Philippians 3:13, 14
“I focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking FORWARD to what lies ahead. I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God through Christ Jesus is calling us.”

Mission Focus: We are a group of men and women who are committed to moving FORWARD with Jesus Christ and passing our faith on to the next generation! There is a cry for “spiritual parenting,” and we are intentional in helping to meet that call both inside and outside the church.

Current Ministries: International students, international physicians, young couples, singles, the elderly, and the students/faculty of North Highlands Elementary through Whiz Kids (www.whizkidsok.org)

Join us this week as we begin our study in the gospel of John.  This Sunday we will look at the powerful description of Jesus through his close friend and disciple, John, in the first chapter of his gospel.  ”The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” - vs. 14.  This truth and these words have changed the life of everyone that has ever lived and anyone that ever will live!  God came near and bestowed the mystery of the gospel-the good news-upon us.  As we gather this week, we will hear again about when Heaven invaded earth and changed everything because of it.

DETAILS:  We will meet at Ashley’s apartment at 1 pm.  Her address is 324 E. 91^st Apt 15 (between 1^st and 2^nd Ave).  Nearby transportation includes the green subway line, bus 15, or bus 102.  Food will be provided so come hungry!

Just before the November elections, the Oklahoma wind came sweeping down Hefner road and tried to take our Bridgeway sign with it! For safety we had to dismantle the entire sign, but rest assured a new one is coming soon!

Tonight at house church I shared that I believe God has some good things stashed within the gospel of John for us to be revealed over the next several weeks.  With the celebration of Christ’s birth coming quickly next month, I think we can benefit from John’s intimate insights into who Jesus was (and is) as a means to prepare our hearts for the Christmas celebration.  God came near through his son, Jesus.  God came near and everything changed.  God came near and I am changed because of his intimate closeness to me.

I shared a snapshot of certain passages in John that have been particularly significant to me in my walk with God as a means to whet our appetites for the rich truths tucked away in John’s gospel.  I will reiterate those here for anyone that was not able to be with us, and for those that were there to peruse through them over the coming weeks to see if they help stir any desire to dive into them more deeply.  As I said to the group tonight, let me know if your heart is stirred to share anything God may impart as you meditate on John’s good news.  Enjoy!
