Resolutions

I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions. Most people I know are able to keep their resolutions for a week or two, but not much longer!

Sunday, Jan. 1, I am going to suggest some New Year's Resolutions we should make - and KEEP - during 2012. They are based on the study we just completed on the Attributes of God. I believe this message will serve as the "so what?" conclusion to that study.

I look forward to seeing you the first Sunday of 2012!

Dec. 25 Schedule

In order for families to enjoy their Christmas morning traditions, we will only be meeting at 11:00 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 25.

Knowing God

Beginning Aug. 7 at 11 a.m. at Open Door we will be looking at what the Bible says about knowing God. I encourage you to do your own study of this topic - I believe it will change your life!

Just Keep Praising Him!

In case you're wondering if we're still studying "Praise" on Sunday mornings at Open Door, the answer is "Yes!" The Bible teaches us so much about God - Who He is and what He does - and tells us repeatedly to "Praise Him" - that we may be in this study for several more weeks.

If you need to be reminded of our great God, this study will encourage you. I hope to see you Sunday at 11 a.m. at Open Door Community Church.

Praise Him!

There are over 200 ways to praise God listed in the Bible. The word "praise", depending on which translation you use, is used well over 100 times. This is an important subject! Meet with us Sunday at 11:00 a.m. as we study this topic. Your relationship with God will be strengthened!

What is Jesus Doing Now?

We rejoice in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. We are in awe of His sacrifice for us. But He's still working on our behalf right now! Sunday, May 1, we'll answer the question, "What is Jesus Doing Now?" You'll be encouraged!

And, as a public service announcement, Mothers' Day is May 8.

Can God Use Your Donkey?

Sunday, April 10, at 11 a.m. at Open Door, we will be looking at what happened on Palm Sunday. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey. I wonder about the owner of that donkey - did he have any idea Who was going to ride that donkey?

Which leads to this question: Can God use YOUR donkey? I know, you may not have a donkey - but you have SOMETHING God can use. Let's think about that together Sunday.
