08/24/14 Celebrate - Part II
Today I continue with the theme of - Let Your Light Shine. However, I'm going to speak further about Letting Our Light Shine through our Celebrations. Last week I spoke to you about celebrating, and that celebrating is important. It was important to God to give us festivals. God's festivals are not like today’s festivals that start at nine and end at two. No, God knows how to throw a party! – Pastor Dale
08/17/14 Let Your Light Shine - Celebrate
The theme of Let Your Light Shine continues this week by way of discussing our celebrations. Celebrating is one of those things that people need, why? Celebrating keeps us focused on what’s important. All throughout the Bible, God has given us celebrations. In Deuteronomy 16 He lays out three festivals for the children of Israel.
- The Festival of Passover
- The Festival of Weeks
- The Festival of Booths
Why did God give us celebrations? To help us remember what He's doing in our lives and to attach us to life. – Pastor Dale
8/3/14: Let Your Light Shine - Be Accountable
For the last few Sundays, we've been studying letting our light shine and all that it encompasses. The word let implies you and I have a choice. This week's sermon falls directly in line with that principle- from the aspect of accountability. In a day where many do not like to be held accountable to anything, it’s important for us to realize as Christians that God holds us accountable. – Pastor Dale
