Doctrine of Propitiation, Sacrificial Giving (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/6)

Radical Experiment 2011 Update

We recognize the artists from the Dominican Republic who painted the mural at the entrance of our children's wing. They did a wonderful job for us and they did it for free.

Pray for us as go to spread the Gospel to the young men at the C.A. Dillon Youth Development Center on this Wednesday. You have to be 18 or older. If you are interested in going, sign up online or fill out connection card.

An important doctrine for us to understand is the doctrine of propitiation. Propitiation is Christ's payment for our sins and the removal of God's wrath. It works to provide our justification (being declared not guilty). Here's the video that we played during the announcement.

Happy Birthday & Anniversary to all celebrating in November.

Part of the Radical Experiment is to give sacrificially for a specific purpose.  Our hearts follow our money. One way is to give in a way that is church focused.  The church is God's primary agent to make disciples of all nations.  Those that attended our last Family Meeting know that we are way behind on our budget for the year. So we are asking all members to sacrifice to give at least 5% or more in their weekly giving until the end of the year.  If you are able to give more, please do so.  This will be very helpful to us to make sure that we can pay our bills and keep doing our level of ministry work.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...
