This past week, President Obama made a highly controversial decision on a current topic in our society, sighting his conversations with family, friends and co-workers leading him to this decision.  Input from others is great (even Biblical), but what is the ultimate authority on all matters for someone who is a Christ follower?  Scott tackles this question in this week’s message.

This month is our Missions Emphasis Month!  We’ll be talking about Christ’s passion for us to reach our community, our nation, and our world.  Missions is just as much about reaching our community as it is reaching around the world!  It’s all in ACTS 1:8…

1 Thessalonians 5:23 speaks to the fact that each one of us are made up of 3 different areas:  Spirit, Soul, and Body; all fighting for control of our lives!  Being led by our spirit is absolutely key in living a life full of the supernatural!  This message speaks to this, as well as our need to be people of action!

Supernatural Action 1-15-12 (notes)

In this message, Scott explains what supernatural faith looks like.  Faith is the catalyst to seeing the supernatural in your life!  Step out in faith and give God a chance to stretch you.

Supernatural Faith 1-8-12 (notes)

In this vision message, which also kicks off our new SUPER-NATURAL series, Scott takes us to 1 Corinthians 2:1-5.  The Apostle Paul didn’t come to Corinth with great eloquence or superior wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit’s power.  That’s the same call for Pathway!  Listen on and be encouraged!

Supernatural Church 1-1-12 (notes)

One of the most profound things about Mary the mother of Jesus was her faith.  She possessed a simple faith that allowed her to fulfill God’s call for her life!  Listen and be encouraged…

This January we are diving into some thoughts on the Supernatural!  Not so much angels and demon’s supernatural (though we believe in all of that), but the supernatural being lived out in our everday lives!  We are going to talk about how the supernatural happens when we bring our natural to God, and ask Him to add His Super to it!  We know it sounds kind of cheesy, but that’s the season we’re in here at Pathway!  The season of the Super-Natural, MORE THAN ENOUGH!

Did you know God spoke four times to Joseph, the dad of Jesus, via a dream?  In this message, Scott teaches on what we can learn from each one of these words!

Joseph 12-18-11 (Notes)

This is the year of the Super-natural.  We can live in the natural easy enough, it takes very little effort.  But the Super-natural is where God is calling us to live!  Supernatural faith!  Supernatural provision!  Supernatural love!  Supernatural joy!  All of it!  As we enter the new year, let’s ask and believe together that God is going to bring us into the Supernatural as a church!

In place of our regular Sunday morning service on December 25th (Christmas morning), we will have a 4pm-5:15pm Christmas Eve service, Saturday evening, December 24th.  Plan on being a part of this great service as we sing Christmas Songs and hear the story of Mary and Jesus! 

Plan on spending Christmas morning worshiping with your immediate family in place of our regular worship service.  Don’t leave Jesus out of your Christmas morning!

This week, Scott talks about the other woman of the Christmas story – Elizabeth!  Of all the people Mary could have gone and spent 3 month with, why did she choose Elizabeth?

This week Scott kicked off our new Christmas series!  In this message, Scott talked about King Herod and what we can learn from his reaction to Christ.  Take a few minutes to listen/watch!

Herod 12-4-11 (Notes)

This December we’ll be taking a look at several of the ‘Characters of Christmas.’  What was it like for King Herod to live through this time?  What about Elizabeth, what was her take on being pregnant at the same time as Mary?  Speaking of Mary, if we could put ourselves in the shoes of both Mary and Joseph, what memories would we have of Jesus’ birth and life? 

It’s going to be a challenging series that takes us all the way through our Christmas Eve Service (Dec. 24th of course!).

In this last message in this series, Scott takes a few moments to discuss the different seasons of provision.  There are seasons of enough, and seasons of more than enough!  Each season has a purpose in your life.  Listen as Scott and Megan take time to share a prophetic word at the end of this message.

It is so easy to get sucked in by the thought that there is no hope for my needs/dreams to ever be met!  You have dreams/goals that are in your heart to do, but you have no hope that anything will ever come from them!

In this next message series, Scott is going to share from Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.  You know your hope should be in Christ, so let’s realign our hearts with the Word on this!

A group from Pathway will be flying out January 28^th, returning February 4^th, to Titanyen, Haiti!  They will be working with one of our church’s strategic missions partners, Mission of Hope (MOH).    

MOH is an organization that is involved in all aspects of ministry to the Haitian people:  Orphanage, rebuilding of homes, hospital, churches, education, etc.  The vision statement for MOH says exactly the heart of what they are all about:

As an organization following Jesus Christ, Mission of Hope exists to bring life transformation to every man, woman, and child in Haiti. We desire to serve the nation of Haiti, and see lives changed.

When you have a minute, head to their website (www.mohhaiti.org) to read about what they are doing! 

Our team will be going down to do a multitude of things.  Some of us will be working on houses, others will be working on medical teams, while others will simply be loving on the orphans as we visit them throughout the week.

Know someone who is going and you’d like to help?  You can now click on the giving link on the right side of this page (or click here), and give using a debit/credit card via PayPal.  When you’re given the option, be sure to make note that your gift is for the ‘Haiti Trip,’ and mention the name of the person you’re giving for.  Pathway will then receipt you for your giving at the end of the year as your gift will be tax exempt. 

Thanks for your help!  We’ve posted a video of last years trip below if you would like to see some of what we’ll experience.

We’re gearing up for our next installment of Pathway 2 Leadership (P2L) on Oct 26, Nov 2, and Nov 9, 6:30pm-8:30pm.  We invite you to join us this round as we have a bit of an apologetics theme, dealing with subjects such as:

• Do you ever doubt your faith?
• How could a loving God ever send someone to hell?
• Is Christ really the only way? 
• Is the Bible trustworthy?

Pick up a text book (The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel) at the Welcome Center this week for $10, and start digging in!  There will be no text study guide this round, but be sure to read the book before the first class.  Childcare will be provided, we just need to know if you need it!  Let us know if you’ll be a part of this class by emailing us right now at office@pathwayag.com, or on your yellow Welcome Card this week!  For more information, watch the following video…

We will meet the first Friday morning of every month for a playgroup, and the third Tuesday evening of the month (without the kids) where we will have a speaker, discussion, crafts, coffee, and snacks. All meetings will take place at Pathway Assembly of God (next to Northridge High School). 

You have one of the most important jobs in the world… come receive the support you need!
