Sunday, December 14th New and Improved Outline

Here is the completed outline of today's message:

Life Interrupted

Luke 2:8-20 & Matt. 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19

Christmas at Calvary Part 2

Unexpected changes to your life will either draw you closer to God or drive you further from God.

#1: What to do immediately when life changes suddenly                                          (Luke 2:8-20)

·  Reach Out - Community

·  Move Forward - Obedience

·  Lift Up - Worship

#2: What to do thoroughly, when life changes gradually                         (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19)

·  List the evidences of God’s love

·  List the evidences of God’s power

·  List the evidences of God’s plan

Do you draw closer to God when your life gets interrupted?

Pastor Shawn,

Great message yesterday and I like the "New and Improved" outline:-) I find I am closest to God during times of "Interruption." He is where I draw my strength.
Sometimes I move a little further away when things are going along smoothly. Hmmm, something to take a look at.
It's during the smooth times though, ministering to others becomes a priority.
So glad God brought you and your family to Calvary. Blessings, Kelli Parisian
