Welcome to our Wednesday evening Bible Survey Fellowship. Tonight Pastor Gary Barber is teaching on Jeremiah, chapters 16-20, where we are studying Jeremiah's 7th and 8th sermons, or messages, out of the 12 he gives in the book of Jeremiah. The prophet Jeremiah was called to a life of celibacy because of the hardships of his calling, but we are going to see it was also due to the judgments coming on Judah--judgments foretold by Jeremiah. In these sermons of Jeremiah we are going to see how God reveals His own nature through judgment. We are going to gain new insights into the nature of God, and into several stories that are familiar to us, including the Potter and the Clay, and the story of the Broken Jar. May God bless and encourage you as you study with us. If you need a form for note taking click "Download PDF" and it will open in a new window where you may print or save it.

And then we are going to apply this lesson to our own lives, so we may learn to be vessels of honor that God may use for His glory. We are glad you have joined us today and pray God will bless you as you study with us. Be sure to download the sermon notes by clicking "Download PDF."

EMPOWER is a ministry of the Christian & Ministry Alliance equipping, motivating, and preparing women for effective ministry. Here at The Oaks Community Church we recently had 9 women complete the EMPOWER program and receive their certificates. This morning Amanda Heasley gave her testimony about what God has done in her life through the EMPOWER program. EMPOWER is a developmental ministry certificate program designed by women for women, to move to the next level in their personal relationship with God and to walk in the fullness of their gifts and calling. The program is designed for women to receive biblical and theological training, enrich their own personal spiritual formation by dealing with issues of the heart, and process with other women in small mentoring groups. Women want to have a greater understanding of their purpose in life. Training in theology and spiritual formation helps women discover who they are and how they can activate their gifts and calling in God's redemptive work for all people. We

Welcome to our Sunday morning worship service. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is again preaching from Jeremiah 15:15-21 in a message titled "Extracting the Precious from the Worthless" (Jeremiah 15:19). We are going to learn the vital importance for us of testing what we hear and read, so that we can extract the precious (that which is from God) from the worthless (that which is not from God). May God apply this word to each of our hearts and lives as we study the Word together. Be sure to download the sermon notes so you may follow along with Pastor Gary.

Welcome to our Sunday morning worship service. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is preaching on Jeremiah, chapters 12 and 15, plus 1 Kings 17-19 in a message called "Jeremiah's Complaint & God's Counsel." We are going to see Jeremiah ask God why things are so bad and so hard. And we are going to see God tell him it is all part of His plan for Jeremiah, to train him and get him ready to overcome even harder things yet to come. Then we are going to apply this lesson to own lives. May our response to God be like Jeremiah's! May God's "words become for [us] a joy and the delight of [our] heart; for [we] have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts" (Jer. 15:16). We are glad you have joined us today.

May God richly bless you and speak to your heart as you study with us.

Welcome to our Sunday morning worship service, where today we are continuing our study of Jeremiah. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is preaching on Jeremiah 7:1-34, and 31:27-34 in a sermon titled, "Superficial Spirituality & Obeying God." We are going to see God, through Jeremiah, call Judah to amend their ways and obey His voice, and He will be their God and they will be His people. And then we are going to apply this to our own walk with God, "that it may be well with [us]" (Jeremiah 7:23). Today's sermon is a powerful call to holiness. May God encourage you and fill you with a desire to walk in holiness with Him, our Creator and Lord. God bless you. Be sure to download the sermon notes.
