The Holy Spirit Sermon Series

The Holy Spirit sometimes seems to be the neglected one of the Trinity.  We speak and teach of him less than the Father and the Son and therefore hinder our relationship with God.

This five-week series is to explore the Holy Spirit and to come to know him more fully through Scripture and experience.

Is the Church missing out on the presence of God?  Is there an incompleteness in the walk of the followers of Christ because they simply have forgotten they are walking with the Spirit of God?

May 7  The promised person.

May 14 Gaining Strength in the Spirit

May 21 Led by the Spirit

May 28 Fruit of the Spirit

June 4 Gifts from the Spirit

 

June 11 – LARRY SCHUH, guest speaker

The Shack

Pleasant Chapel will have a special series based upon the movie and book The Shack.  The sermon series will begin Sunday March 12th and continue through April 9th.  There are several copies of the book in the church if you would like to borrow one to read.  The movie premieres March 3rd and show times and locations are listed below.

I think it would be great to get groups together to go see the movie.  I think also this is a wonderful opportunity to invite friends to the movie and then to church for this series.

Daily Bible Series

 

Several at Pleasant Chapel have committed to reading this book in 2017.  That is very exciting!  We are going to use the scheduled reading as a guide for the next few Sunday messages.  The over-all theme is “Developing a People”. We will begin as Genesis comes to a close and then follow along with the story of Israel as she grows into the nation God has called her to be.

Jan 22 – Kind of a Dysfunctional Family
Jan 29 – Egypt’s Exit
Feb 5  –  How shall we worship
Feb 12 – Journey: Faith or Fear?
Feb 19 – Moses’ Farewell Tour
Feb 26 – Feasts and Offerings
Mar 5 – Cursed Bodies on a tree and Lent

Creeds

Creeds, Confessions, Affirmations. Churches for years have recited creeds and other declarations of faith as part of their practice of worship.
Many have memorized creeds as part of a confirmation class or membership class. What are these creeds, where did they come from and what does this have to do with what “I believe”? Let’s take a
few weeks and talk just about that! We will revisit creeds Jan 8 and Jan 15 – believe me! Hope to see you there.

Chronological Daily Bible

chrono

Need a gift idea? Maybe a new year’s resolution idea? This Bible is arranged chronologically and is divided into 365 segments to complete in one year. Being chronological (the order of the traditional Bible skips around in time) helps in understanding and reveals more of the big picture of Scripture.
This would be great for individual reading or could be used for a small group.

I’ve led several small groups through this year study (meeting once a week) and it was a great experience. Think about this: you could use this, read about 20 min. per day and in a year you could say you have read the entire Bible!

Amazon has them for around $22.
