Lamentations describes in excruciating detail the grief that resulted from the siege and eventual collapse of Jerusalem in 586 BC.  It is called Lamentations because it is the lament of a people who survived unspeakable loss.  For the next few weeks, we will use this Book as we examine When We Walk In The Path Of Sorrow.  How does God prepare us for days of pain, and what does He want us to do are items we will examine.

The headlines are grim.  Daily we hear of shootings, natural disasters, and more bad press about misbehaving believers.  Has God deserted the scene – given up on us, and just allowing things to play out?  This Sunday, What’s God Doing?, a look at world events through Isaiah 9. 

In our final installment of Contentment Crisis, we will focus on Paul’s words to Timothy, how contentment and godliness are connected.  Paul gives us four ways to use wealth and two outcomes for those who are generous.

This Sunday we are installing new elders to our leadership team. We will look at the pattern of Acts 14 and how the first century church added shepherds. Establishing leadership is critical to the life of the local church. This Sunday we install and celebrate what God honors.

Ever notice that unhappy people often have unhappy children, or that critical parents often have critical children, negative churches often reproduce negative members? Coincidence? What does the Bible teach about happiness, contentment, and simple satisfaction of life? This Sunday we begin a series, Contentment Crisis, a study on how our personal contentment impacts those around us.
