never give up

This weekend concludes our five week journey to fail proof our marriages.  Some of the people who have taken part in this series are married.  Some are not.  It is evident through the comments and conversations that many lives and many relationships have been strengthened or even saved.  Our prayer is that God would give us the ability to make great choices so we will see success in all our relationships.

Seek God.  Fight Fair.  Have Fun.  Stay Pure.  Never Give Up.  Each part is crucial to the success we want.  But above all we must seek God.  Seek God beginning by yourself.  Then we are to seek God with our spouse.  Make God your number one and above everything else.  That is no easy task.

God wants our marriages and our relationships to flourish.  The last piece of this says to NEVER GIVE UP.  Our culture says when it is too hard give up.  We learn that when you can't get your needs met give up.  But God says something very different.  God says never give up.  We make that vow the day we get married ... from this day forward ... till death do us part ... not easy, but it is right.  I pray that this weekend God will bring people our way who will see God in fresh ways.  I pray that God will heal our lives and heal our relationships.

Next week we begin our EASTER series which is in partnership with the new series running Sunday evenings on the History Channel.  It is called THE BIBLE, and in the following three weeks we will take a journey through the Bible to hear stories, to learn of courage and to lean on God with great faith.

Invite people to join us for worship on EASTER SUNDAY, March 31st at 10:10am.  People are more apt to say YES to our invitation than ever.  Who are you going to invite to church?  Have a great end of the week, and we look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we worship Jesus and learn to never give up!

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...
