    Mark Goes into Action
    After a week off due to poor weather, we started a new series this Sunday entitled "Into Action".  We are looking at the action packed book of Mark and learning what it means for us to get "into the action".  Because God calls his people not to be spectators on the sidelines or consumers on TV, but out in the field in action.   And the three lessons learned in this sermon help us start to get into the action.

    Hope of a Girl — Hope of the World
    Hope of a girl-Hope of the world tells us that this hope of a young, engaged girl is actually the hope that the world has been longing for.  And this girl's hope gives us reason to have hope today because of Jesus who was born that night.

    The Prophetic Word — The Living Word
    This is the first Sunday of Advent- the season leading up to Christmas that we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus.  This series is based on the book They Came Together in Bethlehem.  This morning we look at how the prophetic words in the Old Testament comes together with the Word (logos) of God as seen in Jesus.  And because these to things came together in Bethlehem, our lives will never be the same.

    God as Judge
    HELL IS REAL!  And with the Hat of Judge, God unfortunately will sentence many people to this second death in the lake of fire.  And while God has many other Hats (this series has already looked as Creator, King, Revealer, and Priest), this too is a Biblical characteristic of God.  Because of who God is, He cannot (and will not) allow into Heaven those who are guilty of breaking His laws.  But there is good news.  Listen to the sermon to hear how God made a way for the guilty to be justified.

    Oct 21, 2018
    God as Priest
    God is Holy, Holy, Holy.  And as such He has the characteristics of a Priest.  And with this image of God when He wears His Priest Hat, we see that we to can be holy, but only through the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross.  Then we to can be a part of the priesthood, showing people about God.

    God our Personal Revealer
    God is not a God that made the world and then left us on our own.  God is not a distant King who rules from afar.  God wants to have a personal relationship with you.  This is the hat of God we looked at in the worship service this week.  A God who has revealed himself in the Bible and in the person Jesus Christ.
  • Oct 7, 2018God as King

    God as King
    The Hat of God as King is a very important Hat.  Because God was the creator of the universe, He has the right to rule and reign over the universe that He made. He has both the power and authority to do so.  And this gives me great comfort to know that God is in control when sometimes the world around us seems out of control.

    God as Creator
    This is the first sermon in a new series in which we will examine the different "hats" that God wears.  The Bible uses different metaphors when talking about God and what he does.  These different roles each show us a part of God's image and character.  And by learning about how the Bible pictures God, we can see God and his plan for the world from different perspectives.  I hope that this series will help us all look at God from different points of view.

    Teen Challenge
    The men from Teen Challenge led our services this morning.  The recorded service it a bit longer than usual, but the testimonies of the men and their singing is not something to be missed.  Teen Challenge is celebrating 60 years of helping young men (and now even women) from the addiction of drugs and alcohol.  I hope everyone will take the time to listen (or relisten) to their stories to see the wonderful power of the gospel over addiction.
