On Sunday Pastor Eric preached from 1 Peter 3:8-17. We have no say in many of life’s trials. However, when it comes to suffering for righteousness’ sake, there are plenty of times we have to choose. Faithfulness to God often means ridicule from men. When faced with the choice, we choose to suffer because the good life is a life of fellowship with our Savior, not a life of worldly comfort.
On Sunday Pastor Eric preached from Genesis 3:8-24. Adam and Eve have sinned by eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Now the Lord confronts them. Most of us wonder why God would offer such a severe penalty for what seems to be such a petty crime. But that’s the wrong question. The right question is: why wasn’t the penalty more severe? Even at the very beginning, God responds to sin with amazing grace.
On Sunday Pastor Eric preached from Genesis 1:2-31. What do we believe about the genesis of the cosmos? Were the days of creation literal or metaphorical? Is the earth billions or thousands of years old? There’s room in our hearts and on our bookshelves for different answers to these questions. Here’s what we must believe: God created all of it from nothing, He delights in everything, and He invests His very likeness into mankind.
There are many discussions and issues that the people of Old Towne Orange care deeply about. We care about them too.
This week Pastor Eric and Pastor Dustin kicked off a Facebook Live broadcast aimed at engaging in these discussions with our neighbors. The first topic: local politics.
Check out the first broadcast.
Stay tuned for more and make sure to send in questions you’d like the pastors to tackle.

Born unto a virgin, lived a perfect life
Greatly suffered, dying for us

To judge the living and the dead
Usher in the age to come
Let everyone sing “Amen”
