SUNDAY WORSHIP
May 24 @ 10:00a
Kingdom Influence (Luke 4:38-44)
We’ve seen that Jesus’ authority came from the power of the Spirit and His preaching the Word God. This Sunday we will see that authority play out in the real world – from those close to Him to the whole world. The Good News of Jesus’ love and salvation is for all people. As Christians we ought we be doing everything we can to see God’s “kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.”

SUNDAY WORSHIP
May 17 @ 10:00a
The Authority of Jesus (Luke 4:31-37)
Jesus had been rejected in His hometown because they were too familiar with Him and couldn’t see Him as Savior. But that was not the case in a neighboring community. There He was accepted and welcomed. The result was that Jesus did many miracles. His authority came from His preaching of the Word of God. It is through God’s Word that we have power to make a difference in this world.

Go-N-Sow

We are going into neighborhoods around Southeast with the Gospel of John and church info. You can be involved in one of three ways. 1) Front Person. Some of us have the ability to strike up a conversation with anyone and we need you to be the person carry the conversation. 2) Record keeper. Some people don’t want to carry the conversation but are happy to take notes on how the conversation went so we know how to follow up. 3) Prayer/driver. The third person on the team drives the vehicle and prays when the other two are having conversations. Talk to Gary Young or me if you’d like to join a team.

SUNDAY WORSHIP
May 10 @ 10:00a
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth (Luke 4:14-30)
The people of Nazareth had known Jesus since He was a baby. They had seen Him grow up. They knew He was an upstanding man. Many of them called Him friend and neighbor. They knew Him. And that was the problem, they knew Him and therefore they couldn’t see or know Him as the Christ. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people, especially in the church, that know about Jesus. They know the stories. They like what He had to say. They follow His moral teaching. But they don’t see or know Him as the Christ (Savior).

SUNDAY WORSHIP
May 3 @ 10:00a
Maintaining the Ministry (Acts 6:1-7)
This week we are going to take a break from our studies from the Gospel According to Luke and focus on another letter written by Luke: Acts. As the early church developed, Luke recorded an issue that arose among the believers. It was an issue so big that it threated the life of the church. The Apostles handled the situation in a wise way. Instead of fixing the problem themselves, they turned it over to some men in the church which allowed them to grow in their faith while allowing the Apostles to continue the work that God had for them.
