Go, Open Doors … Past, Present, Future

November 28, 2016 By Leave a Comment

Today we are celebrating the 71st Anniversary of our Church.  Pastor Ken concludes his series on “Go, Open Doors!” by connecting together the doors that were opened to bring our church into existence, with the doors that are open for us now and the doors we need to open tomorrow.  The Scripture today is taken from Romans 11:33 through 12:6.  He leaves us with 3 final thoughts on the subject of “Go, Open Doors!”:

GO AHEAD…GO OPEN DOORS:

  • –God’s wisdom & power, mercy & love is open to you
    • We enter, ‘worship’ with total abandon / sacrifice to His Lordship
  • –Human patterns /philosophy -without God, are dead-ends
    • Goodness conforms to/enters God’s will – renews & transforms
  •  Humble response to God’s grace unites us in community
    • Faithful ‘living’ is in a healthy body, which belongs to each other
Go, Open Doors!

Listening To Your Mind

February 14, 2016 By Leave a Comment

Humans perceive, recognize and distinguish data every millisecond. As our minds process data, we are driven by a major theme: what is best for us. In the 2nd inspiration of our spiritual  discernment series, we ask: ”what is the role of intellect in discovery, motivation and celebration in our lives?”. Paul’s answer to the Romans is of great help – Romans 12:1-3.

Spiritual Discernment 2

Here is a link to the “CHOOSING WELL, through Holy Discernment” document that Pastor Ken circulated during the Message today.
