Hello Church Family,
"The Lord is my strength and my shield, I trusted in Him and I am helped" Psalm 28:7
This week we witnessed the inauguration of Joe Biden. Biden was calling for unity, he said "There's nothing we can't do if we do it together" Kamala Harris said "we not only see what has been, but we see what can be." How could those words relate to us as a church family. What is Jesus's take on Politics? click on link to watch part 1 of a 3 part series by Andy Stanley (son of Charles Stanley. https://youtu.be/rGG4emresp4 Jesus prayed for us before he was arrested in John 17:23b "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me" Let us pray for unity in our church. In the video Andy prayed "Heavenly Father, make us one so we can influence many." Let us be strong in Christ together and love one another as Jesus has loved us. Jehovah, Mighty in Battle
"Who is the King of glory****Jehovah mighty in battle" Psalm 24:8 (ASV) NO LIFE can be lived for God in these difficult days without terrific conflict. Foes within and foes without assail each saint continuously. Principalities and powers are arrayed against the child of God who seeks to serve his Master. We have no might with which to meet "this great host that cometh out against us," but Jehovah Mighty in battle, is our Saviour, our Intercessor, our Elder Brother, our ever-present Friend. "Sure, I must fight if I would win; increase my courage, Lord." Amen. (Taken from "Every Day with Jesus Daily Devotional)

Small Group Bible Study
Beginning February 14th
God has a unique purpose for your life, have you discovered it yet?
click on link to watch this promo video https://youtu.be/xBqGPMJYsds
The S.H.A.P.E. Study guide is now available for purchase at $15
please call the church to arrange to get your copy.
This study "is designed specifically to take you to that next level of purpose -- to reveal how God has designed you, and help see how that fits the intention for which you were created."
Throughout these six weeks, your small group will watch/listen to the S.H.A.P.E. video by Erik Rees as he unpacks for you the five elements of God's blueprints for creating you. Each session includes tools that help bring clarity to your future goals and show you how to have the most fulfilling life possible -- a life lived for God's purposes, by God's design. You will learn what is your God-given S.H.A.P.E. based on your Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences.
This is no ordinary study! Just look at what Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Christ, had to say about the S.H.A.P.E. Small Group Study: "God made you to make a difference—and this study will help you unlock your special contribution. Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure of personal discovery." "Ever wondered who am I?" Ever thought, "What is the purpose of my life?" I have great news: the mystery is over. Erik Rees gives you the tools to answer the questions so you can live the life you were created to live. Embrace S.H.A.P.E. with everything you have so you can discover not only how special you are but your specific purpose for life." Dr. Gary Smalley, Author of I Promise "It is sad to go through life with God-given powers and never know what they are, or how to use them. S.H.A.P.E. is the key to unlocking and unleashing these powers with purpose." Steve Arterburn, Founder and Chairman of New Life Ministries This study is for everyone, as we begin this new year as a church let us focus on what God wants each one of us to do. Join a small group!
