RISING ABOVE DISAPPOINTMENT - CHUCK SWINDOLL
WHAT HAPPENS THAT causes you to be disappointed? Someone or something has failed to fulfill your expectations. You had set up in your mind and then anticipated a certain outcome or response, but it never materialized. Your wish fell flat. Your desire became an empty, unfulfilled dream. Such feelings of disappointment are painfully familiar. As I play the record of my memory, I hear several sad songs from different voices:
"I'm not happy in my work. When I got the job I never realized it would be like this."
"Marriage has become a drag! And on our wedding day I thought it would be so different. It's nothing like that."
"She was once a friend of mine. I helped her, loved her, and gave myself to her. I thought she would respond the same way to me."
"We had them over for dinner more than once, and they never did reciprocate. We didn't even get a thank-you note. Talk about a disappointment!"

"We had them over for dinner more than once, and they never did reciprocate. We didn't even get a thank-you note. Talk about a disappointment!"
Some examples you could offer would register as even more serious and painful than these. But we don't have to wallow in the cave of discouragement. There is a way to rise above such times and experience the goodness of God. Listen to the psalmist work his way out of the pit:
Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God! PSALM 42:5-6
Notice the psalmist didn't deny his disappointment. But he had a predetermined strategy for rising above it to find his hope in God. What a terrific help that is, don't you agree? Let's determine not to let our disappointments define us. To refuse to allow the inevitability of tough times to pin us down in discouragement. Turn to the God of heaven. Lift your thoughts toward Him. When you are most discouraged, remember Him and all He has done for you this year.

Teaching
We take a systematic approach to the scriptures.
On Sunday mornings we teach through the New Testament - book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
On Wednesday nights we are going through the Old Testament. Wednesday nights are more laid back, questions are asked, people have an opportunity to respond.

Worship
First thing you will notice with the singing portion of our service is that we have the children with their parents. We want the children to learn to worship as a family. The songs we sing are generally contemporary with an occasional hymn thrown in.
Kids & Youth
Children begin their time with us with their parents for the first two songs. We do have nursery available at the beginning if you need to take advantage of it. Once the singing is done, the kids are dismissed and will be met by the teachers at the back doors of the sanctuary.
At this time we do not have a Youth Ministry. The youth we have participate with Oasis Youth Ministries during the week. On Sunday mornings, the youth remain in the sanctuary where they will learn the Word of God with the adults.

Attire
Some come in every day clothing and others may come dressed up. We don't want you to stress about what to wear, we just want you to come and worship Jesus.
