rekindle . connecting with God

july 4 – august 15

There are lots of ways to connect these days – Facebook, Twitter, IM, texting, Skype, etc. But how do we connect with God? Although He has 375,691 friends on Facebook the last time we checked – we’re pretty sure that’s not the best way to get in touch with Him.
The Bible finds its purpose as it leads us into an ever deepening connection with God. It’s one way He speaks to us & we’re going to take a look at what He has to say. Whether it’s through our leather-bound Bible, smartphone, or iPad – it’s time to rekindle our connection with Him.
We’ve chosen a few of the greatest chapters in the Bible to start the conversation between you & God – starting with James 1 on Sunday, July 4 & then weekly » Luke 15, Isaiah 53, Romans 8, John 15, Genesis 1, Revelation 22, & 1 Corinthians 13.

    Making a Difference for the Kingdom of God

    At UBC our tithes support our ongoing ministries through the operating budget. Beyond that, our offerings provide for our future building project, our missions efforts, and designated projects. Through our giving in these ways lives are changed, ministries are provided and the gospel is shared. What a privilege to be a part!

    Offering the Sacrifices of Love

    Beyond the tithe God’s Word shows people (including Jesus) making profound gifts of costly sacrifice. We refer to these as offerings. (Mark 10:45, John 12:3, Luke 21:3-4, 22:42-44, Acts 4:34-35, 1 Chronicles 29:2-5, 2 Corinthians 8-9).

    Growing in the Grace of Giving

    When I give I am behaving more like God (John 3:16, James 1:5)
    When I give I am following Jesus’ example (Matthew 10:8, Mark 10:45)
    When I give I am showing faithful stewardship (1 Corinthians 4:2)
    When I give I am drawing closer to God from the heart (Matthew 6:21)
    When I give I am breaking the power of materialism in my life (1 Timothy 6:17-19)
    When I give I am investing securely in eternity (Matthew 6:20, Luke 16:9-11)
    When I give I will receive God’s blessing in return (Proverbs 3:9-10, Luke 6:38)

    “Well done, good and faithful servant! You’ve been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your Master’s happiness.” Matthew 25:21

    Joining Jesus in Tithing

    A tithe is simply a tenth, ie. a dime of every dollar, ten of every hundred, and so on.
    Although Jesus never gave his disciples a “Thou shalt tithe” command, we know Jesus taught more about money than He did about Heaven or Hell. One of every six verses of the recorded teachings of Jesus is about money. One of every three of Jesus’ parables speaks about the right use or wrong use of money.
