The Gospel Of Isaiah Sermon Series...
Sunday, December 16th
"Everlasting Joy is NOW" ~ Isaiah 35
We are a People of HIS Presence
Fully embracing the WORD of God and the SPIRIT of God
Being transformed into the IMAGE of God,
Bringing forth the KINGDOM of God in our midst!
We, as Christ followers, are called by God to LOVE one another as Christ loves us.
We are not called to judge our neighbors. We are not called to condemn our neighbors.
Be POLITE to one another. HELP each other. Speak KINDLY to and about each other.
What comes out our mouth is a result of what is in our heart. May our behavior reflect who we are in Christ.
Prayer Room Open Every Wednesday from 10:00am - 2:00pm
Note from Pastor Paul Jones ~
For the next few weeks (as the LORD leads), we will have the “Prayer Room” open every Wednesday, from 10:00am - 2:00pm.
We want to encourage people to come for an hour or more; and unite our prayers together as we press into the Lord’s heart for His Wisdom, Strategy, and Power for our families, congregation, community, and nations.
We are reminded of God’s invitation and promise:
“If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. For now, I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time." ~ 2 Chronicles 7:14-16.
We also recall Jesus’ passion as he cleansed the temple - (and he cleanses the “Temple” of our lives - saying, "Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?” Mark 11:17 (quoting Isaiah 56:7).
May our very lives become the house of prayer the Lord desires us to be.
* HOPE * LOVE * JOY * PEACE *
As we gear up for Christmas, Advent reminds us to wait and pray for our Savior Jesus Christ to come again.
The season of Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas and ends on Christmas Eve.
During Advent season, believers recall the longing the Jews had for the return of the Messiah,
as well as OUR OWN YEARNING for His Return.
We are now waiting patiently for the ultimate promise Jesus made to His people - Jesus WILL return and make all things right.
It’s a beautiful reminder that our Savior is coming back!
“But our citizenship is in Heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ.” ~ Philippians 3:20
