On Sunday guest preacher Ben Kreps shared from Psalm 133. Jesus’ saving work unites Christians to one another. Unity in the church is a gift to enjoy, a treasure to protect, and a message to communicate. May we cherish and guard our precious blood-bought unity.
On Sunday Pastor Eric preached the opening verses of the story of the great flood from Genesis 6:9-22. He reminded us of this sobering truth: nobody can escape the consequences of their sin unless they get in the boat. The flood reminds us that God sees every sin and injustice, God judges everything sin touches, and God saves those who trust in His mercy.
On Sunday, guest preacher Mark Alderton, from our sister church in Aurora, CO, preached from Psalm 13. He showed us three steps to take when suffering strikes: ask God your questions, bring God your requests, and trust God with your salvation.
On Sunday Pastor Dustin preached the creation of Eve from Genesis 2:18-25. He reminded us that the glory of humanity is that we were made in God’s image, male and female, for His glory. We are the same, yet different. The union of a man and a woman in marriage beautifully displays both our sameness and our difference. And marriage points to something beyond marriage, something you don’t need to be married to experience: the love of Jesus for His bride, the church.
On Sunday Pastor Eric finished the book of Job preaching from Job 42:10-17. He reminded us that God is using all of our grief to make us like our Savior. He is making us holy. And holy people are happy people. Our sorrows produce our joys.
