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.

This Sunday I will be preaching from these verses: 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. Psalm 30:11-12 (NKJV) The sermon title is "Dancing at the Funeral Home"  In Psalm 30 God moves His servant David from the depths of despair to joy so great he had to dance.  What must transpire to see this marvelous transformation?  Join us this Sunday morning as we seek to learn from the Bible how to cope with the sorrows of our lives. Harry Newman is the teacher of our largest adult Sunday School class, he has been teaching the Bible for over 30 years.  Harry is a popular lay speaker at our church and this Sunday night he will be taking us on an Adventure in Scripture.  He will begin in the book of James and then introduce us to several major Bible characters who point us to the basics of living in a closer walk with God.  Hope you will join us this Sunday night at 6 PM in the worship center.

This Sunday morning we continue in our series "Home".  Throughout this series we have been looking at the church as a place where we grow our faith.  We have talked about many different facets of the church's input into the growth process.  This week we are looking at the subject, "A Place Where I Experience Life".  It is often through our life experiences that our faith does much of its growing.  The church can be a valuable ally in helping us grow through these experiences.  Have you ever gone through a difficult time and wondered how people who didn't have a church family made it?  Join us this Sunday as we discuss the church our home as a place where we experience life together. 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."               1 Corinthians 11:23-24 (NKJV)  Jeff will be bringing a message from this passage found in the Bible and leading us in communion.
