Worship This Sunday: Break out of the huddle … with the right priorities. We live in a world where we just got to have the things that aren’t really going to last. Often, the things that will truly impact and change the world we don’t have time for. Break out of the huddle and listen to Jesus as he teaches us to make decisions and choices that are in line with the right priority. We worship at 10:00 AM at the Phi Delta Kappa Banquet Hall located at 11311 Phi Delt Way, Odessa, 33556. Children’s Sunday School is offered after worship on Sunday!
Thank Offerings: The Bible says, “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.” –Proverbs 3:9. God wants us to give of our first and the best of the resources he provides for us.

Stewardship Challenge: What does a God-lived life look like? It looks like Jesus. God became man and lived life in our place. Christ lived the perfect God-lived life. Living as a Christian, a little Christ, we have the privilege of demonstrating what God looks like in how we live our lives, in living lives that show God. NEXT WEEK we will begin a special stewardship challenge. God’s Word will be challenging us, and we’ll be challenging one another to live a God-lived life. And that encompasses everything. We will be talking about a life of being a disciple, a life lived for others, a life of hospitality, and a life lived shrewdly. Join us as we challenge ourselves to put God’s Word into practice
