From the Pastor’s Desk…
Greetings children of God.
Romans 4:13, 20-25 – “For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith…No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was “reckoned to him as righteousness.” But the words, “it was reckoned to him,” were written not for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”
Abraham’s life wasn’t without trial and tribulation, even after God came into his life. And even though there were times when he doubted, Abraham trusted that God was able to do what he promised. We too can trust that God is able to do what he promised. The trials and challenges we face in this world may tempt us to doubt God’s promises, but just as he did with Abraham, God will strengthen our faith, assure us of his promises, help us to trust him, and believe that he will fulfill all he said he would do, even if at the time it doesn’t seem possible. Let us pray, Lord, I believe. Assure me when I doubt and strengthen my faith in you. Amen.
This Saturday we will have a workday at the church. We’ve got some things to do both inside and out. We’ll get started about 9am and should finish up around noon, if not before. Please come and help if you are available.
The retired men’s group will meet Monday in the fellowship hall at 8am to continue our Bible study on the Book of Ephesians.
So far, $31,622.00 has been raised for the sanctuary updates. That means we’ve got $878.00 to go by Sunday.
Blessings on your day.
Pastor Tim

This just in…
Greetings children of God,
This year, the NWOS is inviting everyone to join them in 2022, as we read the Poets and Prophets. You can click on the link below to get the daily reading guide. Spending time reading God’s Word daily is something we should all do, however, many times it feels daunting or more like a task, something we have to do instead of something we want to do, because we’re not sure how long we should read for or how much we should read. The daily reading guide for the Poets and Prophets resolves these issues as the readings are the equivalent of about a chapter a day, sometimes less, sometimes a little more. Reading a chapter a day takes about 3-5 minutes and after reading, I encourage you to spend some time reflecting on what you’ve read. You may just be surprised as to what you think, feel or experience. I look forward to this journey with you.
God’s blessings,
Pastor Tim
