek, Spoke, Spared)
• Meditation: God is Able - Come out!
• Jehovah Rophe ~ Healer

Men's Fellowship Tonight!

Our Men's Fellowship is tonight, Friday, March 16 @ 7pm!

Courage ~ The confidence to act in accordance with one's beliefs, especially in spite of criticism. The quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc. without fear. Bravery!

It is plain that there is no separate essence called courage, no cup or cell in the brain, no vessel in the heart containing drops or atoms that make or give this virtue; but it is the right or healthy state of every man, when he is free to do that which is constitutional to him to do.

"Courage" from Society and Solitude (1870), Ralph Waldo Emerson
