Waiting by Tony D'Amico

“Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!” Psalm 31:24 (ESV)

We all experience times in our lives when we have to wait for something. There are times that are simply mundane, like waiting in line at the grocery store or at the bank. It could be waiting for something exciting, like going on a trip to Disneyland or a long awaited vacation to Europe. Or, it could be waiting for things that are not so exciting, like hearing back about a job interview or waiting to hear about medical test results.

God Breathed by admin

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

We just finished our study through the Book of Jonah; I think the story of Jonah has become one of the most challenging stories in the Bible to believe. Even back in 1794, Thomas Paine, author of “The Age of Reason” says that the book of Jonah is “…A fit story for ridicule if it was written to be believed — or of laughter if it was intended to try what credulity could swallow, for if it could swallow Jonah and the whale it could swallow anything.”

Made Complete by admin

By God’s grace and because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, I am being made complete. I love that truth.

All of my children are now 21 years old (and older), living their adult lives and following the Lord for themselves. My role as a father looks very different now from the days of changing diapers, coaching flag football, giving white knuckle driving lessons, and doing my best to instill godly principles. Those are sweet memories that I will always cherish.

Growing Faith, Increasing Love by admin

“We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.” 2 Thessalonians 1:3

Recently, I had the absolute privilege of going on our “Core Retreat” with our SLC location. That time together was tremendous. For two nights and three days nearly 100 people gathered in the mountains for a time of: connecting with each other, worshipping together, learning together, hiking together, playing paint ball together, and even watching the kiddos brave a huge “slip-n-side” down the mountain side.

Garage Sales for Jesus by admin

“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.” Colossians 4:5

A couple months ago, Krista and I decided we should have a garage sale. The kids had outgrown some of their old clothes and toys and, after deciding to move next year we needed to sell some things to help pay for packing and storage companies fees.

Musings on Madison by admin

You may have read of the recent news stories concerning the Ashley Madison website. Sadly, it is a dating website that targets married people who are looking to have an affair. Recently, hackers broke into the website’s servers and stole their information. Now, millions of people (who were either openly or secret looking to have an affair) have been exposed.

Fully Engaged by admin

by Bill Young[/caption]

“Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV)

Can you believe it — summer is over and the fall is already upon us?! This time of year always brings with it new and exciting opportunities to labor hard for Jesus (as well as Broncos football games)!

Parenting Workshop by Tony D'Amico

It’s difficult to raise children who will be equipped to face the world that’s waiting for them when they’re grown. How do we prepare them? How do we get them from infancy to adulthood and give them what they need to succeed in the life before them?

Monitoring the internet to make certain children and families remain safe has become critical. That is why  spyrix apk will save you many problems, so look no further than this article.

This world thinks it has the answers, but it doesn’t. What we need are parents filled with faith, standing ready to love and train their children, and having Biblical standards to live by. What does that practically look like? You probably have a lot of questions that you’d like to ask. We’d like to help give you some answers. Please join us on September 25 & 26, as we hear from Steve Nelson (pastor and father of eight children, and author of the book Premeditated Parenting) and his wife, Kathleen. They will share Biblical principals and practicals to successfully love and raise children to be warriors for Christ..

Friday 7- 9:00 p.m., Saturday: 9- 3:00 p.m. (a light breakfast will be served, lunch will be on your own) at our Draper location (11630 S 700 E). Childcare will be provided. The cost is only $10.00 per couple and $5.00 per single. Questions? Contact, Brent Kendall.

Forsaken Hope by admin

Many of us have heard it said (or have said it ourselves): “My relationship with the Lord feels kind of dry.” Or maybe something like this: “I just feel stagnant in my faith.” Or “I’m not getting much out of my quiet times lately.” This can happen to any of us. We feel like we are just going through the motions. Something that at one point felt so exciting and fun now just seems like an act or something you do because you feel like you have to.
