CHURCH OF POD
Clear. Christian. Community.
Where we come together to know God, the Father, by following Jesus, His Son.
Church life was easy to understand growing up in a small town in upstate New York. Then I got older. As life became more complex, the simplicity of the gospel of Christ suffered as I came to believe that the "deeper things of God" were the most important to aspire to and attain. I was wrong.
It's my hope that Church of POD will help us discover our true identities as sons and daughters of God and explore how to grow in that relationship. Part of the "good news" of the Gospel is that the Lord draws near to us and wants to become known more intimately. I find that very exciting!
We were leading a small group some years ago when a member asked a question that had been on his mind for a while: "What's the difference between the old and new testament?". To our shame, that man had been attending our church for four years. I'm grateful that he was bold enough to ask, but asking isn't always easy in the midst of God's people. It shouldn't be that way, but it often is.
- Do you believe there are things you should already understand about Jesus or your faith but are afraid to ask? Maybe you’re just getting started and it seems that everyone around you is miles ahead?
- Perhaps you're in a season that attending church is simply too difficult? Or impossible?
- Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside looking in and everyone was invited to the party except you?
If so, you're in the right place! We invite you to join us as we come together to stumble towards the Prize.

CHURCH OF POD
A Miracle for Margaret. (Episode 2)
Clear. Christian. Community.
A place where we come together to know God, the Father, by following Jesus, His Son.
Definition of POD: a group of people who interact closely with one another on a regular basis.
This Week's Story:
On two separate occasions Margaret turned down offers for her 30-acre farm because of the still small voice of God prompting her “don’t sell”. A smaller place with less stress and responsibilities for a then 56-year-old woman with crippling arthritis looked pretty good, don’t you think? The second buyer was willing to pay twice what the first buyer offered a year earlier. Might this have been the Lord’s provision for two widows?
Foundational Scripture:
Romans 8:28
(New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition)
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

Jordan Sandquist - "Dayspring" (A Ted Sandquist Song)
https://youtu.be/91qQdLJmk4Q
And it’s a new day every hour when the Dayspring comes
And He renews life in His power for He is the Son
When the day dawns from on high
He shines a light in the dark doorway
Making clear the shadow of the lie
To guide our feet in the good Lord’s way
Rejoice Rejoice (x2)
And it’s a new day every hour when the Dayspring comes
And He renews life in His power for He is the Son
From the spring of eternal life
Flows a river into dry land
Come drink and be baptized
Your salvation is close at hand
Rejoice Rejoice (x2)
And it’s a new day every hour when the Dayspring comes
And He renews life in His power for He is the Son
When I see the face of Jesus
I know that He not only can
But He wants to save and heal us
And with His Spirit fill the heart of man
Rejoice Rejoice (x4)
