Pastor Dan and the teaching staff at Soul Rio will begin a new Message series this Sunday January 19th called “Fuel: Driven By Love”.  This is a verse-by-verse study through the New Testament book of First John.  Each week you will receive memory cards from key verses and a study plan with discussions to use with your family, accountability partner, or Rio Link.  Tell a friend about this new series and invite them to join us this Sunday.
 
Here are some thoughts from Dan on the new study…
 
“Believers go through stages of faith. A new believer is usually excited about their new faith and enthusiastically tells everyone they meet about the changes in their life and the new purpose and direction they have.  Then when difficulties come that faith is tested and the believer must draw close to God and study His truths, or they will become dissillusioned.  This is when spiritual growth happens. 
 
When your faith and basic confidence get destroyed, you don’t have much. Your assurance is devastated.  Sometimes the only thing you can do is cling to Jesus.  But that is also the greatest thing you can do.
  

Here is what was going on at the end of the first century in Asia Minor. It was probably in the city Ephesus.  Whole groups of believers in small churches and clusters of churches had sprung up because of the ministry and the teachings of the Apostle John. They were trying to cling to their faith and assurance in God but were at a crisis point. False teachers had claimed to have special knowledge from God.  But their teaching did not fit or sync up with the Gospel that John had written. They claimed that only they, their narrow band of followers and people who followed their teaching, actually belonged to God. Everybody else was at risk.

 
The people in these little churches in this area were confused, uncertain and hanging by a thread. Because of these false teachings, they were no longer sure what to think about these absolutely basic teachings of the faith.  So a very wise old man (John) sits down to write a letter.  The book of John is the attempt of a father to anchor his children in the faith.  He writes one of the great foundational books of the New Testament.
 
I’m excited to go on this journey with you through this awesome New Testament book.  This will be a great time of spiritual growth for all of us.  See you on Sunday!”
 
Pastor Dan

In the Bible, when God describes the “Marriage Covenant,”

he speaks of a spiritual covenant that is just as sacred,

just as binding, as the covenant that he made with

his people through Abraham. In Jeremiah 31:31-32,

when describing the relationship between himself

and his people, he speaks of the husband-wife relationship.

The New Testament likens the relationship between

Christ and the Church to the Bridegroom and the

Bride. Marriage is indeed a holy union, set apart

before God. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to

spend quality time with your spouse in beautiful surroundings

and discover how you can truly live out

God’s plan for your marriage.

Make plans now to come and renew your “Marriage

Covenant.” You are cordially invited to Soul Rio’s second

annual Marriage Retreat. Whether your marriage is

solid and thriving, or could use a little “tune up,” you

will definitely want to take advantage of this

opportunity to allow God to enhance your marriage.

Mark your calendar, get your deposit in, and call the

reservation line to hold your space. The cost is only

$199 per couple for the weekend, plus food. What a

small price to pay for a weekend that will enrich your

marriage beyond measure!

 

Join us March 6-7 at the beautiful Tamaya Resort. Cost is $149 due to Tamaya and $50 due to Soul Rio. Call 888-421-1442 to hold your room now. Space is limited.
