June 9th Sermon ~ Living Sacrifices

Living and sacrifice don’t go together. However, that is exactly what it takes to live the Good News of Jesus in our lives. Let’s learn how we can die to live and what we can do when we are yielded to Christ.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:1-2)

June 30 – The Debt of Love – Romans 13:8-10

There is only one debt for the follower of Christ. It is the debt of love we owe. Giving our love away isn’t a suggestion but a debt to be paid. Let’s see how we are doing on the payment of love.

July 7 – Judging Others/Judging Ourselves – Romans 14:1-19

What does it mean to judge someone? Is it necessary? Is it loving? Do we take stock in our own lives before we look at others or is it vice versa? Let’s explore if the word Judging sould be in our vocabulary and if so, how do we live it?

Sing ‘n Celebrate ~ June 2 at 7:00 pm

29 May

In the May-June issue of Upper Room, we are asked – “Do you think God is more apt to listen to the prayers of the church leaders, the president or world dignitaries because of who they are or the magnitude of their problems or responsibilities?”

Join the congregation of SNC as we are reminded that God listens to ALL of us with the same passion, concern and love.
