Easter Sunday
When Jesus Christ was crucified some 2000 years ago, there were only about 120 followers. Today, there are more than 2 billion people in the world who claim to be followers of Jesus. Why did Christianity spread so far and so fast? How did that happen? One of the reasons is that people found hope! Hope in a resurrected savior…

JERICHO MINISTRIES
The mission of Jericho Ministries in Honduras is to glorify God by breaking generational chains of prostitution, sexual abuse, and addiction. We are happy to partner with them and brighten a child’s day by receiving a stocking this year!
Start Here -- ROOTED Class
Beyond a program or a seminar, Rooted is a catalyst for life-change. Rooted provokes questions, conversations, and group experiences that will stretch you and help you find yourself in God's story.
Through the experience of Rooted, we hope you will be emboldened to live out your calling as a radical follower of Jesus.
Boundaries
Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle, isn’t it? Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries they ask questions like "Can I set limits and still be a loving person?", "What are legitimate boundaries?", "What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries?", "How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money?", "Aren’t boundaries selfish?", and "Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries?" This nine-week class will help you learn when to say yes, when to say no, and how to take control of your life.
Please complete the information below to register for the nine-week Boundaries class that begins Tuesday, January 23 at 6:30PM - 8:30PM in room 208.
If you already have a Boundaries Participants Guide, please email tammym@pathwayschurch.us to enroll in the class.
NOTE: The class will need a minimum of six people to be held. To guarantee to have a book on time for the first session, please register by Wednesday, January 10 (you can still register after this date -- this is only to guarantee your book arriving in time for the first class session)
No Young Adults Programming
Pathways Young Adults will not be meeting on Monday, December 25th or Monday, January 1st but please take some time to review the Christmas devotional below and we will see you again on Monday, January 8!
Christmas Devotional
Read This On Christmas Morning
I don't know what your family traditions are, but I would hope that the reading of the Word of God is included on the agenda for Christmas Day. If it's not, make 2015 the year to start a new tradition!
The Scripture passage that you're about to read doesn't immediately come to mind as a Christmas passage, but it's one that should be included in every gathering. I'll explain why, but for now, take a moment and let the words sink in:
ROMANS 8:31-39
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
Why should you read this passage to your family on Christmas? Because Romans 8 reminds us what the Christmas story is all about, by defining the glorious result of the birth of Jesus.
What was the glorious result of Jesus' birth? In a word - love. Think about it:
Jesus deserved to be loved, but he was rejected so that we, who deserve to be rejected, would be eternally loved by the Father.
Jesus subjected himself to the fickle and failing love of his followers so that we will know the faithful and unfailing love of the father.
Jesus experienced separation from the Father so that nothing could ever separate us from the Father's love.
This Christmas, remind yourself and your family that hope is only found in how much you've been loved by Jesus. It will be tempting to look for hope in the gifts that you receive or in the gifts that you give or in the people that you celebrate Christmas with, but those gifts will get old, your generosity will wrestle with your selfishness, and the people who say they love you will find a way to disappoint you once again.
The only hope that you have this Christmas is in the love that God has for you. Husbands, you won't love your wife like you're supposed to. Wives, you won't love your husbands like you're supposed to. Brothers and sisters, you won't love your siblings like you're supposed to. Parents, you won't love your kids like you're supposed to. Kids, you won't love your parents like you're supposed to. But God will always love you perfectly.
Christmas Day is a celebration of how much God loves us. Don't miss out on an opportunity to share that Good News. Remind yourself and your family to fix your eyes on Jesus and celebrate that there's eternal, life-changing hope for you!
Christmas Eve at Pathways Church
We gather as a church family around the manager ...to kneel in awe of a baby whose name is paramount and above all names. To be enveloped by the Prince of Peace that disrupts the chaos. Where the empty and powerless are infused with hope by a Mighty God. Come face to face and worship The Name. We will be hosting 3 Christmas Eve services, 10AM, 12PM, 2PM. You may join us with friends & family onsite or online!
