Stepping up

I hope you enjoyed this past weekend at the New Life gathering.  I was really pumped by the message on Psalm 1.  The Bible is always encouraging us to step higher and live a "God-first" kind-of-life as a Christ-follower.  Let me encourage you this week to delight in the Lord by picking a book of the Bible and reading it through in one setting.  You might want to pick one of Paul's letters in the New Testament.  Mark's gospel would also be a good place to start. Take a few notes and see what principles of grace, beauty, or truth can be applied to your life.

Creating a God-first culture is counter culture in many ways.  We can't follow the natural tendencies of our human condition or modern culture and expect to live the blessed life God has provided for us in Christ.  We have to step up into God's grace and step out of those disobedient situations in our life that keep us from God's best.

I'm praying for you as you step up.  See you Sunday! Pastor Tom

Devotion and the Bible

This week we continue our God-First series with a message focused on devotion and the Bible.  The Bible is an incredible book impacting lives wherever it is printed, preached, or read.  The Bible contains both the principles and promises of God and encourages us to pursue his presence.  Join us Sunday as we take a look at what it means to be devoted to God by pursuing the principles and promises contained in the Bible.
See you Sunday @ the ARC 10:15 AM.
