KEEP CLOSE TO THE RUNNING WATERS Monday, 22 February 2010 00:43
THE TEMPLE IS A PLACE OF LIVING WATERS Ezekiel 471 THEN HE [my guide] brought me again to the door of the house [of the Lord--the temple], and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple was toward the east; and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the temple, on the south side of the altar.2 Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around outside to the outer gate by the way that faces east, and behold, waters were running out on the right side.

BLESSING OR BLUNDER Monday, 15 February 2010 00:25
You need to look into your future with an attitude of victory. The Bible talks about a woman that was so despaired with her life and what was happening to Israel that she named her son a terrible name. 1 Samuel 4:20-21 (New International Version)20 As she was dying, the women attending her said, "Don't despair; you have given birth to a son." But she did not respond or pay any attention. 21 She named the boy Ichabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel"-because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. ICHABOD means "The Glory has departed"

CHARISMATIC WITCHCRAFT Monday, 22 February 2010 00:47
We have no right to control others. God gave us a free will. Even God will not try to control us. Therefore, when we attempt to control or manipulate others, we enter into agreement with Satan and his demons. This is the practice of witchcraft.1. Witchcraft is the practice of trying to control others for personal gain. 2. Charismatic witchcraft is exercising control over other Christians by leaders or anyone in the church. Charismatic witches often use personal prophecy to control others. Pastors or leaders who would totally deny the practice of witchcraft often practice charismatic witchcraft. They may do it to make a person stay in their church. They may put fear or guilt on the person if they try to leave. They may make the person give financially to the church through fear of losing God's blessing when the motive is to bring in more finances so the church can become larger or have more for programs.

10 Reasons Small Churches Tend to Stay Small, Monday, 15 February 2010 02:09
I know more about getting smaller churches to grow than larger ones. I pastored three of them, and only the first of the three did not grow—I was fresh out of college, untrained, inexperienced, and clueless about what I was doing. The next two grew well, and even though I remained at each only some three years, one almost doubled and the other nearly tripled in attendance and ministries. By using the word “grow,” I do not mean in numbers for numbers’ sake. I do not subscribe to the fallacy that bigness is good and small churches are failures.

Dream Interpretation

dreambanner

Very often people say, "I had a weird dream this morning..." Paul said that God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). Dreams that may seam to be foolish or sensless are precious to those that understand that God speaks to us through dreams.

Job 33 14 says, For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

We can see that God speaks as we slumber. This is when we have deep sleep. These messages from God are sealed in parables and very often we cannot understand their meaning. There are some key aspects that we need to understand in order to interpret a dream. Every person is different and the elements of a dream cannot be understood without an examination of that person's reality.

Service Etiquette
Serve

Finding a church is easy. Look on nearly any street corner and you'll find one. Browse through the phone book and you can find dozens. That's the easy part. The hard part is choosing a church that will meet your spiritual needs. Choosing a church home is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make--one that reaches into eternity. May each of us spend at least as much time and effort making that decision as we do deciding on our earthly dwelling. At Southshore Community Church we value...

A High View of God.
The Presence of a Sincere Faith.
Spirit of Sacrifice.
Proper Attitudes Toward the Pastor and Other Leaders.
Spirit of Unity.

Here at Southshore Community Church we believe in a culture that is vibrant, caring, confident and creative. A church designed to help you meet the challenges of living with faith in the 21st century. Southshore Community Church is a place where you can believe, belong and become!

It is important to prepare for our fellowship by having a time of prayer prior to the service. People wishing to pray are encouraged to come to the altar at the front and kneel on the steps or sit in the front row of pews. We start our Sunday morning in prayer at the altar.

Please turn off cell phones and pagers before you enter the auditorium.
Please do not leave or move around during prayer or during the altar call.
Please take crying children to the lobby, or go to the information desk for assistance.
If you know you will need to leave the service early, please sit in the back row of a section near an exit.

HOW SHOULD I DRESS?

If you were born before 1945, you probably have a special outfit or two you wear to church: modest dresses for women, suits and neckties for men. But if you were born after World War II, no matter your gender, you probably dress a lot more casually for worship: slacks and a shirt or sweater -- perhaps even shorts and a T-shirt. At Southshore Community Church we have all generations in one place so feel free to dress as you want as long as you understand that it should be respectful for God and for others.

It's All About Others

Serving enables us to use our gifts in the body of Christ and in the world so we can become all God has created us to be. We are poised as weapons in God's hand to do great exploits and accomplishments for His kingdom: "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Eph. 2:10 NIV).

God has brought you to Southshore Community Church to be a vital part of changing lives and shaping the destinies of those around you. From our food distribution to our parking lot attendants, small groups, and outreach ministries, there is a place for everyone to serve.

We believe in on-the-job training. Your ministry may involve very little orientation or require something more extensive, but we don't want to stop you from getting started. When you are ready to begin, stop by the entrance booth or use the contact form and let our leaders help you get started.
