Bringing Scripture to Life

This year there will be more than a billion people celebrating Christmas -- from unwrapping gifts to attending Candlelight services, singing Christmas carols and taking in the savory smell of cedar and incense. This has been the scene that has been experienced by billions of people across the country all month long. In addition, there have been credit cards pushed to the max, tempers flaring to the fullest amongst shoppers, road rage as we race to get the closest parking spot and the occasional “Merry Christmas” -- when it is safe for those who care to proclaim it. It is as if from the moment we are finished celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday to the time Black Friday begins, some type of powerful, impatient, pushy, consumeristic monster overtakes the masses, up until the last department store closes on December 24 of every year. We then wake up Christmas morning with a new attitude, and are determined to experience the holiday glee, basking in the joy of giving and receivin

Please join us for a special time of worship this Sunday, Christmas morning at 9:15am.   We will be spending time singing Christmas Carol Worship songs, and looking at a special Christmas message as to why this day should bring us so much excitement.

This message is from Mark 4, and is titled "The Perfect Storm", because the storm that Jesus and His disciples find themselves in, is a PERFECT storm to show us how Jesus is always with us during the difficult times in life. This storm is also a PERFECT way to show us how we are supposed to respond when we are going through difficulties.

DESPAIR: "The complete loss or absence of hope."  Do you know anyone whose life resembles this right now? Do you struggle at times with this type of despair? If so, please Join us at The Church at Promenade tomorrow morning at 9:15 am, as we look at an important message from God's Word that will give you hope in your current situation, and purpose for your future.

Good Morning Church Family, We wanted to remind you that we will be having a Christmas Service at The Church at Promenade on December 25, to celebrate the fact that God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son.  We hope you will join us as we worship with Christmas Carols, and celebrate the birth of our Savior through the Scriptures. On Christmas Sunday the children will be in church with the big kids, to celebrate together. Please invite your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.  We hope to see you at Church on Christmas Sunday! _________________ The Church at Promenade in the movie theaters www.ChurchatPromenade.com (951) 302-7933

There is no greater thing we can pursue in life, and receive such an amazing blessing and reward for, than pursuing God and loving Jesus! This morning in my alone time with God, the Lord was moving upon my heart and I hope that as you read this, you will be just as blessed and inspired as I was when He was speaking to me. In my alone time today I was reading through Psalm 50:23, and it says, " Whoever offers praise glorifies Me : and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God". I was thinking about how important it is for us to "offer praise" to God in our life so that we can bring Him glory. As  I was meditating upon this idea, I thought of 2 key areas in my life, and in your life where we can be purposeful about glorifying God by offering Him praise. 1. In the way we live our life each day for God's purposes and not our own. Jesus says, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify you
