Community Christian Church

Would you like to help serve our fellow women of this community? Would you like to help be God's hands and feet? All you have to do is DRIVE A FRIEND to church! Here is the deal: there are women who call the office, some elderly, some single moms, and also, some from the La Vista house, who really want to attend our church and all they need is a ride. For whatever reason, they do not have transportation to our church and really would like to join our church family to worship with us.
 

Attention all radical ladies out there! If you have your ticket and are coming tonight to our 80s Bunco Bash, here are some things to remember:
 

Have you ever felt like the world was against you? You wake up and your best friend suddenly isn’t, or people you hardly know are making it there life’s goal to make you miserable for no apparent reason? Maybe it is a co-worker, or a family member? No matter our season of life, this doesn’t seem to change, but the way you react to it can, and it can make a huge impact on your relationship with them, and your relationship with Christ.

I heard the coolest thing the other day. It went something like this, “One of our jobs as Christians, while here on earth, is to be an encouragement to other Christians until Heaven.”

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I just had to say it! I am so excited about this cold weather, Christmas music, Christmas lights, and really focusing more and more on Jesus, Messiah, our Savior, and King! 
 

We've come to the last week of the 'Right Now' series. Our devotional reading carries us through Saturday with each day's reading focusing on leaving behind a legacy.  I decided to look up the definition of legacy and here is what I found: "a gift of property, especially personal property; anything handed down from one generation to the next." So here's what I'm thinking--if it's a gift no one can buy a legacy from you; no one can earn a legacy from you because it's a gift. But the part I like best is the 'personal' part. In 2 Timothy 1:5, Paul says, "I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also."  You can't get much more personal than that. Something personal was handed down.

 

HEY LADIES!!!!!  How are all of you?? I miss all of your faces (that’s right, even yours), and I can not wait for our next girl gathering! I AM LOVING MY LIFE GROUP, HOW ABOUT YOU???

 Hey, have you ever heard a song so many times and then all of a sudden one day it totally grabs you? As if you are hearing it for the first time? These are the lyrics to a popular song on Air1 that grabbed me today as I was working.
“I use one hand to pull you closer, the other to push you away. If I had two hands doing the same thing, lifted high, lifted high.”
That just so struck me, because isn’t that the truth? When we go to Bible study, or church, or we are spending time alone in His word, we are pulling Him closer. Then, what are we doing when we are alone, at home, or at work that is just pushing Him away? Anything come to mind? Let’s GET RID OF IT!! And bask in the Glory of our Lord with “Two hands lifted high”.

Have a great weekend!!!!

Is there anyone out there who needs practical help living the Christian life? I might be first in line to admit I do. I’m long past any idea I might have had that I could do it myself. What’s more, as time goes by I see more clearly that was never God’s intention. In fact, he intends for us to use what he has provided. Recently, on the Desiring God website, I came upon 5 Biblical steps for practical help using the acronym APTAT.
