Saturday, January 30th, 2010Atmosphere and Haiti
Saturday, January 16th, 2010
Galatians 6.10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
With the tragedy that struck this past Tuesday in Haiti, Atmosphere is taking some action. We hope that you have been praying for the people in Haiti, the workers, and that God would pour out relief and support upon the people who are there suffering. Haiti is already the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, with 80% of the people below the poverty line, and with this earthquake they are now left nothing. What can we do thousands of miles away? How can we help? What can a youth ministry from Maine do? Here are some things we are doing!
What are we doing? There are a couple different things we are doing.
Giving: This weekend all the money that is giving during the Atmosphere service will be given to help the relief efforts in Haiti. Our goal is to raise $1,000.00 this weekend (Jan 16th & 17th) that is almost 10x our normal giving.
Praying: Tonight we will spend an extended amount of time in prayer for the people in Haiti. But since this tragedy is not just going to go away over night, for the next month we will spend time in prayer at both Atmosphere services for the people of Haiti the workers, and the Gospel to go forth.
Connecting: We are going to have a page on the site connecting you to different ministries that are helping in Haiti, because we know that there is extreme need we want you to pray about giving even more, these links will help you do that.
Going?: We are prayerfully considering putting a team together to go to Haiti. Now don’t get all excited, this team would go down in a year or so. After all the craziness of going has died down there will still be much to be done. We are praying about leading a team down in 2011. Pray with us.
Why?: Our motivation comes from what Jesus did on the cross for us. Right now there are thousands of people who have nothing, and we sit here with everything. 2 Cor. 8.9 says “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” We give because He gave; we pray because He is praying; we connect because He connected with us and we go because He came.
Prepare your Soul 1.2.10
Friday, January 1st, 2010As we finish up the book of Galatians this weekend (weather pending*) we not only have a chance to reflect on what God has spoken to us in the past 5 months of this series, but we also are stepping into a new year and decade. In the final verses of Galatians Paul recaps the whole of the book. With the main point coming in vs 14. As we read through this may we ask ourselves where our boast is.
Galatians 6.14: But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
There are so many different things we may boast in in our lives, but none of them compare to the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
What have you boasted in in 2009? What are you planning on boasting in in 2010?

Prepare Your Soul – 11.27.09
Saturday, November 28th, 2009As we finish up the fifth chapter of Galatians this weekend we are struck head on with a heart assessment. Paul moves from theological argument to heart and life argument. Look at this passage and asses your heart. Do you do the things you wish you would stop doing? Are your actions not in line with your heart?
Galatians 5.17 “For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.”
The reason is there is a war inside of you. Allow the Spirit to move in your heart and mind.
Seeaya this weekend!

Weekend Reflections
Monday, November 23rd, 2009After preaching this past weekend here are a couple thoughts I had, call them overflow if you will.
- My heart wants to do things on its own
- My mind wants to do things on it own
- My actions tend to be ‘I’ve got this, no need for Him’
- We all need Jesus’ grace no matter how long we have been a Christian
- The cross is still needed after our conversion
- I’m either full of pride or guilt because I look at myself, NOT Jesus
- Jesus says that He completed it all for me
- On the cross Jesus did not say ‘now go do your best’ NO He said ‘it is finished’
- Jesus calls us to give Him glory
- With all this said we need to stay close to the cross
What about you? Did God speak to your heart? What was He saying? Where is He leading you?
Let’s Chat…
