As we head into the Fall, and run headfirst into the start of the school year, getting back into routine, and whatever else might be starting fresh for all of us, how do we find those moments of stop - those moments of rest that we definitely need? The book of Psalms gives us many examples of this, and on Sunday morning, we will discuss what it means to find Selah - opportunities to pause in the Lord's presence - in our busy and full lives.

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.
