We are so glad you have joined us today! Our desire is that God
would bless and direct this time together. Worship is an
interactive, participatory experience and our prayer is that the
service today would strengthen and encourage you on your
spiritual journey. Whether you are new to faith, just coming back
to church, or a long-time follower of Jesus, we hope you find your
time with us engaging and meaningful.
WH AT TO EXPECT TOD AY
Worship: a time to connect with God through song and prayer.
Feel free to stand and sing with us as we praise God through
singing by following the on-screen lyrics. A typical service lasts
about 65 minutes.
Offering: We give tithes and offerings as a part of worship in
obedience, celebration, and thanksgiving to the Lord. Its also just
our way of saying, We love our church and we want to support
it! If you are a guest, you are not expected or obligated to give.
Children: We have a fully-staffed Nursery for ages three and
below. Kids ages 4-12 will be dismissed during the service to the
childrens chapel to be taught by Pastor Linda and her staff.
Message: The teaching time seeks to communicate biblical truth
in compelling, relevant ways. All of our messages are available
as podcast on our website www.estillnaz.org or through iTunes.

Did You Know... that real victories were had in 2015 for faith, family
and fellowships? Through God's guidance, Christians' influence in
America helped achieve these victories in 2015 and has set the stage
for the conflict of 2016:
When the U.S. Supreme Court imposed same-sex marriage on all
of America, Christian organizations helped Congress understand
proposed laws to safeguard religious liberty against the ruling's
threat.
When the Navy attempted to fire Chaplain Wes Modder for
expressing his faith, his story did not die. Thanks to a massive
public outcry in favor of Chaplain Modder, he is still in the Navy
and is up for promotion.
Over 130,000 petitions were sent to the Senate Armed Services
Committee asking that Sgt. Charles Martland's record be cleared
of any charges for protecting a boy who was repeatedly raped by
an Afghan official.
Christians rallied support for Kim Davis, the county clerk who went
to jail rather than sign her name to marriage licenses for same-sex
couples.
Christians stood against the Mayor of Houston, and rallied against
her order that churches hand over sermons critical of homosexual
and transgender behaviorand then rallied again to overturn her
perverse ordinance allowing men to use women's restrooms.
In Scripture, the apostle Paul told Timothy, in the midst of similar
pressure: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear . . . Therefore, do
not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord" (2 Timothy 1:7-8). That
includes not being ashamed of any part of our Lord's words, including
about marriage and family.
