Sermon for this week:
Sometimes a secret is a wonderful thing: a very special diamond solitaire tucked away in a gentleman’s pocket, ready to be offered to the lady he wishes to marry; the knowledge a parent has far in advance of Christmas morning of the wrapped delights around the tree awaiting their child; the mystery of the gender of a long-desired, unborn child. The revelation of those secrets is often greeted with tears and shouts of joy. A good secret is like a treasure, just waiting to be shared.
A secret many people wish they knew more about is the end of their mortal existence and what, if anything, comes next.
God generously shares that secret with those who look to 1 Corinthians 15:51-52. Rather than fear of the unknown, Christians look with eager anticipation and great expectation to what lies ahead.
Pastor Chuck Franco will share a sermon titled “A Wonderful Secret” with the congregation this coming Sunday,
Jan. 29.
Bible Study: There are just a few sessions left of “Fearless,” Bible study by Max Lucado, but there is still much to be discovered about how to eradicate fear from becoming a stronghold in one’s life.
The study asks “What would you do if you didn’t fear failing?” Big questions and big answers are shared and addressed in this interactive, very applicable weekly Bible study. All residents and friends are welcome to join the group at any time.
