This Series, God of Second Chances, looks at stories in the Bible in which God gives people second chances, and it invites us to reflect on God's mercy, patience, and loving character.
We are not bound to the decisions we make out of fear. God restores us no matter what we have done. We must be willing to turn back and trust Him.
We never know how God will use the situation. Sometimes we must be open to the way God will change others, which will then lead to a change in our own lives. God's providence opened the door for restoration by allowing Paul and Onesimus to be together after the breach of trust between Onesimus and Philemon. Providence is a key attribute of God because it points us to the way God will accomplish His great goal of restoration for al who will respond accordingly.
Let's Ride!!...
January 11th 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!

Jesus's willingness to restore Peter speaks to God's long-suffering nature. We sometimes must be reminded that God never stops loving us, even when we fail to love Him fully. We forget that we aren't capable of loving as God does, and as a result, we live as our version of God's love and God's actual love are the same thing. Peter's story reminds us that God's love for us is limitless, without end. He can and will restore all who trust that love to be enough.

This Series, God of Second Chances, looks at stories in the Bible in which God gives people second chances, and it invites us to reflect on God's mercy, patience, and loving character.
God's mercy is always available, even when the sins we commit have such big consequences. Throughout 2 Samuel 11, we see David makins a series of choices with greater and greater implications. With each decision, we see his descent growing darker. At each turn, David can correct his course, but he fails to do so.
It's easy to forget the ways God has provided for us and begin to assert ourselves as deserving of something God has cautioned us against and even forbidden. We will all struggle to keep our hearts aligned with God's plan, but we know his love for us is deep and without reservation. When we realize we have chosen our desires over His, we must turn from that path and return to Him with confidence.
It's the 1st Sunday of the month... it's time for our Food & Clothing Drive. We can't feed everybody, we're not a homeless shelter, we're not even a food pantry... but we can partner with other ministries to help them accomplish their tasks in what God has called them to do.
This Sunday, bring in a bag of non-perishable food items. We are making a difference in people's lives that are down and out. It may be you one day needing just a little bit of help. Also, go through your closets and look for those clothes that don't fit anymore or you haven't worn in awhile. Bring them in for those who just need a little help.
1st Sunday Food & Clothing Drive... let's make an impact!!
It seems like the year has flown by... but, let's take a moment and slow down as we come together for a night of worship. We all know folks far from the Lord - what a great Christmas present it would be if they were to come to know Jesus this Christmas. Most people say they would come to know Jesus if invited by a friend or family member, so why don't your start asking them to join you for the Christmas Eve Night of Worship?
Let's gather and sing out our praise to the God of the universe who is the only One worthy of our praise! Let's take some time to pray together and take communion together. Come out and plan on having an amazing night in the presence of God. Come out on Wednesday, December 24th as we lift our voices in praise for the blessings He has rained down on us!
This Advent Series, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, helps us to imagine the longing the Israelites must have felt as they waited for Jesus the Messiah to come, and it helps us to grapple with the longing we feel now as we wait for His return.
The Christ finally explodes onto the scene, and the explosion reverberates. Those who trusted in God’s promises find their fulfillment in this child. The message does not stop with those who knew beforehand; the good news of Jesus bounces out into the world, delivering hope, life, and salvation.
Please join us in launching the Christmas break for our friends over at Plantation Park Elementary in Bossier. Before the kids leave school, the teachers and staff will conduct a parade around the block. They have asked our friends and us to join the parade with motorcycles and jeeps.
If you're available, come on out and join us. Feel free to dress up or decorate your bike/jeep. Lights would be really cool.
