Sneak Peek of October 9, 2011 Worship Service
The conversion of Paul (aka "Saul of Tarsus") was one of the most stunning turns of events in history. He went from being a misguided (& self-righteous) fanatic and dangerous bigot to someone who was stunned people by preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.
The difference?
He encountered the Lord Jesus Christ who both called him by grace and commissioned him to preach the Gospel to non-Jewish cultures. The reason you and I have the privilege of hearing the gospel is in large part due to Paul's willingness to do whatever it took to make sure the Gospel was distinguished from man-made alternatives.
Join us this Sunday as we look at one of the most convincing reasons to embrace Christianity: the conversion of a hate-filled terrorist into a preacher of God's amazing grace (Galatians 1:11-24).

Lord, free us...
Pastor Scotty Smith has a wonderful prayer...
Free us to love the gospel of the kingdom and the kingdom of your gospel. Help us realize that we have only seen one leaf in the great forest of gospel riches. Free us from our little fiefdoms of self-absorbing preoccupation. Free us to invest and work, weep and dance in the advancing of your kingdom. Free us to see the glow and smell the aroma of the new heaven and new earth. Free us to know that none of our labors in you are in vain.Click here to read more...
Free us from the many expressions of living for people’s approval. As long as we give people power to either make us or break us, we cannot love them well. Free us to forgive those who fail us; to bless those who curse us; to pray for those who shame us. Free us from needing to be needed and noticed.

Sneak Peek of October 2, 2011 Worship Service
Lesslie Newbigin, in his book, The Open Secret, said, "The Christian commitment is distinguished in that it is a commitment to a belief about the meaning of the whole human experience in its entirety—namely, the belief that this meaning is to be found in the person of Jesus Christ, incarnate, crucified, risen, and destined to reign over all things."
This is a claim that doesn't set well in our cultural context, and we're tempted to compromise on it. But Paul calls us to stand firm seeking to please God and not the culture around us.
Join us on Sunday as we gather to worship, and open the Scriptures to examine Galatians 1:10.
