Those commands guide our lives. God tells us that our lives will go better when we follow the 10 commandments.  So, why do we so often go in the opposite direction of so many of His commands? We will sin, but willful disobedience wreaks havoc on our lives! Daily we need to go back to the Lord and ask Him for the strength, courage, and discipline to follow His commands joyfully!

Anticipating Worship: Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost, November 10, 2024—LIVE A LIFE OF STARTLING GENEROSITY

Image
Perhaps you have heard the axiom, “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” In other words, while you still can, use what you have in order to enjoy life to the fullest. If this life is all there is, St. Paul agrees that would be a good philosophy. Paul wrote, “If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die’” (1 Corinthians 15:32). However, note the “if.” Paul was saying that the epicurean approach to life makes sense only if this life is all we have. But it isn’t. Jesus will raise us from the dead and take us to live in his home, a place of perfect comfort and beauty. Knowing that, we are set free from the need to live a self-indulgent life now. Instead, we can be generous people, using the wealth that God has given us to serve both him and others. We can live a life of startling generosity. Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. • Sunday at 10:30 a.m. **Please remember that during renovation, worship is held in...

Anticipating Worship: All Saints’ Day observed, November 3, 2024—LIVE KNOWING LIFE ONLY GETS BETTER

Image
“It will get better.” We say that to try to comfort someone who is having a bad day (or maybe a whole string of bad days). Perhaps tomorrow will be better. But perhaps it’s worse. In this life, there really are no guarantees that things will get better. That isn’t the case with the life that is to come. That life isn’t just going to be better. It will be perfect. Since the seventh century, Christians have marked a day to celebrate those who have died in faith and now realize the perfect joys of heaven. It is called “All Saints’ Day.” We thank God for bringing our Christian loved ones out of the troubles and turmoil of this world and into eternal bliss and glory. And we ask God to preserve us in our faith so that we might one day join the saints in that place where life is far more than better. Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. • Sunday at 10:30 a.m. **Please remember that during renovation, worship is held in the school commons. If you ha...

He showed Pharoah who was in charge through the use of the plagues. Pharoah's heart was black(hard). He only let God's people go when God used the final plague, the death of the oldest son. God's people saw His love and protection when He parted the Red Sea to keep them safe! May we look around and see His power in our lives all around!

"Your will be done."  This was our passage this week.  The children learned it very quickly!  The words are easy to remember.  What the words mean...so much harder to put into practice!  Moses grew up, became a shepherd, and had his plan.  The Lord spoke directly to Moses from a burning bush to give Moses His plan for him.  Even with the Lord right there before him, Moses whined and looked for excuses to get out of God's plan-going to Pharoah to set God's people free. Multiple times, Moses said, "But, but, but...." ending with a straightforward, "I don't want to."...
