This new series was started last week and was so awesome. We are being secret agents taking on new missions of enduring courage while studying the courage that Daniel had through his life. This week's message is about making the decision to do what is right. Sometimes what God tells us to do isn't always what the world expects or understands, it takes a lot of courage to stand up for what God tells us to do knowing it's the right thing to do.

The points for this week are:

1. Make the Decision to Do What's Right

2. Keep the Right Attitude

3. Watch God Bring the Victory

The Power Verse for this week:

"...Be Holy in all you do..." 1 Peter 1:15

Parents,

This week we are starting a new series in Kidz Connection called Operation Enduring Courage. This series focuses on Daniel and the courage that he needed to do what was right and follow what God told him to do. Even when his life was threatened, he didn't lost sight of what was most important, God.

This weeks points are :

1. Sin wants me to listen to a different voice

2. Sin forces me to choose

3. Sin offers me a Future (not a good future)

4. Sin tries to change my name

This series is really going to challenge the kids to stand on the word of God when things are tough. It will be a great time of teaching and discussing the importance of God being number 1 in life and second to none.

The PowerVerse for this week is: "And the Lord will give you a new name" Isaiah 62:2

Be Blessed,

Pastor Donovan and Pastor Sarah :)

This week October 18, 2009 we will be finishing up our last week in Fruit Of Failure. This has been an amazing series pressing deeper into temptation, sin and how God feels about both.

This weeks message is on God's response to failure. This will be a great ending as we have learned about consequences to sin and the trickery of Satan, we are now going to see how God views us when we fail to run from temptation.

The points for this week are:

1. He Comes To Me

2. He Gives Me A Chance To Make It Right

3. He Gets Mad A Satan

4. He Allows Me To Suffer The Consequences Of My Sin

5. He Makes It Right!

Our power verse for this week is "But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful ... to forgive us..."

1 John 1:9

Be Blessed,

Pastors Donovan and Sarah

How to handle Temptation

The last two weeks we have been studying the garden of Eden and learning about what temptation is and what happens when we give into temptation. This weeks lesson is on how to handle temptation. Here are the three points from the message for Sunday Oct. 11.

First we must "Not listen to Satan's lies but trust God's plan."

Second "Don't hang around run from temptation."

Finally "Don't follow the crowd, do what's right."

The Power Verse for this week is:

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation" Matthew 26:41

Be Blessed,

Pastors Donovan and Sarah
