"Will God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes--all the time! It must be that way, for God's glory and kingdom. If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal Himself to a watching world."

This Sunday's Sermon-
MADE SUFFICIENT
The Apostle Paul makes a startling powerful statement in his second letter to the Corinthians and declares that God has made him sufficient to minister the new covenant. The verses surrounding this statement are pregnant with promise and power for all believers. I hope you will be as blessed by hearing this as I have been studying it. You already are so much more in God than you realize. Come and bring a friend this Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

We are excited about the growth and excitement among our preteens. They meet each week on Weds. nights and also have regular outings together as a group. Allison Fisher, who leads this ministry shared with us,
"We have been studying love during the last 3 weeks, learning how God loves us, & how His love changes us. We've seen examples of God's love in the Word, and identified ways that God has personally demonstrated His love for each of us.
Last night we looked at how God's love can & should shine through us to those in our lives. I plan to continue this study and lead into Easter with this focus."
Allison will gather the preteens together for a bowling trip soon. It's wonderful to see the relationships being built among these young people.

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running to church as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class.
As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!"
While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off, and started running again.
As she ran she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! But please don't shove me either!"
