What is your god?

I am preparing for Sundays message. Reading 1 Kings 18 and the question keeps crossing my mind is what is my god. A pastor in Seattle asks the same question and this is what he comes up with...

What might it be for you? A car, a job, Kids, a spouse or relationship that is out of balance. What has taken a higher place than the Lord your GOD? Come Sunday and lets talk more about this.

Elijah Series Plan...

I wanted to give you the details of this series because I think this series could be HUGE in your life.

Read 1 Kings 17- 2 Kings 2

Wk 1- The Making- The journey you are on will not be easy. Only through our pain can God truly use us to touch those around us. Who is God making you to be?

Wk 2- Battle Royal - Who will you serve? God is going to set some people free this week.

Wk 3- Power of prayer- What are you praying for? Bring your needs to the Lord and he will hear you!

Wk 4- Depression- Elijah dealt with it, David dealt with it and you and I deal with it so what can we learn from Elijah's story?

Marraige Q&A...

What would you ask a professional about marriage? If nothing were of limits. If things were good, bad or ugly what might help you refocus?

Marriage was meant to be the most powerful relationship we have on earth. It is a partnership between two who are completely committed to a common life's goal. Or at least in its perfect state it should be. Our culture gives us different definitions and understandings of marriage. So it is important as a church and community to talk about how to Find "The ONE", Strengthen the Bond and Live on mission with one another.

"The Vow" Starts Sunday. I invited a professional to come and talk with us about his experience on the Subject. (You are not going to want to miss it.) At the end of our time together He is going to answer questions you might have. Then we will have him at our Valentine banquet and I'll share the next two weeks in our series.

Ask anything? Something about sex? Maybe about being empty nesters? What happens when the "LOVE" Fades? How do you fix things when the other person isn't interested?  How do I confront my mate about my suspicion of cheating? Maybe you want to ask about starting over again? Or about healing from an abusive or hurtful relationship?

The Goal is to deal with whatever is on your mind. Here is how this is done... You can email, facebook, Leave a comment, or send a text starting now through the end of service to 612.293.6756. We will expand on the subjects and themes you bring up over the next three weeks, via, Sunday Morning and here on the blog.

Whats on your mind about marriage?

Christmas Sunday...

Don't miss our final week of the "IT came to Pass" series. We will share the Christmas Story in our candle light service. Invite friends and family to this fantastic morning!

When you are going through "IT"... the season you are in is not necessarily what you planned. God wants to show you he is in the midst of "IT" and will help you through.

Friends...

How many close relationships do you have?

I asked my Father n' law and Elizabeth this question after reading this article in "Wired" magazine. And the conversation was very interesting as we talked about what a friend is, what a close friend is and how many we feel we have. I have, as of this afternoon, on twitter Following: 441 Followers: 477, Facebook 796 but how many "bosom buddies" do I have? In the wired article they found the average person had 110 Facebook Friends and by looking at the people in their photos that the average person had 6.6 close intimate friends. I just read in this article that now people have closer to two intimate friends.

I am really curious, How many friends do you have? Bosom Buddy, Pale, BFF or whatever you call your peep. How many are you really "Tight" with?

Threads...

I just got off the phone with Karen Stone, she used to be a professional seamstress. We were planning our next series. That is right, I needed a seamstress to help me with what we have planned. Your not going to want to miss it!
