Welcome to The Oaks Community Church Sunday morning worship service. We are so glad you could join us. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is preaching on Luke 6:39-49, “Pits, Planks, Thorns, & Storms.” Today’s message continues the theme of the last week’s message—like going into a sauna.

Welcome to The Oaks Community Church Sunday morning worship service. We are so glad you could join us. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is preaching on Luke 6:27-38, “Be Merciful As Your Father Is Merciful.” Today’s message is like last week’s message—like going into a sauna. It is a shock to your system, but when it’s over you realize it is good for you. What Jesus taught us that God requires us to do is contrary to our natural responses, and so is hard. Jesus had some hard teachings. As Pastor Gary will say, this may be His hardest, so be ready to be challenged. However, this is an exciting message, and we know you will be blessed, encouraged in your walk with the Lord, and ministered to by the Holy Spirit.

Welcome to The Oaks Community Church Sunday morning worship service. We are so glad you could join us. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is preaching on Luke 6:1-16, “The New Ways of the Son of Man.” When Jesus came He ushered in the New Covenant (Grace) which brought new ways for mankind. “Through this man we all receive gifts of grace beyond our imagination. You see, Moses gave us rules to live by, but Jesus the Anointed offered us gifts of grace and truth” (John 1:16-17, The Voice). We are going to learn how Jesus did this as we see Him on two different Sabbaths, and then we will apply this to our lives today.

Welcome to our Sunday morning service. This morning Pastor Gary Barber is preaching on Luke 5:-27-39, “Jesus – Friend of Sinners & Unsettling Initiator.” We are going to see today how Jesus truly did “not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matthew 9:13). And as He walked among men He brought change that was not always welcome. We will see how this tension between the old and the new has continued throughout church history as new work has always required new methods, expressions, and structures. Are you willing to let Jesus change you? Are we, His Church, willing to let Jesus change us? We are thankful you have joined us and we know you will be blessed by this message, encouraged in your walk with the Lord, and ministered to by the Holy Spirit. Today is Communion Sunday. We encourage you to prepare communion elements (bread or crackers and some juice) and join us in communion at the end of the sermon.

The focus this week is Reawakening to the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. Pastor José’s sermon is titled “Reawakening to the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.” We are going to learn how we can (and must) trust God for our lives – how we must let go of the controls and "float," and let God have control. This is a hard thing for all of us to do, but Pastor José, through the Scripture and through his own experi
