Happy Father’s Day!

A quote from this past Sunday’s service

Brian Simmons, lead translator of The Passion Translation, will be sharing with us tonight via Skype!! We will meet in the youth wing at 7 p.m. About Brian: After a dramatic conversion to Christ in 1971, Brian answered a calling from God to leave everything behind, become a missionary, and bring the gospel to unreached tribes. Taking their family of three children to the jungles of Central America, he and his wife pioneered and shepherded church plants among the Kuna people group for many years. While serving as missionaries Brian witnessed firsthand God’s powerful gospel-movement among the nations through spiritual revival. As a linguist, Brian also served as a co-translator for the Kuna New Testament, providing this unreached people group with a copy of God’s Word for the first time. After their ministry overseas, Brian and Candice returned to North America, where Brian began to passionately work toward helping people encounter the risen Christ and His story of redemption. Brian and Candice birthed numerous ministries, including a dynamic church in Connecticut. They also established Stairway Ministries under which they travel full-time as Bible teachers in service of local churches throughout the world with the gospel.

Changing seems easy, but in reality, it's easier said than done. We all have ways we want to grow and improve, but there’s often a seemingly infinite gap between our intentions and our actions. In a new series beginning this week, Pastor Anton Luse provides Biblical advice and practical tools to help us create the right changes in our lives and to ensure our progress sticks.

Come celebrate with us on Easter Sunday at 10 a.m.! - Spirit of Christ Church

We are excited to invite you to special services Friday, April 19 and Saturday, April 20 at 7:00 p.m. each evening. Brian Starley with Global Awakening will be our guest minister. He is an imparter, equipper and teacher with the deepest conviction to make room for the presence of God, and to honor what He's doing above all else. Also during each evening service the children will be exploring the WOW of the days leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection. We will be using science to explore God's amazing truths.

Don't say "It was just a dream."!!! There's a reason that sentence is not found in the Bible. Daniel fasted and prayed for 21 days to receive the interpretation of "a vision of the night". There is a battle for you to not understand the dreams God wants to give you! Here are 4 ways we can invest in having the power of the right interpretation with our own dreams (taken from last Sunday's message): 1) Write it down 2) Draw it out (this is especially powerful for right brain creatives) 3) Practice interpreting Jesus' parables or the dreams Joseph interprets and see if you can get the same interpretation they do 4) Ask God, and you'll get the right interpretation either now or later This Sunday is Palm Sunday -- Come join us for part 2 of our series on Dreams and Visions!!

On Sunday, March 31 at 10 a.m. we will have Don and Debi Gatlyn as our guest ministers. Don and Debi are involved in writing worship songs, ministering in churches, leading worship nights, and producing children's art projects.

PAIN & FAITH One of the most painful experiences for a Christian is when someone we love seems to be let down by the God we trust. Watch Pastor Anton share this Sunday how we can exchange disappointment for trust -- and how pain can actually cause faith to grow.

We have been focusing on testimonies and the power of sharing them with others. One of our bulletin boards have become a testimony board. When you are in the building be sure to read some of the exciting testimonies that is posted there. One testimony is.... "God healed my cancer; delivered my son from drugs; and spoke to someone's heart to help me pay all my debt off." What has God been doing in your life? Share your testimony of His power and be an encouragement to others.
