 April 28th                     Scarcity & Abundance               John 21:1-19
The Voice Translation of the Bible introduces today’s text this way: "After Jesus’ death, the disciples don’t know what to do with themselves, other than return to their old livelihood of fishing. This band of fishermen is lost and lonely, but just when they think things can’t be stranger, Jesus shows up. He tells them to fish on the other side of the boat. They do, and they are suddenly overwhelmed with fish. The nets are bulging.

What He shows here is that not only will their old ways of living leave His followers as empty as the nets, but their old habits will not work either. He has impacted their lives in a way that changed them forever. They can’t go back. And He knows they don’t know how to go forward."

The disciples continued to struggle with everyday problems even after experiencing the risen Lord. In a moment of frustration they decided to go fishing, but caught nothing. After the death of their teacher they felt they were left with nothing! What do we do when we are faced with scarcity (the feeling like we don’t have enough to go on)? How can we live in the light of God’s abundance when we feel like our nets are empty? Come today, friends and discover, we have more than we think we do!


May 5th                             A Matter of Life and Death                 Acts 9: 36-43
Today’s text tells about a disciple of Jesus named Tabitha. Tabitha was a woman living in the community of Joppa, even then a bustling port city. Tabitha led a vibrant ministry helping the poor and needy. It came to pass that Tabitha died. The community had no idea what they would do or how to go forward. Peter, now filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, responded to this struggling group in amazing way. Come and hear the story—you may find it gives you a new power as well.

May 12th                                  Working Mothers                             Acts 16: 9-15
The disciple Tabitha was not the only working woman in the New testament era, in fact it was not as uncommon as you may think. Today we’ll look at the account of a woman from Thyatira. Lydia was a business owner and known as a God-fearing woman. That description may fit many of our working mothers today but what does it mean for us? Join us and see!

May 19th                                     On Fire!                                          Acts 2: 1-21
The stage was set: men and women, pilgrims from all the known parts of the world, had gathered in Jerusalem. The disciples, men and women, were gathered in a room praying, waiting for the gift of power Jesus had promised. They had no idea what form it would take and how their lives would change. Their time of waiting was over: the kingdom of God was at hand and they were part of it, and so ARE WE! Come, be empowered, get your BOLDNESS on.

May 26th                             Women in the Military                                 Judges 4 God seems to make a habit of taking unlikely characters, men and women, and doing extraordinary things through them and in them. It was true in the Old Testament and in the New. It is still true today. How else could one explain how a backwater colony of the British Empire became AMERICA other than to say God is still doing it today!

Each Memorial Day we celebrate the heroes, we believe God has worked through, to bless our country. Today as we look at the story of two biblical women in the military, we will remember once again—God blesses those who trust in Him and stand ready to serve and to give HIM the glory.
