Hey NewSong! Join us Sunday morning, October 16, as we kick off a new teaching series called "Balance." This series leads us to Paul's first letter to the believers in Thessalonica, which was written to encourage and affirm the young church as they embraced the Gospel in their lives - and to help them navigate the the path of following Jesus.

This series asks the big question: "How do you find balance between the life you're living and the life the God has for you?" Come discover the answers with us over the next few weeks as we read 1 Thessalonians.
 
 

Last week, we continued our teaching series "Revealed." This series examines the places, people, and rituals that foreshadowed the coming of Jesus, the Messiah. Doug Stetson (deacon/teacher) examined the role and purpose of the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament. He reminded us that the Ark not only was the place where God's presence rested, it also contained elements that demonstrated God's provision (manna), God's power and authority (Aaron's staff) and God's will and command (tablets of Law).


Doug then pointed us to Jesus - that through him, God's presence dwells with us, God's provision is made available to us, his power and authority reside with us, and his Law is written on our hearts.  

We've been connecting this teaching series with our Lent devotional -- keep an eye on this blog to follow our daily Lent readings and prayers.

Music from Sunday was: "Eternal One" (Robbie Seay), "God Be Merciful to Me" (Jars of Clay), "Holy" (Chris O'Brien), and "He Lives in Me" (Chris O'Brien).

Loving the snow today and being thankful that (so far) we haven't had any snowed-out weekends. Hope everyone stays warm and safe this week as the storm continues through.

Sunday our teaching series continued as we looked at Nehemiah ch.5 with a message on properly handling the resources that God has given to us. The chapter begins with the walls of Jerusalem continuing to rise - a great achievement - but inside the walls, there is suffering and neglect of the community by the leaders. Nehemiah rebukes the leaders (including himself) for allowing unrighteousness to slip into their lives and leadership. He then establishes a process of repentance and restoration for the community and its leaders.
