Hi Ladies!
Are you hungry for more of Jesus?  Are you singing a “new song” to the Lord?  We invite you to be a part of our ladies bible studies where we are having such a wonderful time of friendship and fellowship and most importantly The Lord is reminding us to seek His face as we would seek food in a famine.  As we become more and more hungry for our Lord we begin to “sing a new song” of praise to Him, we begin to live our lives a new way and stir up the way we worship Him.  Because our heavenly Father is so good He will see our sacrifice and pour blessings upon us and begin to lift our burdens and give us tools to change our situations.  It is so exciting to watch each other grow in the Lord and to see each others lives being changed!  We invite you to come be a part of it!

Love,
Your New Life Ladies Board

Genesis 22:1-12 God Tests Abraham

What’s for Dinner?
I can hardly imagine inviting special friends over for dinner and then throwing a few leftovers into the microwave to serve up to them.  But if I were to do that, it would speak volumes about how I really feel about them.  Giving God the leftovers of our lives speaks volumes about His true worth to us.  When God asked Abraham to give Isaac back to Him as an act of worship, Genesis 22:1 calls it a test.  A test to see if there was anything in his life that he treasured more than God. It’s no different for us.  There are times when God requires something really important to get His work done.  He’ll ask us to give up our natural instincts to seek revenge so that we can communicate His forgiving love by forgiving our enemies.  He may call us to sacrifice portions of our time or money or comforts to advance His cause.  Or He may require us to allow our sons and daughters to go to a far-off land to tell others about His saving love.  The way we respond to what He requires says volumes about how we really feel about Him. Anyone can offer the leftovers.  Only those who love God more than anything else will serve up the very best for Him.

No sacrifice we make is too great for the One who sacrificed His all.
