Scripture Lesson
James 4:1-17
In this chapter, James peels back the pretty veneer we try to keep over our community life and looks below the surface to the problems lying beneath, to the “passions at war within us”. He exposes our quarreling, our pride, our arrogance, our two-faced relating; and instead points us to a life of submission—a race to the bottom. But how can this happen in us? In verses 9-10, we find a certain hope in humble repentance leading to an exalted life with Christ. What does it mean for us to embrace the upside-down nature of this real community life in God’s kingdom? How does this actually look lived out?

Ash Wednesday - "Follow Me" February 14, 2018
Light supper at 5:15
Worship Service at 6:00 pm
(childcare provided)
A disciple, in Scripture, is one who hears the call of Jesus Christ and lives in active response to him by repenting, believing the gospel and following Jesus. The Church is the community of disciples Jesus promised he would build. It's where Christ is publicly confessed and where we find spiritual support and nourishment as the home base for serving others in Jesus' name. The purpose of Ash Wednesday is for disciples to begin the season of Lent by stopping our normal routine and meditating on our mortality, sinfulness and need of Savior.

Last Sunday we were Inspired!

What an exciting opportunity we were given to hear these young people and how they share their lives with others. Some have been asking how to stay connected with Jake and Hannah Magness and Lauren and Branden Bender and their missionary work with Overland Missions. They would appreciate your interest and we have their personal contact information - they would love to talk to you and answer any questions. Also you can find more information at
https://www.overlandmissions.com/donate/
If you wish to support them please include their names - also if you don't participate in online giving - they have a form that you can use.
