When you learn to pause and pray before making a decision, you are helping to slow your life down to a more manageable level. Proverbs 20:25 says, “It is a trap to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one’s vows” (NIV).

We’re all given the same number of minutes in a day. And we’re all given the same goal—to become more like Jesus.

God promises in the Bible that if you learn to give like him, then he will meet all your needs. Does that sound too good to be true? Maybe it does. But if the Bible says it, then you can believe it! God says that if you’ll put him first in your money and learn to be generous, open-handed, and open-hearted, then he will meet all your needs.

It is time to prepare the church for the Christmas season! We have many small projects that need to be completed, and we would love your help. If you are able, please join us in the sanctuary on Wednesday night at 6PM. There are several projects throughout the foyer and sanctuary, so we can be socially distant while decorating.

One of the great fears you face in this life is the fear of the future. You fear for the future of your family, your friends, your job, your community—and everything else in between. It’s natural. You’re not in control. But that realization should drive you to trust God more deeply.

As your church leaders, we have been working hard to protect and keep you as safe as possible during these days of Covid-19. Due to one of our members testing positive for Covid on Sunday night, after attending church and the Thanksgiving Dinner, we feel the need to put the following guidelines into place for the next 14 days. We will be postponing in-person worship services until December 6. We will stream services online only November 22 and 29 to our homepage and Facebook. The building will undergo a thorough cleaning and inspection. Please know your safety is our number one concern. For anyone who was with us on Sunday who may be feeling symptoms, we highly recommended that you go for testing. Our prayers are with you and your family during these days.

When you need to make a decision, the first and ideal test is this: “Is my decision in harmony with God’s Word?” You have to decide what’s going to be your ultimate authority in life. It really boils down to this choice: God’s Word or the world. Are you going to base your decisions on what God says or what other people say?

At the root of every sin rests at least a momentary doubt about God. In John 16:9 Jesus says, “The world’s sin is unbelief in me” (TLB). When you don’t believe Jesus is who he says he is or he’ll do what he says he’ll do, that’s the root of all sin. Here are some emotions you can look for that can help you know when you’re doubting God.

True freedom comes when you focus your mind on God’s truth. But how do you focus your mind on the right things so you can experience freedom? Here are three things you can do that will make the biggest difference in managing your mind.

“I am not really alone, because the Father is with me.” John 16:32 (GNT)
Having the mind of Christ means always being aware that God is with you.
