Single-minded faith

This Sunday at New Life we are focusing on "Single-Minded Faith".  James 1:6-8 reads, "But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."

God wants us to "fix our eyes on Jesus" (Hebrews 12:2) and live a single-minded life of faith.  Everyone experiences doubt from time to time and it does have a negative impact on our relationship with the Lord.  The key to living with joy, hope, and faith, is becoming single-minded towards God.  Life will always present us with questions; and many will be left unanswered.  But, we can always be sure about God's love for us and God's plan.  Join us Sunday as we learn how to live with single-minded faith.

This Sunday we meet at the ARC Gymnasium at 9 AM.  Next week is back to normal.  Blessings to you and bring a friend.  Pastor Tom

Spring break and family fun

Just got back from a great spring break trip.  Hope you had fun with your family.  One thing I learned is that experiencing new places together as a family can be an exciting adventure.  I also learned that a five year old can do anything you tell him he can do.  After a few days on the bunny slope, I took Micah all the way to the top and he made it all the way down the mountain.  He never looked back, now he is a professional.
