The Gospel of John Week 2

Northwest Community Church is on an 8 week journey together through the Gospel of John.  Each week our worship gatherings are based on John. Our community groups are studying John. And the entire church is reading each day through John.

As we go through the Gospel of John together keep in mind that John points to the reality that Jesus is the Son of God. Let that truth sink in for a moment…Jesus is the Son of God.  How does that truth alter or affect your life?

Notice how this truth affected the life of John the Baptist in John 3:30-36. "He (Jesus) must become greater and greater, and I (John the Baptist) must become less and less." If Jesus is the Son of God it only makes sense that He should become greater in our lives.

So, how is Jesus becoming greater in your life today?  How is Jesus becoming greater in your career? In your finances? In your marriage? In your hobbies? In your relationships?

Be sure to join Northwest this Sunday as we celebrate Father's Day and discover from John 4:46-54 how the faith of a father has a major impact on the health of the family.  Remember dads, a godly father allows the family to see his faith grow as he becomes a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ.  

Exciting Things Happening

The month of June is going be filled with some great opportunities for growth at Northwest. Don't sit on the sidelines. Rather, get involved and grow together with your family. As we mentioned on Sunday this summer could be a season for you to grow deeper in your walk with God and grow wider in terms of the impact you have in your neighborhood. Here a quick preview of the lineup.

Northwest Kids (The Children's Ministry of Northwest Community Church) is hosting a free Adventure Camp at Cooper Elementary June 18 - 20 for kids K - 4 from 9am to 12pm. Our goal is to serve the families in Bella Vista while introducing them to the ways Northwest and Jesus Christ could positively impact their lives. As you sign up, remember to invite your friends and neighbors. For more info and to register go to our website.    

June 18 - 20 at Cooper Elementary in Bella Vista

During the week of our Adventure Camp, Northwest is also excited to host a group of high school students from Willow Point Baptist Church in Shreveport, LA who are coming to help serve alongside us. In the evenings, the leaders from Northwest will have opportunities to invest into the lives of the students and give them a taste of the church planting experience.  In addition, Cassi Luka, our Children's Director at Northwest, is excited to have Sarah Mayer from Louisville, KY serving as an intern with her this summer and working hard to promote the Adventure Camp. What a great testimony of the body of Christ coming together for the sake of sharing the message of Christ with a community.  This one event will have several local church represented.   

We will conclude our Adventure Camp by once again partnering with the city of Bella Vista to host a free outdoor family movie night at Metfield Park on Saturday, June 21 beginning at dark. To volunteer and help serve at either the Adventure Camp or the Movie Night please email Cassi Luka or Greg Luka. 

Finally this Sunday we kicked off our summer teaching series THE GOSPEL OF JOHN along with our summer semester for Community Groups. All of our group options are listed online and it is not too late to sign up. Plus remember to follow along during the series with the weekly Connect Sheets posted online and daily Bible readings posted on the Northwest Facebook page and Twitter by 6am each morning.
