First Friday This Week!

Hey peeps! Don't forget that this Friday is our back to school lock in, appropriately named, First Friday. You'll want to make sure you invite everyone in sight for this event. There is nothing like a back to school party to show people you mean business. Cost is $20 per student. We'll meet at The Ridge for a little get to know you shindig then magically transport to American Indoor Sports Facility for an all night bash with sports, inflatables, video games, movies, prizes and memories to last a lifetime. See you all there!

Prayer life

We pray because we rely on God. We pray because he answers prayer. We pray because we have work to do. We pray because he is the one who will accomplish that work. We pray to increase our faith. We pray to further rely on the Spirit. We pray to model the life of Christ. We pray to the Father. We pray for others who are in need. We pray for those who have not come to faith. We pray for missionaries. We pray for pastors and church leaders. We pray for families. We pray for the church worldwide. We pray for the persecuted. We pray for those who lack justice. We pray for our needs. We pray to remind our souls that God is our portion and strength. We pray for the orphan and widow. We pray for our daily bread. We pray to receive forgiveness in order that we might forgive. We pray because Christ commanded us to pray. We pray because we love God. 

Verse of the Day

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

Matthew 24:42-44

The Gathering Tonight

We have special Gathering time tonight from 6.30-8.15PM. Tonight's leader is our very own Vince Dang. Bring boardgames and Bibles. Friends are a plus too.

We'll wrap up our all too brief study of Ephesians tonight. Some questions to ponder: have you been changed by the Gospel? Do you desire to give God glory by how you live and act? Are there sins that you continue to cling to?

Verse of the Day

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

Faith

Heb 11:1-2, 8-12
Brothers and sisters:
Faith is the realization of what is hoped for
and evidence of things not seen.
Because of it the ancients were well attested.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place
that he was to receive as an inheritance;
he went out, not knowing where he was to go.
By faith he sojourned in the promised land as in a foreign country,
dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs of the same promise;
for he was looking forward to the city with foundations,
whose architect and maker is God.
By faith he received power to generate,
even though he was past the normal age
and Sarah herself was steril;
for he thought that the one who had made the promise was
trustworthy.
So it was that there came forth from one man,
himself as good as dead,
descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky
and as countless as the sands on the seashore.
