SEEING, BELIEVING & HAVING LIFE IN THE NAME OF JESUS
March 12 Looking Up: Humility in Suffering (Job) March 19 Looking Back: Humility in Sin (Peter) March 26 Looking Down: Humility in Community (Jesus)
With the rise of fake news and alternative facts, skepticism is at an all-time high in our world. Many people no longer know what to believe or who to trust. Truth is, people have always been skeptical - especially of things they can’t see or understand. That’s why one of Jesus’ apostles wrote about some of the many “signs” Jesus performed while here on earth. This sermon series will explore the nature and purpose of some of those miraculous “signs” which are included in John’s Gospel so that we might believe and “have life in his name” (John 20:31).

Notes
REFLECTIONS… Brenda Gordon
Last summer, after 25 years on the campus of Oklahoma Christian the decision was made to close Camp Impact. We have all loved Camp Impact and have celebrated our time there. We promised a new summer camp for the children completing 3rd – 5th grade. We are very excited to say that Camp Connect is HERE! The dates for Camp Connect are June 11 – 15 on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University. A lot of the same churches will be returning to be a part of Camp Connect. .Camp Connect will have outstanding classes and worship time for the campers along with service projects, crafts, games and swimming during the day. In the evenings, campers will spend time in worship, special activities and Connect Groups (by congregation). No visitors are allowed in camp, as Camp Connect has a strong security policy with a closed camp during the week. The camper-to-counselor ratio is 5:1 and campers will be with a counselor or teacher at all times. Cost for Camp Connect is $250 per camper and registration will open soon. The last day to register is May 17. Contact Dana or me if you have any questions.
