This is a presentation we put together to start a service this past July

1. 1

5. Welcome To the Chapel Pull up a seat, relax, sip some coffee…with all that’s going on in the world…

6. The Middle East

9. DARFUR

13. We Know The World is Hard But….

14. We also believe that Jesus came…

15. To Give Us More Than Jewelry Options

16. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of. John 10:10(MSG)

17. We want to take the next few moments to silently prepare to meet with God this morning. We are here because of a Divine appointment. We believe God has spectacular things planned for all of us…

18. “ I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” God to the prophet Jeremiah

19. “ … if my people, who are called by my name,

20. … will humble themselves and…

21. … pray and seek my face and turn from their…

22. wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven

23. and will forgive their sin and will heal their land .”

24. God To King Solomon As quoted in 2 Chronicles 7

25. The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God,

26. this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.

27. It's our handle on what we can't see.

28. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.

29. The Letter To The Hebrews Chapter 11 Verses 1-2

30. I AM NOT

47. “ What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus!

48. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for,

49. including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole . I Peter 1:3-5

50. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that's coming when Jesus arrives. Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing.

51. … You didn't know any better then; you do now…

52. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God's life,

53. a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, "I am holy; you be holy."

54. You call out to God for help and he helps—he's a good Father that way.

55. But don't forget, he's also a responsible Father, and won't let you get by with sloppy living.

56. Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in.

57. … He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know.

58. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought.

59. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you.

60. It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.

61. Now that you've cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. Your new life is not like your old life.

62. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself!

63. The Apostle Peter’s First Letter Chapter 1

64. God

65. LOVES

66. YOU

67. NO MATTER

68. What's Happened

69. IN YOUR PAST

70. OR

71. What You think you've done

72. He’s

73. Waiting for you now

74. “ God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons. He's set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much, the Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating.” The Apostle Paul to The Colossian Church

75. “ You yourselves are a case study of what he does. At one time you all had your backs turned to God,

76. … thinking rebellious thoughts of him, giving him trouble every chance you got. But now, by giving himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God's side and put your lives together, whole and holy in his presence.

77. You don't walk away from a gift like that! You stay grounded and steady in that bond of trust, constantly tuned in to the Message, careful not to be distracted or diverted.

78. There is no other Message—just this one. Every creature under heaven gets this same Message. I, Paul, am a messenger of this Message.”
