Fellowship Dinner Hosts Sign-Up

For whatever reason, I haven't been able to modify our website since our home computer "crashed" and I haven't had a particular browser. Anyway, I have a new computer now and wanted to post our Fellowship Dinner Hosts List that Lisa Stover gave me, oh, 2-3 weeks ago!! It has to be on this blog rather than on the actual website for now until I, with God's help, get it figured out. Lisa, if you're reading this, I'm very sorry that I haven't posted this sooner. --Jennifer Walch

God's Covenant With Us

I've been watching a dvd series from Creflo Dollar, a preacher out of Tennessee, that has just really inspired me. This particular series is about God's covenant with us, which started with Abraham, and is known as the Abrahamic covenant. God came to Abraham and promised him that He would be his "abundant compensation," (Genesis 16) his God, his everything. A covenant is more than a contract...God will NEVER go back on His word. Whatever He promises in His word, He WILL do. Because we are seeds of Abraham, if we are in Christ and born again, we are heirs to the same inheritance as promised to Abraham. WE are the other half of the covenant. Because of this, we have to understand that God will give us what we are heirs to, all the promises of the Bible...He has to, He promised. BUT we have to have the same faith that Abraham had...he was "fully persuaded" (Romans 4) that God would deliver. If we are not fully persuaded, if we do not have faith without doubting, (our half of the covenant) then God cannot work with us through the covenant. God is doing His part...it's you and I that aren't. This is why things don't happen in our lives the way we hope. We try to work things out on our own even if we say we believe...trying to "help God out."
I highly recommend this series and believe that it will change you, strengthen you. God is truly able to perform what He says.
