Last Minute Change/Cancellation

2011-12-07T12:17:00.000-05:00

Please pray for the Britt's. They were unable to close on their new home today. They will be able to close next week, but as you know, they were planning on moving in TONIGHT!

We will be cancelling the scheduled move-in, and also the meeting tomorrow night as Jim and Corri will need to fly home tomorrow.

As you can imagine, this is frustrating and discouraging for the Britt's...please pray for God's protection over them as they make adjustments and reschedule their move.

Sovereign Grace Church Plant Meeting

2011-07-19T09:10:00.000-04:00

We are reaching out to you as someone who has a passion for God’s glory, the local Church and the lost. There have been scores of people over the past few years who have expressed a desire to have a new, gospel centered, biblically sound and passionate church plant in the Melbourne area. Toward this end, Sovereign Grace Ministries is currently investigating the feasibility of planting a church in Melbourne. At this time, Sovereign Grace is simply looking into this possibility and trying to discern both the desire of a local body of believers and God’s leading.

On Wednesday, August 3rd , we will be meeting with Aron Osborne and Matt Rawlings with Sovereign Grace Ministries. Aron Osborne will be hosting the meeting as the Southeast Regional Team Leader for Sovereign Grace Ministries. In this role, he provides pastoral care and oversight for all of the Sovereign Grace Ministries churches from South Carolina down to the Caribbean.

Matt Rawlings is a pastor who has been in ministry since graduating from the Pastors College in 1999. He has been approved in the process that Sovereign Grace Ministries has to evaluate a church planter's character, capacity and gifting and believes that the Lord has called him to lead a church now. Matt is passionate about church members being, growing and making disciples of Jesus Christ.

This is in no way any kind of commitment to a church plant, but simply an interest meeting. This is a casual event and refreshments will be provided. If you are not able to make it, but are still interested in a potential church plant, please email or call me at 321-626-9535 to get the updates on the possible plant.

(For a quick look at all the details, look to the right in the sidebar.)

God is the Gospel

2010-09-07T16:08:00.000-04:00

The critical question for our generation - and for every generation - is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties
you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there?

John Piper, God is the Gospel
We've started a video series in our small group entitled "God is the Gospel." It's a six week series that includes homework (reading and a study guide), and discussion questions. Please download the book and the study guide from the website www.desiringgod.org so that you can be prepared for discussions, and, as a bonus, challenged and encouraged throughout this series!
