MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE MARCH 2026 SERVE DAY!
Let's get the party started! Our sister church, United Outreach in Bossier, is throwing another block party, and they have asked us again for our help. We all had a great time partnering up together last time, and they are looking forward to another great day working together in fun and fellowship! Let's step up beside them as they step outside of their building to interact and impact their community. We'll need the cook team, snow cones, jump houses, games, drinks, cleanup, etc. Basically, we need the whole deal. So, mark your calendars, sign up here, and plan on joining us in encouraging them to step out and be “The Church.”

This six-week series, True & Better, examines the theological idea that Jesus is true, better, and greater than specific figures and events in the Old Testament. Through looking at the comparisons between Jesus and Moses, David, Job, Melchizedek, and the tabernacle, we can understand the importance of such figures and how Jesus fulfills and is greater than those truths of the Old Testament.
Jesus is greater than the tabernacle or the temple. In fact, those rituals of the Old Testament point to the person and work of Jesus. We will not seek God first and foremost in geographical locations, as if one place were more holy than another, but in the person of Christ.
SAVE THE DATE!!

The Old Testament was centered around a sacrificial system administered by priests. The high priest was essential for how the people related to God. Without a high priest, they would have no access to God. The author of Hebrews says that Jesus is the greatest high priest—more than any of the Aaronic line who were established by God to be the priest over Israel.
Throughout Hebrews there is a connection of Jesus to the first high priest, Melchizedek, “As he says also in another place, ‘You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.’ The writer is stressing that Jesus is like Melchizedek, who was before any of the law or priests from the line of Aaron. This is to stress that he isn’t just another prophet or administrator of rituals, but the ultimate, the greatest, the true High Priest to connect God to his people.
Let's Ride!!...
March 8th is the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are new to Open Road Fellowship, that's when we jump on our bikes and head out as a group right after church for a nice ride. It's an opportunity for us to grab some good food and enjoy some fellowship as we take some time to get to know one another. The direction we head is always an adventure but geared to provide a relaxing time out on the bikes. Invite your friends; maybe a nice ride might be what motivates them to come to church. Hey, and if you don't ride, don't let that stop you from enjoying the day...just hop in your car and follow along.
North, south, east, or west... no matter where we head, you are sure to enjoy the ride. So, come join us for our next 2nd Sunday ride!
Real Women, Real Worship, Real Word!
Mission: To encourage, equip, & empower women of any background to be sold out and surrendered to God.

We respect those figures who have paved the way for where we are today. They didn’t have a playbook to refer to, and we can respect that. Moses was a big deal in the Old Testament. He was the pioneer for God’s people and was respected. But when we move into the New Testament, we see that Jesus is greater than Moses—which for Moses probably wouldn’t be a surprise.
Building off of the Old Testament authority and works that came from Moses, Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is like Moses but even more. Moses was great … but Jesus is greater.

We live in a throwaway culture - a society where it is easy to use something once and throw it away to buy something new. We also live in a society that is driven by new technology. Give it eighteen months and what you are using or purchasing now will be replaced by the next upgrade. This mindset creates an idea that the new is better and the old is error filled and should be thrown away. We can have this same thought process between the New and Old Testaments: Jesus has given us a better covenant. Does that, then, denigrate God's revelation in the Old Testament? No. Saying Jesus is better or greater should not be interpreted that Moses has no value or that David is worthless.
So Jesus is better than the figures and events of the Old Testament, because He is the fulfillment, and the purpose points to Him and the redemption He brought. However, one cannot fully understand the significance of Jeusus without understanding the significance and importance of the figures and events of the Old Testament. The house of the gospel of Jesus is built on the foundation of the Old Testament. It is hard to have one without the other.
Serving on Sunday is great, but out in the community is where we are truly called to be. So, it's time to get out and on Saturday, February 21st, we will be heading down to Coushatta. We will have our next church-wide serve day at the Abbie Lane Pastor's Retreat Center, a place that has an impactful ministry in helping pastors rest and recover. We will help them out with various projects around the property as needed... the work doesn't matter - the blessing does.
