In life, there are two paths we can walk. Depending on the path we choose, we will either benefit or see problems arise. When we meet this Sunday, we will discuss what it means to walk with the wise, why we should choose that path, and how it helps us and others!

It is always good to be reminded of why we do the things we do. Some of us are “well seasoned” in our Christian walk and can be encouraged by these reminders. Others who are young in their faith walk can be encouraged as well as get clarification as to why we baptize people, how we do it and what the big deal is about it. 

This week we come to the end of our short journey in Psalm 119, and naturally, we will look at the ending. I want us to walk with this Psalmist and learn why, after all he has written, he ends with him asking God to seek him out because he is just another lost sheep. 
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we gather as a community to worship together. 

What happens when the light shining on your path forward leads you to a very uncomfortable place? What do you do when you land where God wants you to be? Would you wonder, complain, or sing?
 
Let’s get together Sunday and see what that looked like for Paul and Silas.

This week as we continue in Psalm 119, we will learn that His word is sweeter than honey in our mouths. Looking at the temptations of Jesus, we see that, along with that truth, storing God’s Word in our hearts, protects us from taking off on the wrong roads as we speak His truth in this world.

This week we begin a series in Psalm 119, often called the Psalm of the Word. It is the longest chapter in all of the Bible, and there is so much written there that benefits the believer, I thought it good to spend a few weeks looking at select portions of it.
Along with that, we will see how the whole Bible ties together and points in one direction -toward Jesus Christ, our Savior and King.
I look forward to seeing you all this coming Sunday morning and Sunday evening, where beginning at 4pm, we will have our cookout and then an evening of worship. 

Coming to the end of this letter to the church in Thessalonica, Paul gave practical advice and encouragement to them.
There are two short groupings here that I believe are very important for us to get a hold of. 
Rejoice, pray, give thanks being one. The other, no less important, is, don’t quench the spirit, don’t despise prophecy, and hold fast to what is good.

Coming to the end of the letter that Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica, we will focus on the things he now instructs them in. It has been a great journey so far, and coming off of the awesome assurance of Christ’s return, Paul turns to practical day to day things. He ends with the encouraging words of what the church is supposed to do as a community of believers, now that they know what they know.

This weekend we are continuing on in the Thessalonian letter. The return of our King is our hope and joy, and how we live that joy out each day actually shines the light of Jesus into our wider community.

We come to a passage of scripture in our studies of 1 Thessalonians that is the hope of the Church. The day when Jesus comes back and rules and reigns as King of Kings. It is a passage that brings encouragement and excitement for all who are waiting for Jesus to return. 
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday so that we can look at this together and celebrate. Remember, friends, that no matter what may be happening in our world today, Jesus our King still sits on His throne, and He is coming back to take His own to Himself.
