“Love God with everything. Love everyone else as much as you love yourself. Nothing else is more important.” Jesus

“Love will keep us together…” Captain & Tennille

“Yo quiero saber si un milagro puede ser que este sueno sea el comienzo de un eterno amor.” Shakira

“Is this love that I’m feeling?
Is this the love that I’ve been searching for?
Is this love or am I dreaming?” – Whitesnake

“If you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” Mother Theresa

“All you need is love…” John Lennon

Is love really all we need?
Who should I marry?
Are all the good men taken?
Will I ever find a wife?
Isn’t just being in love enough?
What happens when the love is gone?
Do I have to forgive him?
How can I protect our love?

Join us in February as we take a look at this thing called love.

February 7: Finding “The One”

God is naturally supernatural and everything He does bears His supernatural DNA. From before creation, His supernatural power and nature were evident. Heaven existed before He created the heavens and the earth. He created angels before He created man. He created the universe with the words of His mouth. In the biblical account of the creation of the heavens and the earth, His supernatural nature is demonstrated again and again.

God created a hunger in the hearts of all mankind for the supernatural, so they would be drawn to Him, their supernatural creator.

In this series we will demystify the supernatural as we compare the powerful dynamics of:

1. God vs. Satan: October 4th
2. Angels vs. Demons: October 11st
3. Miracles vs. Magic: October 18th
4. Light vs. Darkness: October 25th

From Genesis to Revelation, the supernatural nature, power and presence of God is revealed again and again on the earth and in the lives of ordinary people. The supernatural is not to be feared, but welcomed and celebrated.

Jackson Senyonga was born and raised in Uganda, East Africa. He is the founder and senior pastor of Christian Life Church in Kampala, Uganda, in East Africa. Jackson once again saw God’s grace at work as the church skyrocketed from seven people to 2,000 in two weeks. Within the first seven months that number grew to 7,000. Today, over 22,000 people attend Christian Life Church each week, and 40,000 are registered as members and that number continues to grow on a daily basis. Christian Life Church (CLC) has planted over 1000 churches in four countries in Africa.

Join us as we welcome Pastor Jackson this Sunday. You definitely don’t want to miss it.

Who should I marry? Where is the love in our marriage? How do I raise kids without going crazy? Trying to answer these questions can make you feel like you’ve lost all your marbles. Fortunately, the Bible has a lot to say about finding love, keeping it alive and raising stable kids in a very unstable world.

It’s time to knuckle down and get serious about our marriages and families. Because life is too important to lose all your marbles. This time, we’re playing for keeps.

8/30: Finding “The One” (What is love? Who should I marry?)
9/6: Playing for Keeps (Keeping love alive in marriage)
9/13: Winner Keeps. Loser Weeps. (Don’t lose your family.)
9/20: Lost Your Marbles? (Raising great kids without losing your mind)

Who doesn’t look forward to the Summer blockbusters? At the movies we can walk on the edge, dodge danger at every turn, shoot for the stars, land on our feet and live happily ever after. It’s an escape… a chance to vicariously live the most exciting experiences life has to offer through the imaginations of today’s talented artists in the movie industry.

But what about real life? God’s imagination contains adventures and dreams for us that would send Hollywood’s best straight to the ‘D’ list. Are we really satisfied watching all the good stuff on the big screens? Are we willing to trust Him and experience the thrill of walking in God‘s creative plan for our lives?

You don’t want to miss this fun and inspiring series happening every Sunday in July. We’re going to have a little fun and lay hold of some God sized dreams for our lives. Come early… you won’t want to miss the previews!

June 2009… The Church unites in action to reach our world.

We pray to Jesus asking Him to answer our prayers – what if we became the answer to His? In John 17:20-24, He prayed that we would be one, and One Prayer is an opportunity to see what can be accomplished when the Church works together.

In June 2008, God worked in amazing ways as more than two million believers stood together to pray, fast, learn, and love others. This year, we’ll be joining forces once again for an extraordinary worldwide experience: One Prayer 2009. Beginning the first weekend in June, we’ll come together for four weeks as we learn more about our Creator and go out into the world to share, serve and give.

It’s all over the news. Corporate greed leads to government bailout, stocks are falling, jobs are shaky and the world is searching for a solution. Can peace come out of this chaos? Is it true that money is the root of all evil? How should we live in uncertain times? What does God think about money? And what about the American dream? The perfect house… your dream job… beautiful kids… and an overwhelming feeling of absolute emptiness… there is so much more!

We just may find that God is not in need of a bailout.

Don’t Quit will challenge and inspire you to remain dedicated and determined in the worst of times and the best of times.

March 8: Don’t Quit in the Best of Times
…When all that you have is multiplied and your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God… Deuteronomy 8:13-14

How we live in the best of times reveals who our faith is in and what we value most.

March 15: Don’t Quit in the Worst of Times
Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. 1st Corinthians 16:13

How we live our lives in the worst of times reveals who we really are.

March 22: Quitters Never Win
Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 1st Corinthians 9:24

Quitters never win and winners never quit! Determination turns tragedy into triumph, defeat into victory and losers into winners.

Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it?

It’s crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe – the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor – loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We got to church sing songs and try not to cuss.

Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not… we all know something’s wrong.

Join us for our series, Crazy Love. A study from Francis Chan’s new book that will surely challenge you to the core.
