- New Covenant Community Church New Covenant will extend its global outreach through a special collection for the people of Haiti, begining Sunday, Jan 17. Make checks payable to New Covenant—all funds will be directed to NEW MISSIONS —an organization we have connected with in the past—special ministries to children. Visit their site newmissions.org.
The recent sermon (January 10th) by Nathan Kilgore and David Zijjan {from Jinja, Africa} illustrates New Covenant’s vision to reach into the poverty-stricken and hurting poplulations of the Globe and touch them with the love of Christ. The ministry “Bridge Connections” , www.bridgeconnections.org founded by Nathan and his wife Katie, strives to connect local congregations like ours to indigenous orphan and widow ministries.
David’s ministry is called ”Father’s Divine Love Ministries” offers food and shelter to over 60 parentless children. http://www.divineloveuganda.org/divinelovechurch.htm
ACTS: GOING DEEPER
In this study, we will take a closer look at some of the major subjects found in the Book of Acts. This will be a “topical/survey study” rather than a verse by verse or chapter by chapter. Each lesson will attempt to help the bible study get a deeper and better grasp on some of these main themes which operate as major doctrines and practices within the Christian Church today. (Study will begin promptly at 7:00 and end at 8:30 each Wed night beginning on January 6th and run for six weeks)

The Church Age
The Book of Acts records the birth of the church as we know it today. As such, it marks the turning point in God’s dealings with the Jews or Hebrews. What is God’s plan for the church and how does it differ from his plan for the “chosen people?”

The Holy Spirit
The Book of Acts marks the coming of the Holy Spirit. Just as the coming of Jesus to earth changed the world, the coming of the Holy Spirit also changed history. What can we learn about the role of the Holy Spirit for the church and for our individual lives today?

Miracles
As in the Gospels, supernatural events are fairly common in the Book of Acts. Are we to expect miracles such as these in the life of the Christian today? How did miracles serve the early church and how do they function today?

Speaking in Tongues
This subject has divided churches and Christians for almost 100 years. It remains a topic of heated discussion, confusion and theological divide. What role did this phenomena play in establishing the early church and how should we understand its function today?

Persecution
The early church was not without opposition. Steven was the first martyr of the church. Why does God allow Christians to suffer and even sometimes give their life for the faith. What role does persecution play in our lives? What can we learn from the early martyrs?

Satan and demons
Throughout the Book of Acts, as in the ministry of Jesus, we find dark and deceptive resistance to the Gospel and God’s ministers. How active is Satan in the life of the church today? What is spiritual warfare and how to we stand against the powers of evil and darkness?

“Come As You Are”
“Taking A Good Look At The Christ of
Christmas”
This sermon series will focus on the wonderful gift that came packaged in the person of Jesus. Most of us far under-appreciate the greatest gift God ever gave. The more we understand this great mystery, the deeper our joy —not just at Christmas, but all year round.
Discover the implications of Jesus’ Coming: The Revelation, The Lamb, The Redeemer and The King!
Kevin Ireton: After pondering most recent my less than 30 days to live I thought. You know, God gave me this wonderful gift. This gift of music which only up till now you would have had to hire, or book the band, or even come to worship on Sunday to enjoy. It seems too as the years went by the cost of passing this gift on to everyone was rising right up along with the price of gas. As a result after years & years of people having to pay,…the performances became fewer and far in between. And even though after all these years, what was so seeming annoying then, would be “The Greatest Idea Of All”, I truly wish I could just strap on all my gear,… everything I need,… even a little PA with some processing…. And Everywhere I Go, plug-it-up and play for the total delight of all who will listen,..and sing all my songs, … All the songs that ever meant anything to me,..and share these gifts,…these meanings,…this effort,… As witness for all those willing to listen.
BETTY ADELUNG I don’t know who’s idea it was to start this particular small groups subject, but I have to say, I’ve gotten more done in my life in the past 3 days than in the past 3 months. I am living with intention. I am changing the things that I have been unhappy with. I feel more alive, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Prayerfully, this will continue. I usually do not finish things I start, but I am determined to do this.
This is an up-coming 6 week event for our New Covenant Community. Through sermons, home group discussions and testimonies, we will be challenged to prioritize our lives and live without regrets. If you are too busy for these opportunities, it may be a sign that you really need to attend! For more information check out our event’s page by clicking here.
