Topic: “The Morning Dew”
Speaker: Jim Lloyd
Date: Jan. 19th, 2020
Text: Hosea 6:4 (NASB):
4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O Judah?
For your loyalty is like a morning cloud
And like the dew which goes away early.
Topic: “Traditions – The Bad & The Good”

Text: Matthew 15: 1-9 (NASB):
1About this time some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem. They asked Jesus, 2“Why don’t your disciples obey what our ancestors taught us to do? They don’t even wash their hands before they eat.”
3Jesus answered:
Why do you disobey God and follow your own teaching? 4Didn’t God command you to respect your father and mother? Didn’t he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents? 5But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they have has been offered to God. 6Is this any way to show respect to your parents? You ignore God’s commands in order to follow your own teaching. 7And you are nothing but show-offs! Isaiah the prophet was right when he wrote that God had said,
8 “All of you praise me
with your words,
but you never really
think about me.
9It is useless for you
to worship me,
when you teach rules
made up by humans.”
Topic: ““Downward Mobility”
Speaker: Jim Lloyd
Date: Jan. 5th, 2020
Text: Philippians 2: 5-11 (NASB):
5and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought:
6Christ was truly God.
But he did not try to remain
equal with God.
7Instead he gave up everything
and became a slave,
when he became
like one of us.
8Christ was humble.
He obeyed God and even died
on a cross.
9Then God gave Christ
the highest place
and honored his name
above all others.
10 So at the name of Jesus
everyone will bow down,
those in heaven, on earth,
and under the earth.
11And to the glory
of God the Father
everyone will openly agree,
“Jesus Christ is Lord!”
Topic: “We Have Seen His Glory”
Speaker: Corey Schissler
Date: Dec. 29th, 2019
Text: Psalm 8: 1-5 (NASB):
1Our Lord and Ruler,
your name is wonderful
everywhere on earth!
You let your glory be seen
in the heavens above.
2 With praises from children
and from tiny infants,
you have built a fortress.
It makes your enemies silent,
and all who turn against you
are left speechless.
3I often think of the heavens
your hands have made,
and of the moon and stars
you put in place.
4 Then I ask, “Why do you care
about us humans?
Why are you concerned
for us weaklings?”
5 You made us a little lower
than you yourself,
and you have crowned us
with glory and honor.
6 You let us rule everything
your hands have made.
And you put all of it
under our power—
7the sheep and the cattle,
and every wild animal,
8the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea,
and all ocean creatures.
Topic: ““Jesus, the Prince of Peace””
Speaker:Reuben Lacuata
Date: Dec. 22nd, 2019
Text: Isaiah 9:6 (NASB):
6A child has been born for us.
We have been given a son
who will be our ruler.
His names will be
Wonderful Advisor
and Mighty God,
Eternal Father
and Prince of Peace.
Topic: “Waiting”
Speaker: Jim Lloyd
Date: 12-15-19
Text: Romans 8: 19-25 (NASB):
19In fact, all creation is eagerly waiting for God to show who his children are. 20 Meanwhile, creation is confused, but not because it wants to be confused. God made it this way in the hope 21that creation would be set free from decay and would share in the glorious freedom of his children. 22We know that all creation is still groaning and is in pain, like a woman about to give birth.
23 The Spirit makes us sure about what we will be in the future. But now we groan silently, while we wait for God to show that we are his children. This means that our bodies will also be set free. 24And this hope is what saves us. But if we already have what we hope for, there is no need to keep on hoping. 25However, we hope for something we have not yet seen, and we patiently wait for it.
