Pastor Tim shares some thoughts on praise & worship:

“Tehillah” – Sunday, October 25, 2009
“Open the Eyes of My Heart/spontaneous song”- Sunday, October 25, 2009

College-age and Young adults are encouraged to attend tonights (9/14) Passion Live Link, that will take place in NFA 125.

SDSU has asked to be one of 4 locations world wide at this event to link back up with them! So wear your blue and yellow!

Welcome back to the campus and a new semester!  It’s amazing to think that another summer is long gone AND that Passion Twenty Ten is just four months away!

As a way of setting our hearts on Atlanta, and connecting students across the globe, Passion is hosting the Passion 2010 Live Link on Monday, September 14, 8:30PM EDT.  Broadcasting live from the Passion House in Atlanta (well, technically, we’ll be across the street) with Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, Kristian Stanfill and a bunch of local college students, the Passion 2010 Live Link is not something you watch online, but a night you participate in.  That means we want you singing along…and there will be time for you to pray with your crew right where you are.

Faith Promise speakers this year will be the people who have been sitting next to you all year.

Congregation members who participated in the church’s mission trip to Nicaragua Jan. 3-11 will speak.

Pastor Joe Ganahl will interview the team in pairs, pictures of trip will be shown, and Ricky Ganci will lead in singing a Spanish song that was sung at worship services in Nicaragua.

Probably some of the most common questions that people ask those of us who are pastors — or in full-time ministry in some capacity — are those deaing with hearing God!

“How do you recognize God’s voice?”
“How do you know when God is speaking to you?”
“How can I know what God’s will for my life is?”
“Does God really even want to talk to me…I’m just a normal person?”

Oh, and one of my favorites…

“Would you pray for me about [miscellaneous big decision]?   Since you’re a pastor and  you can hear what God wants to say better than I can?!”

Well, believe it or not, God wants to talk to…YOU!   In fact, He wants to talk to all of us, if we would just learn how to listen!

In this 7-part series, Pastor Joe teaches us how to hear God’s voice better.   And if you are like most of us (yes, even us pastors!), then this is an area where you have room to grow!   After all, we are all humans trying to learn how to have a better relationship with GOD, the Creator, a diety!   This is pretty big stuff!   It’s no wonder why many of us assume that only “special” people can hear God…but the fact remains that He CAN and DOES want to speak to me and you!   How?   Join us as we find out…

Has this sermon series impacted your life?

Do you want more people  to hear it?   Maybe a loved one or a co-worker?

Would you like to take  the small group  that meets in your home or workplace through this study?    Or maybe you’re thinking of volunteering to lead a class of people at your church?

Or…do you simply wish you could have the messages available to you, so that you could  study them even deeper in your own personal study…in your own pace, on your own time?

This entire series is one of those vital “life messages”, and is important enough that we should all be giving ourselves occasional reminders.   In other words,  to keep the central question in this series of messages fresh in our minds, we need to be regularly asking ourselves, “What would you do if you knew you only had 30 days left to live?”

Well, we here at Morningside Community Church are very excited to be able to offer,  for the first time ever, a full series of messages in a very attractive package of CDs,  which we are calling  the “Live Like You Were Dying series: Ultimate Small Group Edition”!   And what better  one to start with than this life-changing series?!

Ok, so if you’ve read this far, then I’ve probably at least piqued your interest enough that you now want to know, “What exactly is included in this set?”   Well, if so…click…right here…to find out… Read the rest of this entry »

God is transforming lives here at Morningside through this “Live Like You Were Dying” series!   Small groups are meeting and having some amazing discussions, sharing cross-generational encouragement and many people…both young and old, both married and single…are experiencing some much needed fellowship with other believers!

This week Pastor Joe really challenged us to step out of our comfort zone and “love others extravagantly…shock those around you by doing something for someone else that nobody would expect you to do!”   And it’s working, the stories people are telling are inspiring!   It is truly exciting  and convicting to hear what God leads us to do when we will just listen to His leading and then go and demonstrate His unmeasurable, uncontainable  love for others!

Maybe  you are at a place where you need to know that you are loved, that you are special, that you are not forgotten.   If that is you…we encourage you to do  four things: Read the rest of this entry »
