This Sunday we continue our  two part series, "Impact!" (When a Christian sins).   This week we are looking at sin's impact on others.  Just as a rock dropped into a pond causes ripples that impact the whole pond, sin has a drastic effect on me and those around me.  12 And he said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me." Jonah 1:12 (NKJV)  Jonah rebelled against God and those around him paid an awful price.  How does your sin impact your family, friends and neighbors.  We will see Sunday that sin 1.  Disrupts Lives 2.  Discredits God 3.  Delays the gospel Hope you can join us Sunday! New Clothes 4 Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes." Zechariah 3:4 (NKJV)  This Sunday night we will be looking at a powerful image of salvation in the book of Zechariah.  I will be preaching this message in conjunction with our Communion service.  Hope you can join us this Sunday night at 6 PM.

This Sunday we begin a two part series, "Impact!" (when a Christian sins).   This week we are looking at sin's impact on me and next week we will be looking at sin's impact on others.  Just as a rock dropped into a pond causes ripples that impact the whole pond, sin has a drastic effect on me and those around me.  For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Psalm 51:3 David cried out to God in psalm 51, realizing the far reaching impact of his sin.  Do you understand the effect sin has on your life?  Hope you will join us this Sunday. FOUR HABITS WORTH HAVING 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.                              2 Peter 3:18 Jeff will  be preaching Sunday night about four habits we all need to develop in our walk with the Lord.

This Sunday Jeff will be preaching from John 13 on a "Portrait of a Servant"  using Jesus Christ as his model.   This Sunday is Servant Appreciation Sunday and we will be publicly thanking all of our volunteers for the countless hours that they invest in the Lord's work here at Faith.  Have you ever bought a new car and wondered how far you could drive after the gas pump symbol shows up on your dash?  Sometimes in our spiritual life we try to drive too far on too little gas and the results are disastrous.  Gideon had to learn directly from the Lord the importance of keeping your gas tank full.  Join us this Sunday night at 6 PM in the worship center as we examine how Gideon refilled his spiritual fuel tanks.  We will be spending some time in Judges 6, hope you can join us.
