LIFE Changing Teaching -
Early Winter 2012
January 1, Epiphany Sunday
-The heart of our hope for the future“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but
you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On
that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and
you are in me, and I am in you.” (John 14: 18–20)
January 8
– New Series Begins! For our earlywinter teaching and worship we will focus on Jesus.
In his recent book,
Beautiful Outlaw, John Eldredgeencourages us to look closely at the personality of
Jesus as we read the gospels.
Why do this? Perhaps a sentence from the book will
provide a place to begin.“The ravages of sin, neglect,
and abuse, and a thousand addictions have left us all a
shadow of what we were meant to be. Jesus is humanity
in its truest form.” (48) Let’s learn from Him.
