Pictures from Outdoor Service

Wanted to pass along a couple more pics from our service Sept 13

The Generous Church

This new series is aimed at helping us understand that when by the Grace of God, he gets a hold of our heart, it will change the way we view our resources. I'm not talking only our money, but also our time and how we view those around us. God's great desire is to see us become "trophies" of his love, put on display for others to see.

From day one here at SBCC we've wanted to use whatever God gives us to build up his kingdom. We've used garage sales to benefit local schools, "Trunk or Treat" for kids to have a great evening of fun with lots of candy (we get a subsidy from local dentists), to this Generous Church campaign where God has provided us the means to help families in need.

Four guys in the Old Testament posed an interesting question. They looked at each other and their less than ideal lot in life and asked this question, "Why sit here until we die?" Do you find yourself spinning your wheels, watching your life pass by, not sure what you're doing or why? "Why should you sit here doing nothing and then pass on?"

God's plan for our lives that we might know His Son Jesus as our Forgiver from sin & guilt, then trust him to lead us on our journey of life. God wants you and I to use our time & our resources in living for him. Do you want your life to count? Are you interested in writing a legacy that won't erode with the passing of time?

God of Wonders beyond our Galaxy

On Sunday September 13th we celebrated God's goodness by having the worship service outdoors. It was a great day. Barely touching 80, partly cloudy, gentle breeze-one couldn't ask for a better day. As our worship team was drawing the song portion of our service to a close, my wife Patti nudged me and directed my attention to the sky. I looked up and noticed this huge cross looming over us. It was an awesome sight and great reminder as to why we had gathered. To celebrate the mercy & grace of Jesus Christ. He demonstrated his love towards us by dying on the cross & victoriously returning from the grave on the 3rd day!

If you're looking for a church that exalts Jesus Christ and desires to make him known, then join us this Sunday. We have a staffed and secure nursery & kids worship time for children. Our 1st through 5th graders remain with parents for the song portion of the service. The atmosphere is casual and our music is contemporary with a desire to turn our hearts towards Christ. Weekly we teach from God's Word. My desire to make His Word understandable in it's given context and applicable to life today.

Our methods may vary, but the message of the Grace of God reaching us through the Love of Jesus Christ is constant. If you're looking for a church cares more about where God is leading you than where you've been... I'll see you on Sunday!
