Salem Fields Weekly Audio Message

As the end of the year quickly approaches, your joyful and generous involvement through year-end giving is vital to the ministry of SFCC. Any contributions to our year-end giving will go to Unleash Hope: Thanksgiving Offering to provide for the needs of others in our church, community, nation and world. The benefits of income tax deductions, capital gains savings and other financial benefits are significant advantages that provide an incentive to make a gift at the year-end.

Every year at Christmas, the evening news has a segment of crazy shoppers pushing and shoving each other to get their hands on the best gifts for the best prices. All for the sake of giving! Join us as we continue our series, Simple Christmas as we discover the joy of simple giving

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The beautiful lights, the excitement in the air and the anticipation of all that Christmas brings is in full swing. This week we begin a new series, "SIMPLE CHRISTMAS". Life can get busy and complicated, especially at this time of year. So take some time to stop and reflect on the simple beauty of the reason for the season. Invite your friends and family to worship with you and experience the joy that only the simple meaning of Christmas can bring.

GIVING THANKS. To some, this time of year is about Black Friday; for others, its football, turkey and pumpkin pie! There's so much for which to be thankful. This week, we will take intentional time to thank God for who He is and all He's given us. We can show our thanks through singing, prayer, testimonies and generosity. Remember to invite someone to a weekend service to enjoy the presence of God through giving thanks. May your Thanksgiving season be filled with the blessings of food, family and friends.

HONORING ALL VETERANS. We thank veterans this weekend by paying tribute to those who have faithfully served our country. Guest speaker Retired Rear Admiral William “Dean” Lee will be with us to deliver a powerful message. You won’t want to miss this special time of military appreciation.

WORSHIP! We will have a special time of celebration to conclude our Worship series. These special services will include a time of worship, Baby Dedications, Baptisms, Communion and much more.

WORSHIP! We have worshipped God, His Majesty and greatness. With a grateful heart, we have worshipped Jesus. This week we will engage in the refreshment of the Holy Spirit. The Three-In-One is hope for anyone, everywhere. Experience the unique Presence of God that happens when we worship together.

WORSHIP! Last week, we experienced God's presence by worshipping God and His Majesty. This week, we worship Jesus, the greatest gift ever given to mankind. God loves people so much, He gave His Son so we can have a healthy, fulfilled, abundant life. The greatest gift we can give back to Him is our life of gratitude, praise and worship.

HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD? Words really aren’t big enough to answer that question. But His mystery begins to unfold when people come together to worship Him.

This week we conclude the series on the New Normal. In light of everything that has happened recently it is fitting that this week we talk about uncertainty. The New Normal is that no one knows what is going to happen next. People are reacting in all kinds of ways trying to make sense of the chaos. We want to protect ourselves and our neighbors, but we don’t know how, because we don’t know what is coming. We are going to explore whether the Bible can really help guide us in these uncertain times.

If we watch the evening news or peruse social media , it doesn't take long to see and hear angry voices protesting almost everything. Yet behind the scenes, there are millions of people, with quieter voices living out lives of personal freedom and service to others. What makes the difference between the two? This week we explore how the Bible says to "Protest Injustice" as we continue our series, "THE NEW NORMAL".

We live in a "post-truth" culture. "Post-truth" means people use opinion, feelings and popularity as their standard for making life decisions. In this series, "The New Normal," we're looking at some timeless truths of the Bible that our culture has rewritten for personal benefit. This week we will be exploring "Marriage."

We live in a world that hates authority, hates to follow the rules, hates being told what to do and hates to submit. Join us as we continue our series, “The New Normal”, where we'll discover the importance of living under authority.

We are starting a new series called "The New Normal." Over the next few weeks we are going to look at some New Normals in our culture today and what the Bible says about these changes. We will kick the series by looking at the New Normal in how we communicate.

Did you know that God has some hidden things He wants to share with you about your life and the circumstances you may be facing? Join us as we discover the key to uncovering those hidden things.

More than ever, our world needs people to join together in healthy, life-giving ways to impact our communities. This series, LIFEGUARDS, has emphasized life "guards", that when put in place, produce healthy people, healthy families, and healthy churches. Join us as we explore how we can impact our communities by being a shining light of hope in our world. SFCC stands together by choosing God's love. #WeChooseLove

One glance at the news and you know that something is going terribly wrong in society today. Fear and anger are dragging people under, and we need lifeguards now more than ever. The lifeguard series continues this weekend when we talk about the next step from a healthy person, and a healthy family. What if God created natural lifeguards for our world? What would they look like? Come and find out what God’s lifeguards look like.

Family is something we all have in common, designed by God to give safety and security to its members. Yet family relationships can also be tough. Join us as we continue our series “Lifeguards” and look at some important ways to guard the heart of our family.

A new series, "LIFEGUARDS" kicks off. Just like a beach lifeguard that looks out for, warns and protects swimmers so they can enjoy the ocean, we will look for the life "guards" that can keep us from drowning spiritually. The Bible says to guard our heart. Why? Because it determines the course of our life. Invite a friend to join you to worship and learn more about how to live a joyful, peace-filled life.

Suffering is never easy. It's painful. It's scary. And it can challenge our faith to the core. But, as we close out our Stay Calm Series, we're going to discover that by changing the way we look at suffering, we will be able to see a God that is fighting for us in the midst of it, and in more ways than we could possibly imagine.
