The Arrival of Jesus

Do you enjoy waiting? Most people don’t.
Yet, there are two dramatic differences in the ways to wait; one creates the question if the wait is even worth it, and the other creates a sense of deep anticipation for that for which one is waiting.
From the beginning of time, people awaited the Promised Messiah. While they did not always enjoy the wait, they still anticipated what it would be like once Jesus officially arrived. It made the wait well worth the while.
This coming Sunday, we will direct attention to Galatians 4:4-5, discovering that when Jesus arrived the first it wasn’t too early, and it wasn’t too late. So too will be His second coming. He will arrive just in time. Join with us as we see reveal why it’s worth the wait.
We meet at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska. If you are uncomfortable in attending in person, check out our Facebook page, SpiritOfFaithOmaha, or our YouTube channel. Come grow with us as we seek to share the joy of knowing Jesus Christ.

Putting on Christ

Dress rehearsals help us better prepare for a public event. The rehearsals make us aware of potential issues and pitfalls in the upcoming presentation. Practice does make perfect.
When it comes to the Christian faith, we too need to practice our faith. The goal is to become more and more reflective of the presence of Jesus in our life.
When we put on Christ, His grace covers us, and His presence empowers us to live effectively for Jesus.
Join with us this coming Sunday as we discover the full effect of putting on Christ and what it means for us as we study Galatians 3:23-29. Hope you can join us.

Turning to God

Have you called out to God lately, sharing your trials and your triumphs with Him?
We can be quick to share what’s going wrong, but God also wants to hear what’s going right. He wants to hear from His children. As a follower of Jesus, you are one of His children, and He wants to hear from you!
Share your deepest concerns, your cares, and your joys with Him because He cares for you!
This coming Sunday we will look at James 5:13-16 as we discover that God wants to hear about our suffering, about our sufficiency, and about our sickness.
Join us this coming Sunday as we discover how the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick. What exactly is this promise and when does it come true every time?

Perseverance

Perseverance: the Latin foundation of the term defines it all. Per (through) plus severus (severe) equals “through the severe.”
When we go through challenges of various sorts in life and make it to the other side, we have persevered, having gone “through the severe.”
In James 5:10-11, the Scriptures point to the prophets and then to one person in specific who demonstrated perseverance. Both examples are there to encourage us to stand strong in our faith when the winds of adversity come our way.
Join us this coming Sunday as we learn from those examples that we can endure because of God’s compassion and care us along with His mercy. We meet at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Lure of Wealth

Get rich quick schemes have existed from ages past. Whatever is viewed as wealth is wanted. Some want it so badly, they will go to great lengths, even if it means destroying someone else in the process.
Most believe that riches assure us of happiness. But the constant pursuit of more leaves us forever lacking and wanting more.
The Bible has much to say about money. One such text is found in James 5:1-6 where it warns how riches rot and how a desire for more riches can lead us to rob from others.
Join us for worship this coming Sunday as we dive into the teaching from James 5:1-6. We meet at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska.

Watch Where You Point!

Pointing is a very powerful action. When we point at something or someone, others look to see where we are pointing.
Pointing is very distracting and very misleading. When we point one finger at someone else, there are three remaining fingers that point to us.
We can use pointing in an accusing manner, often misjudging the actions of others. The Bible challenges us to treat others as we would like to be treated.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look to James 4:11-12, discovering how to treat others in a way that honors them and us.

Finding Honor Before God

God honors the humble. James 4:10 instructs us, saying, “Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will exalt you.” He will lift you up. The way up the ladder is down.
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). We need God’s grace that gives us the opposite of what we deserve. We need God’s forgiveness and healing for the many times we fail.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look into Scripture to help discover how to live in such a way that God honors us.

Being a “Real” Christian

Not everything is as it appears. While you may be smiling, you could be hurting deeply. While you may be frowning, you may simply be deep in thought. Appearances are not always a good barometer of how we are doing.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, we are to do our best to reflect Him in all that we do. It should be evidenced in our speech, in our actions, and even in our thoughts. When we fail to reflect Jesus in all areas of our lives, people can begin to question the veracity of our relationship with Jesus. Are we who we claim to be?
In James 4:8, the Bible teaches us how best to reflect Jesus. The nearer we are to Him and He to us, the more we reflect a living faith in Him.
Join us this coming Sunday as we dive into Scripture to discover how to draw near to God. We worship at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska.

Gaining Victory in Our Faith

As followers of Jesus, we face constant challenges to our faith. We find ourselves in a battle to fully follow the teaching of the Scriptures.
When you are in a battle, strategy plays a significant role. Things need to be done in the right order for victory to ensue.
You don’t want the infantry charging the same time you shower the enemy with arrows. Your troops will be caught in the crossfire. You don’t build a siege ramp if you have already conquered the city.
In James 4:7, the Scripture lays out the order for finding victory in our faith. When we follow that order, we stand strong in our faith.
Join us this coming Sunday as we dive into Scripture to discover how to find victory in our faith. We worship at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska.
