March 29th | When Our Brook Dries Up
Dear Church Family,Today we will be talking about a very important and sensitive subject – What to do when your financial brook is drying up. I know, I know – we don’t like to admit we are having financial struggles, especially men, but many are.
Let’s lay the cards on the table – housing values will go up and down, bank accounts will rise and fall and financial conditions will continue to ebb and flow. We can’t build our lives and trust in them. We have to place our hope in someone who is much more stable then the stock market. So, if your pocket book is parched due to your financial brook drying up then this message is for you.
Two more things: Next Sunday we are having a very special time of prayer and communion for those who are vocationally, financially or physically in need of healing! Get everyone you know who has lost a job, in need of a job or in financial disarray at the services next week. In addition, anyone who is physically, emotionally or relationally sick will be prayed for as well.
Easter Sunday – At Uptown – Invite friends – start praying with us every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Cranes Roost. Take the cards printed for you and invite, pray and invite some more folks.
You are loved Church!
Pastor Todd
March 22nd | The Future of America
Dear Church Family,As Americans we are accustomed to seeing our beloved America center stage as a world power. It is almost unimaginable that America could not be a major world scene player during the End Times. How could such a powerful, influential nation be over looked in the scriptures? We can understand why Australia, or Canada or even Brazil are not mentioned, but America? Today we will examine the evidence (or lack there of) and offer up with some reasons for America’s absence in the Bible.
Tomorrow night we will be having our Biggest Winner Season Finale at 6:30 p.m. Plan now to attend, even if you had “dropped out” of the challenge or if you were never enrolled in the 10-week challenge. Let us encourage one another with our presence. The testimonies will be powerful and the prize giveaways are UNBELIEVABLE! Bring your favorite healthy dish to share! We’ll see you Monday evening! And let’s not forget to ask God to bless America!
Love,
Pastor Todd
March 15th | Follow the Leader
Dear Church Family,This morning we will be talking about Satan’s Superman – the Antichrist. The man whom Satan will use to attempt to rule the world and cause humanity to worship him.
If I have my theology correct (and I believe I do) those people who have truly trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior will be raptured or taken out of this world prior to this man making his mark on humanity. The Antichrist will be like a man we’ve never known before. He will unite humanity, making a one world government, one world economy and a one world religion. This bad boy of the Bible will be taken down by the strength of the Savior. Stay tuned and make sure you’re on the winning side!
Love,
Pastor Todd
P.S. Make sure you are inviting your friends now for the Easter Service at Uptown!
March 8th | Unveiling Islam
Dear Church Family,
Currently there are over 1.5 billion people worldwide who are Muslims. Islam is the second largest (second only to Christianity) and the fastest growing religion in the world. Over 1/5 of the worlds population is Muslim.
We watch the news, read the papers but we still know little about the beliefs and practices of Islam. This morning we will dive into the roots of Islam. Is Islam comparable to Christianity? Is the only difference naming God Allah versus Jehovah?
Are the Muslim people peace loving? What does the Qur’an say about love and war? Here is even a bigger question – Do you know a Muslim and do you know how to respond to their questions about your Christianity? Stay tuned as we explore these important issues.
On another note, for those involved in the Biggest Winner, let’s finish strong! On Monday evening March 23rd from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. we will host the Biggest Winner: Season Finale. There will be prizes to be given away and it is a great time to encourage one another. We’ll see you then!
Love,
Pastor Todd
March 1st | Family Feud
Dear Church,Today we are witnessing a family feud that makes the Hatfields and McCoys look like a Sunday school picnic. The turmoil in the Middle East is almost 4,000 years old! It is a family feud…
Between two brothers – Isaac and Ishmael. One brother received the inheritance and one has been trying to get it back ever since. The unrest in Palestine isn’t political but spiritual to the core. Two groups of people believe God gave each of them the land located in the Middle East. So…who is right? Stay tuned, that is what we will discuss today.
On another note, tonight is a very, very important Town Hall meeting at 6:00 p.m. I cannot express to you enough the importance of this family meeting. Childcare will be provided and we will be done by 7:15 p.m. I love you church! See you tonight!
Love,
Pastor Todd
