Bring 3!

Sunday Splash!!

*We experienced another tremendous day at Sunset Chapel today!!

*It was great seeing Douglas Flores once again leading worship after recovering from an extended illness! He and the entire worship team did a fantastic job of leading us into the presence of God!

*I was humbled at the sight of so many who came around the altar for prayer today. There are so many with deep hurts and wounds in their hearts. I truly believe that God worked a great miracle in many of their circumstances!!

*It was also a pleasure to introduce Missionaries Jim and Meg Thacker to the Sunset Chapel family today. These are two of the Assemblies of God's finest! What a heart for the lost people of Central Africa!! His passion and enthusiasm will linger in our minds for a long time! Meg also spoke to our children for a few minutes in Kid's Inc. and the children were captivated by her stories of what God is doing in Burundi! SEVEN of our children stepped forward and allowed Meg to pray with them about becoming missionaries for God once they grow up into adults! BOOM! Take that devil!!

*We welcomed our new Student Ministries Pastor to SC today! Jose and Shayna Rivera are here to stay and rock our city and students for Jesus Christ!! You will absolutely love the excitement and energy that this young couple brings to Sunset Chapel and our city!! Students don't miss the kick off to their ministry this Wednesday at 7 PM!! IT WILL BE UNFORGETTABLE!!

*We announced that next week we will be hosting an all church missions dinner next Sunday immediately following the worship service! Please bring with you a hearty dish of food representing the country you are from! With so many attenders at Sunset Chapel representing different countries and cultural backgrounds this is going to be a lot of fun!!! Contact the church office and they will make a table sign indicating the name of the food you've prepared and what country it represents!! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS EVENT!!

*I made a sweet announcement this morning!! I asked everyone to bring THREE guests with them to our Easter Weekend Services!! It was an awesome sight watching people line up and get their tickets for their family and friends! A couple hundred tickets have already been distributed for these two services!! The tickets are great reminders to those you invite that something special is going to take place at Sunset Chapel! No one will be turned away. They (the tickets) will help us decide if we need to add additional chairs for the services!! We will have two opportunities for them and you to enjoy the Easter Worship Musical and ministry that will be taking place! Some of your best friends are just one more invitation away from visiting SC with you! Ask them to join you for this very special weekend!

*Don't forget to join us on Wednesdays for our study into the Book Of James! This book is filled with practical insights that you will find very helpful in your Christian walk! Bring your Bible, a pen and notebook with you!

Talk is cheap!

Incredible! Breaking News! The Greatest Ever! Everyday we are inundated with a flood of extravagant claims as we flip through the pages of our favorite magazines or surf the zillion channel choices on our flat screen televisions! For a small investment we can own the trendiest and most fashionable clothes, possess whiter teeth, eat the tastiest foods, drink the world's finest beverage and drive the fastest, sleekest, most upgraded vehicle ever!! And all these are "guaranteed" to bring you instant friendships, happiness and success!! BUT TALK IS CHEAP!!

Christians make a lot of claims too! Jesus is the Answer! Believe in God! Follow me to Church! Often we are guilty of living OPPOSITE of our claims. Our ACTIONS and ATTITUDES don't line up with our words. Possessing all the right answers many are contradicting the Gospel with their lives. TALK IS CHEAP!!

"Dear friends, do you think you'll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it?" James 2:14 (MSG). The truth and reality of our faith... is in a "CHANGED LIFE!!" Genuine faith... SHOULD INEVITABLY PRODUCE GOOD WORKS!

I want to invite you to join us as we kick off our brand new study on the "Book of James" Wednesdays @ 7 PM!! CONFRONTATION, CHALLENGE, and COMMITMENT await you on every single page of this practical letter to Christ followers! Bring your Bible, pen and a journal each week to write down the valuable insights I will be sharing with you! This letter was written to help us UNDERSTAND and ATTAIN spiritual maturity in our lives! This will be good!
