This is love in the making. The love of God is not created— it is His nature. When we receive the life of Christ through the Holy Spirit, He unites us with God so that His love is demonstrated in us. The goal of the indwelling Holy Spirit is not just to unite us with God, but to do it in such a way that we will be one with the Father in exactly the same way Jesus was. And what kind of oneness did Jesus Christ have with the Father? He had such a oneness with the Father that He was obedient when His Father sent Him down here to be poured out for us. And He says to us, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21).

Welcome Back!
We have just begun the study of "Signs of Life" by David Jeremiah. Wow! What a challenge as he sets before us the example of Jesus in our everyday life. We have just completed the overview, and we are excite! d about this study and what it will mean to each of us. If you have the book, we will be reading this week beginning at Day 8, "Dusty Shoes". If you don't have the book, it's OK! The weekly study does not require that you read the book, but we do have some books available if you'd like to pick one up. Come join us to find out more about Signs of Life'
"In a world starved for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, honesty, relevance, and compassion, Christians should specialize in exaclty those things through public expressions of private faith. It's by our smile...our compassion in the face of misfortune...our friendliness... our simple lifestyle...our willingness to commit random acts of kindness...our social ministries...our tears...our words....that unbelievers recognize Who we represent. Signs of Life will lead you on a journey to a fuller understanding of the marks that identify you as a Christian. Signs that will advertise your faith. Personal imprints that can impact souls for eternity and help you become a person of influence who radiates relevancy,authenticity,generosity,and compassion every day-just like Jesus did."
