Hello Church, 1. Wednesday Night Alive adult class is the final lesson on Making Disciples, The Disciple’s Reproduction of Maturity. You will see the process we go through of helping someone deepen their walk with The Lord and the profiles of those who lead others along and become Disciple Makers themselves. Would you find out more about your place in helping people grow as a Disciple? 2. This Sunday has 2 remembrances: Veteran’s Day and Orphan Sunday. Veterans protect and…

Hello CCA, A. I would like some feedback ? Considering the Faithful in Finance series I just completed: What was the most helpful information or practical ideas for you? Have you been able thus far to implement something from the series? Do you remember the 4 Biblical Plans I laid out for you? Send back a message to see if you remember ? Let me know if you noticed a suggestion I could implement for the future. B. Here’s a note from…

Hi CCA ? Personally, I had no worries about reaching our Missions Conference financial goal of $10K. (it is currently over $11,800 – more may come in) You folks are always generous toward projects and Mission work. Most of you just received State money and you are encouraging me by applying the Biblical Saving Plan principles I have talked about for years. I am proud of your accomplishments and your heart for Kingdom Missions. We had some insightful and inspiring messages…

Hello CCA, Tomorrow, Wednesday Night is dinner and Adult Discipleship Study. (There are classes for all ages as well.) We are learning to add 7 spiritual traits to our faith from what Peter writes: “By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his…

Hello Church, More than a year in the planning. Our 2019 Missions Conference starts tomorrow at 7 pm. Discovery will be based around what Jesus said just as he is returning to heaven to prepare a place for us, and come back for an increased Kingdom; “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the…

Hello CCA ? 3 things I would have you consider: Wednesday Night Alive adult discipling study is The Responsibility to other Disciples. Memory verses are 1 Corinthians 13.4-8a. I used those this weekend when I did a wedding at Alyeska. Tonight at 6 for dinner, 7 for spiritual fitness. Friday at 7, begins our Mission’s Conference weekend. Why should I attend each session? What do I know about “The Great Commission”? Matthew 28.18-20 is the central scripture of focus for the…

Hello CCA WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALIVE (WNA). The memory verse for last week’s discipleship study was James 1.2-4 and here it is. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4 NASB Did you get a chance to use that verse this week? A week seldom goes by when we…

Hello CCA ? “Tell your money where to go.” That’s the “Big Idea” for the Annual Financial series I have done for years. I love it and you will too. We are on week 2 this Sunday – build your Generosity Plan. Spoiler alert: tell this week’s PFD ‘where to go.’ Don’t wake up next week and wonder where it went. ‘Money talks’ and for the naive it says ‘goodbye’. CCA loves to talk about money. Handling money well makes families…

Hello CCA, Generosity is winning. (Not losing) Do you remember I said Sunday that Proverbs has 8W‘s in it as themes, one of those being wealth? Here’s one about generosity: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 NIV https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbible.com%2F111%2Fpro.11.25.niv&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ca13c71d070c14ab0cbed08d628fa3f52%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636741452592586610&sdata=gkIQBQMSw5FNyk6TkGDeMkjTWgxQsWsL%2B55UoCq5DOI%3D&reserved=0 Would you read about generosity this week? Here’s the true story of a faith-filled widow: “He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.” Luke 21:2 NIV https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbible.com%2F111%2Fluk.21.2.niv&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ca13c71d070c14ab0cbed08d628fa3f52%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636741452592586610&sdata=q4M5xgPtx8k7HK6LLRKkh6yctShjrsbNTd0eh%2FOzCVo%3D&reserved=0 (the links will…

Hello Church, The calm after the storm. Did you see the full moon this morning standing out against a clear blue sky? It was beautiful. And it reminded me of God’s truth. Yesterday was one of the hardest downpours we have experienced in Alaska, punctuated by gusty winds, lightning and thunder. Truly a day to watch it from inside. Our lives sure experience tempests don’t they. But remember God has the next move and he is bringing a solution and…

Hello CCA, A preacher friend of mine once called me when (unbeknownst to him) I was having a hard time dealing with some church problems. He said, I’ve been doing this for a long time. I have found that ministry wouldn’t be half bad if it weren’t for people. That ‘cheered me up some’ and made me chuckle because ministry is people!! Always was always will be. This church, any church is a complexity of people. People choose to walk…
