Life Groups: Deepening Discipleship, Empowering Disciples, Making Disciples

We are excited about the Life Group Ministry at SPUMC.  What is a Life Group?  A Life Group is a small group of individuals who are devoted to God and one another as they endeavor to deepen their discipleship of Jesus Christ, empower one another to become leaders in the Kingdom of God, and make disciples of Jesus Christ.  Life Groups are life engaging, life giving, and life transforming.  Most groups will launch during the week of September 21.  For more information, contact Chae Albright, calbright@nccumc.org.    

August 17th sermon

This Sunday's sermon is titled "God is in Control" based on Genesis 45:1-15.  How do we reconcile with those who have hurt us, especially those closest to us?  Reconciliation is possible when we realize that God is in Control, not us.  "What man meant for evil, God meant for good."  God is always working for the good, and can bring good out of any situation.  Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that God is in control.

80 Golfers in Tournament on Saturday

Sermon, Sunday, August 10

This week's sermon is titled "The Coat of Many Colors" based on Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28.  This is a story with all the dramatic parts: envy, conspiracy, conflict, sibling rivalry, deception, despair and more.  As Joseph's coat has many colors, this story has many different shades of truth depending upon the view of each in the account.  Even when those closest to us turn against us and everything is going against us, God can bring good out of it.  What others mean for bad, God means for good.
