Hebrews Series, MAPS, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/23)

Today, we started a new series in the book of Hebrews called “Jesus is Better”. The author of Hebrews is unknown. Even though we may not know the human author, we know that the Holy Spirit is the author! This letter was written in the first century, probably before 70 A.D. Hebrews was written to address those Jews who were thinking about going back to Judaism. They professed belief in Jesus but for whatever reason (perhaps persecution and hardship) they were being tempted to go back to the old system of Judaism. 

Hebrews contains several warnings to keep people on the right path. The major theme of Hebrews is: Jesus Christ is greater than any angel, prophet, priest, old covenant institution, or anything else so hold onto your faith.



I want to remind everyone of our MAPS group...Mature Adults Praying and Studying. This group meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month from 10 to 11:30AM at the church. If you're interested in spiritually growing with likely minded saints, check out MAPS. 


Next Sunday, we're having our last Church Family Meeting of the year right after the service. So all members are asked to attend either in person or virtually via Webex. The special Webex link for the meeting will be sent out this week.

Thanks to all who came out to the Church Family Meeting. Our focus is reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
