Faithfulness: Part 4

Sunday :: Worship / Fellowship

Message for Sunday, August 6th

Remaining faithful to one’s calling as a Christian seems to be increasingly hard. There are a lot of external things that are putting pressure on us. There are cultural values that conflict with things the Bible says. There are so many voices that question a basic understanding of God’s Word. If we actually choose to follow Jesus in the way the Bible encourages us to, we will “stand out” — and quite likely face ridicule. And yet we are called to His Love and called to be Love in this world. Today we will talk about what it means to be a holy and faithful people of God.

Scripture

13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, 14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. 16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.

1 Peter 2:13-17

Growthday :: Events

Summer in the Psalms

If you are looking for a small group, Bible study, or prayer journey this summer, consider a weekly dive into the Psalms with the Prayer Ministry. It starts Wednesday June 7 at 7:00 pm at the church. Everyone is welcome, and so are snacks and drinks! Teens are invited to volunteer for child care on a pay-by-donation basis. Summer is often busy, so just come when you can. We hope participants will learn and pray favorite and obscure Psalms more deeply. Contact Nik or Elsbeth Grosfield for more information.
