Join us as we begin a new 5-week Sermon and Study series entitled, “I Love My Church.” Jesus’ command to us as Christians is that all of our interactions must be bathed in love. How do our actions project love to one another in our church, and how will the love we have for those in our church affect the way we interact with our world? Let us step into this series with an introduction on Jesus’ words to His followers to be the light and love in the world.
This weekend we celebrate Transfiguration Sunday. Jesus’ divinity is revealed to Peter, James, and John, but also God the Father reinforces who Jesus is for those who believe. Jesus is the Son of God and the words He gave us, taught us are words we ought to follow as we go on our faith journey.
It’s hard to believe we are at the end of the first month in the new year. Have you been listening for God during this time? Have you heard Him speak to the one thing He wants you to do for Him this year? Maybe you have heard something or had a thought about what to do and yet you asked God, Why me? Why now? That’s exactly what we’ll be discussing this weekend during worship. We might know what God's answer is already— Why not you! Why not now! Imagine the people you know or that know you, there is no better person to speak to them about the love of Christ than you!
We’re hanging out the “Gone Fishing” sign— well not really, but it does make us think about going out. When someone hangs out that sign, they in fact are going fishing. As believers, as followers of Christ, He has given us a great commission to go out and make disciples teaching all He had taught us. Have you gone fishing lately? Have you told your story of how God through Christ has made you new? Listen in this week as we dialogue about what it takes to be purposefully active in ministry with Christ.
Do you know what most people are doing during these uncertain times? They are making home improvements. While we are all making improvements in our living environments, the Lord draws us to make spiritual improvements. Come let us enter into worship and see the transforming work of God in our lives as we surrender to His plan.
Jesus reminds us in a parable that we must build our house, our faith, our life upon the solid rock and not shifting sand. Today we are reminded and encouraged about Jesus is the Rock!
We gather together to celebrate communion and remember and proclaim that Jesus is the cure for our social ills of the world today. He is the Savior of the world and we are equipped to go out and tell of how He has changed our lives so that others may know the good news of our risen Lord.
Today is Pentecost, a celebration of the Holy Spirit coming and the birth of the Church. Let us be reminded that we are called out in service to God's plan. It is only by and through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can go and make disciples. Join us for worship as we discover what it means to be Empowered by the Spirit.
