Prayer (Feb 2012 Newsletter)

February 1, 2012

In January we had a church-wide prayer and fast.  Sadly, this has become something almost unheard of in the church of our day in America.  It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of prayer.  In Acts chapter two, the early church was born during a prayer meeting.  Then as you read through Acts you witness [...]

Impossible

December 7, 2011

         I recently watched a video of a teenage girl from Chicago who decided to do something that most would consider impossible.  But through her determination, her refusal to give up, and her passion for the project, she accomplished something more informed people would have told her she could not do. Unless [...]

Do you want to grow in your relationship with Jesus?  In John chapter 5 we read of Jesus approaching a crippled man who was lying near a pool of water that was thought to heal any sickness, if only one could get in the pool, when the water was supposedly stirred by an angel.  The [...]

Aug 11: We Need One Another

July 28, 2011

I have thought for years about what causes depression and anxiety, particularly among Christians.  I took a course called “Psychology/Theology Integration” in graduate school.  We discussed the causes of different psychiatric issues and how to solve them.  At the time there were two best selling books that suggested psychotherapy was no better at solving people’s [...]

July 11: God Bless America

July 1, 2011

I just returned from Siberia and mentioned in my returning sermon how much I had benefited from being out of this great country.  I visited the churches in Ulan-Ude and Horinsk, Siberia.  In Horinsk I felt like a time traveler back to the 1800’s, with a mix of the modern.  There were cars, trucks, and [...]

Now that is a stimulating title for a short newsletter!  I have recently been challenged about the need to help with instruction on how to share our faith. I agree that a course or a speaker could be very helpful in encouraging us to overcome our natural fears that get in the way of personal [...]

WE THE CHURCH – May 2011
