Too often we misplace our trust…

Putting our trust in the right One leads to assurance. That assurance makes us unshakable!

Last week we launched our digital ministry and looked at the issue of KNOWING and CERTAINTY in the realm of Christian faith. Today we continue our look at the story of Jesus through the Gospel According to Luke, the third book of the New Testament. What’s cool about today is that we actually get to launch into the story (and who doesn’t love a good story?)…

In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest of Abijah’s division named Zechariah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Both were righteous in God’s sight, living without blame according to all the commands and requirements of the Lord. But they had no children because Elizabeth could not conceive, and both of them were well along in years.

First of all, take notice that both Zechariah and Elizabeth were considered righteous people. They…

There are many who use the expression “do-gooder” as an insult.

But instead of an insult, it’s a character trait that is supposed to be evident in the lives of God-followers.

Go be a do-gooder!

Let’s face it – as fruity as some of you are you’re still missing some of the qualities of “wisdom from above.”

So let’s strive to be wise (and fruity)!

Peace that surpasses all understanding.

Now who doesn’t want that?!?

We often have big imaginations.

God is bigger…

Good morning, Church Plant Family! We’re changing up the title of our weekly update post. Ultimately we want our language to avoid being “churchy” – too many Christians speak Christianese and no one understands it unless you’ve been going to church forever and a day!

1. Talkin’ to God = prayer requests: this is a Christian expression that means, “Is there something you want us to pray about for you?” You can get a hold of us 24/7 through our site here, on Facebook, or on Twitter. We believe that God hears our prayer and cares about humanity. Though we don’t always get the answer we want, we take our needs and requests to God and ask for His blessing and his intervention in our lives. *NOTE* If you want a prayer request to remain private just let us know and it will stay 100% private.

2. Talkin’ About God…

This morning we’re kicking off our first week of digital church services at The Church Plant so we’re also kicking off a series through the Gospel According to Luke, the third book of the New Testament. The writer jumps right in saying:

Many have undertaken to compile a narrative about the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us. It also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honorable Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed. (Luke 1:1-4)

That’s it?! That’s how Luke begins his story of Jesus?

Yup.

He’s not just telling a story. He’s writing a letter to his friend, Theophilus, and he wants his letter to…

Where does your strength come from?

If the Lord is on our side, who can be against us?!?
