Summer Sermon Topics

genes — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:01:00 +0000

Although I always preach from the Bible, using it as the basis of everything I say, it is always a challenge to present those Biblical concepts in new and thought provoking ways. That said, this summer I have been using the chapter titles from Robert Fulghum’s book, Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, as my sermon titles for a series that preaches through the major concepts of the Old Testament. For the next few weeks, my sermons will continue that theme with these topics:

July 4 – The Biggest Word, When Learning to Read is Look, based on the problems that God’s people encountered in Joshua 9 when they did not look before they leaped into a very unfortunate alliance.

July 11 – Take a Nap, which deals with the concept of a regular day of rest dedicated to the purpose of contemplating God.

July 18 – Share Everything, which presents the way God uses relationships in the book of Ruth to provide for His people.

July 25 – Don’t Take Things That Aren’t Yours. While God’s people are called on to share … they aren’t supposed to break the covenant of marriage to do so, as evidenced by the trouble that David and Bathsheba got into in 2 Samuel 11.

August 1 – Gold Fish, Hamsters and the Seed in the Cup Die … and so will we someday. Fortunately, the book of Ecclesiastes gives God’s people very good instructions on how to be ready for that day.

I hope you will join us for worship at AFCC, this Sunday at 10:30 AM.

New Sermon Series to Begin May 9

genes — Tue, 04 May 2010 17:50:40 +0000

Mother’s Day Sunday, May 9, will be the starting date for a new sermon series I will be preaching this summer: Everything we really need to know about life can be learned in God’s kindergarten. Loosely based on the chapter titles of Robert Fulghum’s book, All I really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, my series will provide a chronological look at the Old Testament and the Big Picture lessons it teaches the followers of God.

Here are the sermonic “lessons” for the month of May.

Lesson #1: Warm Cookies and Milk are Good For You. (God’s Intent for Mankind as seen in GN1:31)

Lesson #2: Always Flush. (The Great Flood as Spiritual Cleanser, GN 6:1ff)

Lesson #3: Play Fair. (The story of Jacob’s family.)

Lesson #4: Be Aware of Wonder. (Conclusions in the book of Job.)

See you Sunday – GRS

The Easter Season

genes — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:02:53 +0000

As is our usual practice, AFCC’s members and friends have exerted considerable energy preparing for Easter Sunday through a variety of ways. Over the last several weeks, many have given up various things as a way of helping them contemplate the sacrifice of Christ. During that same 45-day period, many have also undertaken special times of daily study and prayer. Sermons, special services, Bible School lessons, choral anthems and three special mid-week services have all been planned to help us contemplate and anticipate Christ’s glorious resurrection. Easter Sunday is certainly worthy of that sort of emphasis. However, now that Easter is here, it does not mean that it is time for us to find a new emphasis that will challenge and motivate us. There is no more central or life altering truth than that concerning the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. His resurrection validates everything Jesus said as well as everything He asked His followers to do. If Christ rose from the dead, then that also makes him Lord and Savior. His sacrifice and triumph must transform not just the 45 days leading up to Easter, but the next 365 days as well.

Holy Week

susanm — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:38:11 +0000

You Are Invited to Attend All our Special Holy Week Events

Palm Sunday, March 28, 10:30 AM:

To help us commemorate Jesus’ Palm Sunday entry into Jerusalem, a special pre-service, courtyard reception, complete with foods from the Holy Land, will be held from 10:10-10:30 AM.

Wednesday, March 31, 7 PM:

Our children and youth will lead us in a Tenebrae service. This “service of darkness” will utilize choral numbers, scripture readings and congregational singing to recount the story of Christ’s Passion as candles are extinguished until the room is dark.

Good Friday, April 2, 7 PM:

Using Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Last Supper as a backdrop, actors and choir will recreate the moment when all must ask; “Is it I?” To celebrate the bi-lingual nature of our “one” congregation, all the apostles will be portrayed by Spanish speaking members (English translations will be on the screens) and all choral numbers (with Spanish libretto) will be sung in English by the choir.

Easter Service, April 4, 10:30 AM:

Easter Sunday is always filled with glorious music and inspirational worship and this year’s celebration is no exception. The Brian Noel Harp Ensemble will join with our choir and orchestra to provide a special touch to the music portion of the English service.
