08/29/2010 God Encounters – Priorities in House Building – Haggai - Kevin Harney
Each week our focus will be on one biblical character, a unique encounter they had with God, and something they learned (about their own faith and God) through this experience. This week our character will be Haggai and the encounter will be when God came and spoke to Haggai and gave him a prophetic message (The content of the book of Haggai). The lesson about God is that He loves us so much that He calls us to make sure He is always first in our lives. The message about ourselves is that the daily stuff of our lives often gets in the way of our faith and we need to regularly redefine our priorities.
08/22/2010 God Encounters – The Love that is Most Like God’s – Ruth - Ben Patterson
The character is Ruth, a despised Moabite, who becomes the ancestor of David and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Her encounter with a God that sometimes comes to us in difficulty and disappointment, when everybody else does what is right in their own eyes.
Above all else, God’s love is promise-keeping love, the kind of love Ruth showed to Naomi: “May the Lord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!”
