This weekend's message

 
This weekend we continued our series on Real Love and looked at what the Bible has to say about staying married. 1 Corinthians 7 teaches us that God’s plan is for marriage to last a lifetime and, when problems happen, to do
our part to work through them. These are five choices to make when you feel like giving up:


1) Keep to the code. “I give this command…not I but the Lord” vs. 10
2) Lay off the “chorizo”. “must not separate” vs. 10
3) Avoid the temptation to do something permanent - “remain unmarried”. vs. 11
4) Don’t abandon a relationship God is calling you to work on. “must not divorce” vs. 11
5) Reach out to Christ and ask for His help.

Bible Reading Challenge


Are you reading through the book of Psalms? You are if you are following our Bible Reading Challenge. The Bible is the inspired word of God that helps us to know God and follow him. Many of us own a Bible, but don’t have a regular plan for reading it. To help bring focus, we’ve put together a Bible reading plan that brings you through a chapter of the Bible each day. If you follow this day by day checklist, you’ll be taking the next step toward knowing more of God’s word. 

Check out our website to download our Bible Reading Challenge checklist.

Need a Bible?

Bibles are available for purchase at the information center for $5. If you do not have a Bible, we would love to give you a Bible for free as an encouragement to start reading God's Word. Be sure to check out our Bible Reading Challenge and other resources available online and at the info table for getting more out of your Bible reading.

Helping those in need



Would you like to help someone in need?

The Bible says, “He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done” Proverbs 19:17. The holidays are a great time to reach out to those in need. There are members of our community, and even in our own church family who can use a helping hand over Christmas. Here are a few ways that you can get involved:
1) Buy a gift card to a local supermarket and drop it off at the church office, we'll then pass it along to someone in need.
2) Make a special financial gift to the church and designate it for "members in need," we'll direct 100% of the gift to a member who could use a helping hand. 


If you would like to find out more practical ways to help, send us an email at info@newlifecommunitychurch.net

This weekend's message


This weekend we started our new series on Real Love and looked at what the Bible has to say about marriage. 1 Corinthians 7 teaches us that, for married couples, physical intimacy should happen regularly and should only be withheld mutually. These are the reasons why that we covered on Sunday:

1) Because it’s part of the deal we signed up for. vs 3 “duty”
2) Because in marriage we’re on a joint ownership plan. vs 4 “the
husband’s body does not belong to him alone”
3) Because God commands it. vs 5 “Don’t deprive each other”
4) Because when we don’t, we place our spouse in unnecessary
temptation. vs 6 “so that Satan will not tempt you”

Why I like going through books of the Bible

(Note: This is part of a larger series on the weekend messages. Click here to see the original post)

Why I like going through books of the Bible
As general rule I like going through books of the Bible during the weekend service. Over the course of a typical year, 75% of the Sundays are probably going through a book of the Bible in a structured way, the other 25% are more topical in nature (Christmas, Easter, etc)  The following are three benefits of going through books of the Bible

o   It allows us to study a passage in context – As we study a passage as part of a structured series, we have an opportunity to see that passage in light of the bigger teaching of that particular book of the Bible.  We see what comes before and after each passage as we move along week by week.

o   It promotes familiarity with a book of the Bible – If each week we jumped around and looked at one verse here, another verse there, it would harder to become familiar with the overall message and contents of a book of the Bible.

o   Opportunity for members to read along – By going through an entire book of the Bible, members have the opportunity to read ahead  They know what’s coming next and can study along to better form their own understanding of the passage. This is especially helpful in larger books, when we don’t cover ever chapter in equal detail, members can fill in the blanks by studying the “non-covered” portions of scripture on their own.

There are other good reasons for going through books of the Bible, but the above are a good start.
