Sunday School Snip-it (January 24, 2016)
The story this week, “The Ark Was Captured” is one example of the things they allowed to happen to the tabernacle and its furnishings. The ark of the covenant was a symbol of God’s presence with the people. As the Israelites battled the Philistines, they lost a battle quite substantially. Instead of asking God what happened, they decided it would be a good idea to go get the box of God, the ark of the covenant, and bring it into battle with them.
Sunday’s Coming ~ January 24, 2016
This week we look very practically at what this love for one another looks like. You see, genuine love is not simply a feeling or notion, it is seen and experienced in very real ways. As Bob Goff’s book says, “LOVE DOES.” If we love we will serve, we will give, we will offer hospitality and a cup of water to the stranger in our midst. And in this service we will explore what it looks like to do these things when we do not feel like it, when we do not get acknowledged or when loving is a sacrifice and a struggle.

Sunday School Snip-It (January 17, 2016)
The Gospel Project for Kids story this week is about a woman named Hannah. Hannah had a good life but one thing was missing. Hannah wanted a child. As her family went annually to Shiloh to worship at the tabernacle, Hannah became distressed and prayed to God that He would give her a son. Hannah wanted a son so badly she promised to give him back to the Lord to serve Him. God granted Hannah’s prayer and a year later she gave birth to a son named Samuel.
Sunday’s Coming ~ January 17, 2016
Last week I invited people to follow Paul’s challenge to “sober up” with an honest self-assessment of who we are in Jesus. I believe that with an honest view of ourselves in Christ, we will be able to live and love like Jesus for the sake of others.
This week, we pick up the next step: what kind of love we have to give. I was blown away be studying the most common of words – “love.” I can’t wait to share what God showed me. It may just change your life. It did mine.
