In our Relational Harmony series we talked about the parent child relationship. It’s pretty simple. Children obey and honor your parents. Parents teach and correct your children and don’t exasperate them. Simple in words but sometimes difficult in practice. Why? Because anytime you deal with people you have to deal with different personalities, a self will and a sin nature. In other words, it’s gonna get dicey. It takes a lot of patience and an incredible amount of love. Also, we have the added advantage of prayer. Don’t forget to pray for your children. Pray for their heart to be right with God. If their heart is right then their actions will follow.

Sunday was probably our biggest attendance since we moved into the Downtown Conference Center. We had several new faces. Keep inviting your friends and family! The Kidz Rock kids were in the worship service. We figured if we were going to address the parent child relationship then it would be best if we had the kids present. A special thanks to Micah and Masey for doing the motions to “Every Move I Make.” As a congregation, however, we need to work on our synchronized movement.

The Youth participated int he D-Now weekend at West Hills Church and had a blast. I must admit the speaker was one of the better youth speakers I have heard. He was extremely funny but his humor would open the door for incredible spiritual truth. Thanks to all the adults who helped out. I hope your homes recover. Also, thanks to Alyssa, Virginia, Chad and Phillip for doing a great job leading group discussion and shepherding the youth.

We are really looking forward to this coming Sunday night, February 27. Scott and Lisa Beasley will be with us for our Night of Marriage. Ticket sales have been awesome! The evening will be well worth your investment. Atlanta’s Finest is going to cater the meal. I can’t wait.

We continued our Relational Harmony series on Sunday. The topic was how a husband ought to love his wife. The Bible really has some great stuff to say when it comes to marriage. Unfortunately, it does us no good if we don’t put it into practice. Hopefully, there will be a lot of practicing going on this week.

Our Ladies’ Ministry had another luncheon on Saturday. Approximately 30 ladies came and received some awesome encouragement. A special thanks goes out to Ginny and Dolly. This mother and daughter combination are doing a great job.

Also, don’t forget the upcoming Night of Marriage on February 27. Scott and Lisa Beasley will be our speakers and childcare will be provided. You will thoroughly enjoy this evening so if you don’t have your tickets you can buy them this Sunday at the Information Table.

This Sunday we will look at Relational Harmony in the parent child relationship. You will want to have your teenagers in the service. It will definitely give them something to think about. Also, parents will be encouraged. See you Sunday.

We began our new series “Relational Harmony.” The topic was submission of wives to their husbands. I wish I could word it a little bit better than that but the Bible puts it pretty straight forward. We had a great crowd and nobody got hurt after the message. Wow! Seriously, the Bible contains God’s Word for relationships. His advice works because He’s the one that created us. Submission is an act of the will. A husband can not demand that his wife follow his leadership. It is a decision she makes out of her desire to honor God. Next week we will look at a husband’s responsibility to love his wife. So, wives make sure your husbands don’t have an unexpected hunting or fishing trip. They need to be there this Sunday.

We are beginning a four-part series called “Relational Harmony.” This Sunday we will look at Colossians 3:18, “Wives submit to your own husbands as is fitting to the Lord.” This is a loaded verse and to top it off it is Super Bowl Sunday. Some would think that speaking on wives submitting themselves to their husbands on Super Bowl Sunday is a man’s dream. Others would think it is crazy. However, it is an opportunity to look at a passage of Scripture that is often misapplied or ignored. As a church we value truth. To ignore truth is dangerous. To misapply truth is hazardous. So, make plans to be at the Downtown Conference Center at 10:00 am on Sunday and you might be surprised what you hear.
