Sermon for this Week:
Many parents have a goal of teaching their children “instant obedience.” If a car is speeding down the street, and a child is about to dart into its path to chase a loose ball, instant obedience to an urgent call to “Stop!” could save the child’s life. The child’s response to the command is the result of trust in the one issuing the command, built through experience. This is a picture of the Christian’s trust relationship with God, developed through times of instant obedience, hesitant obedience, or flagrant disobedience, and facing the consequences. It is when one is fully convinced of God’s absolute love that they can trust enough to obey instantly, knowing God’s plan is for their good, even when it doesn’t make perfect sense now. Pastor Chuck will preach “Trust and Obey,” taken from Revelation 1:3, in the Sunday morning worship service. Discover the peace instant obedience to a loving heavenly Father provides.
Bible Study: “Jesus’s Farewell Message,” by Francis Chan, takes learners into the intimate setting of the Last Supper and the last words and actions of Jesus before his arrest and crucifixion. The truths illustrated are profound and weighty. This is no study for the faint of heart. Prepare to be challenged and changed as Jesus shares the lessons that will carry the disciples through the impending sorrow, unfathomable joy, and ultimate “Until I return” farewell.
