Grace Walk

In case you haven’t noticed the posters around here, Grace Walk Ministries Canada is coming to FFAC. Mike Zenker is the seminar speaker as well as our guest speaker on the weekend of Friday-Sunday January 15, 16 and 17. Here are some excerpts from the Grace Walk website. “Our ministry is a teaching and training ministry which exists for the purpose of sharing the life of Jesus Christ with others and to help Christians discover the freedom of their new life in Christ.”

Wow, it’s the 3rd day of 2010 already! It’s not too late to try to develop new and good habits. Start with these three suggestions: (1) Read your Bible through cover-to-cover for the year, (2) exercise aerobically for half an hour 4-5 times weekly and (3) pray/journal for a solid 15 minutes daily. It’s a small investment of a little over an hour daily. Yet, the dividends (payback, profit) to your quality of life are priceless.

In just barely four days, the year 2009 will be history. It’s time to look back at what the Lord has done in your life, in our church family, in our city, in our country and in our world.

In case all the activities behind gift giving, festivities and parties are beginning to dampen your anticipation of Christmas, here’s something to think about. Have you ever wondered what it cost God to send Jesus to become one of us? Try this.

Okay, so this is more than 2 weeks early, but today is the FFAC Church Family’s Christmas party. We wish to give a warm welcome especially to our invited guests and friends here, near and in far-away places.

Thanks for reading "Heartbeat" - a weekly article printed in our Sunday bulletin and emailed to our friends and partners in our circulation list. Here is FFAC's pulse in dateline format:

Read: Matthew 5:1-16

In our world that is so consumed with acting as entertainment, it is so important that we distinguish between professional acting and what I would call real life acting. In the contexts of big screen, television and the internet world, ‘image’ becomes so important.
