A Message from Pastor Kevin Dibbey

A Message from Pastor Kevin Dibbey

"Confident Christianity" | Acts 19:1-20

This Sunday, our sermon is titled Confident Christianity. One of the most compelling qualities of the apostle Paul is his unshakable confidence that God’s purposes will never fail—that God’s plan for His people and His mission to the nations cannot be thwarted. Writing to the deeply troubled church in Corinth, Paul boldly declares that Jesus “will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” That promise is given to a church riddled with moral and relational dysfunction—yet Paul is utterly confident in God’s faithfulness.

From a Roman prison, with the real possibility of death looming, Paul writes to the Philippians, “I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” He continues, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me,” and concludes with the triumphant assurance, “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” This is prison-born optimism. Death-defying hope. Gospel-driven confidence.

Do you have this kind of confidence—for yourself, for the church, and for our calling in the world? In Acts 19:1–20, we will see where true Christian confidence is forged. Let’s pray that God’s Word would prevail among us, filling our hearts with hope and grounding our minds in gospel truth. If your faith needs strengthening or your passion for God needs rekindling, this passage reminds us that if God is for us, nothing and no one can stand against us.

See you Sunday—and bring a friend who could use encouragement in their faith.

Grab your boots, bundle up, and join us on the ice!
 
Men of all ages are invited to a laid-back ice fishing event focused on fellowship, food, fun, and faith. Whether you’re an experienced angler or have never drilled a hole before, this is a chance to connect with other men, enjoy God’s creation, and build meaningful relationships. Come for the fishing and stay for the brotherhood.  

And if fishing isn't your thing, that's fine, come enjoy the fellowship.

Please bring a dish to share.

Dinners of Eight

Dinners of Eight

We are planning an event for our adults to meet, get to know one another better and enjoy an encouraging evening of fellowship!   A number of families have agreed to host a group of 8 in their homes and will prepare a main course.  

Once people have signed up, we will organize groups (based on geographic location as much as possible). The host will contact you to bring a side dish, salad or dessert or some sort to round out the meal.

First come, first served!  Sign up deadline Sunday February 8th.  Please click here, fill out the requested information and submit.  You will be contacted after February 8th with information on who will be hosting you and more details.

Note:  some of our hosts can accommodate young children and we may be able to work with food allergies and preferences in some cases as well.  You will be asked about these things when you fill out the form.

Meal Support Needed

During this Christmas season, we have the opportunity to come alongside one of our church family members, Duane Bagdons,  who would be blessed by help with meals. Providing a meal is a simple but meaningful way to show Christ’s love and care.

If you are able to prepare and deliver a meal in the coming days, it would be a great encouragement. Whether homemade or store-bought, every gift is appreciated.

Thank you for considering how you might serve in this practical way during a busy season. Sign up here if you can help.

We Need Help from You!

We're going to be running weekly facebook ads starting in January to reach out to our neighbors in Victoria.  We'll be inviting them to visit Waterbrooke.  

As part of each ad, we'd like to include a brief (2-3 sentence) testimonial from someone who attends church - a different person each week.

Please click on this link to watch a brief video describing what we're doing and why.  In this video, you'll meet Kenneta, who is collecting the testimonials after each service for the next few weeks.
