This Sunday we will look at this mysterious figure Paul calls the “Man of Lawlessness”. Who is he? Who could he be? Did the disciples and the generation after them think he had come already? For believers of every generation, we find comfort in knowing Jesus is King and He has already won, regardless of who this man may be.

This week, we begin a journey with Paul and the Thessalonian church. Our topics are the Judgment of God, the end of all things, and what that looks like, or what they perceive it to look like. 
These messages will be somber and yet, joy-filled, as we look at the reality of God’s coming kingdom and the assurances all believers have. I look forward to growing, understanding and learning together as we look at very relevant topics for us, even today.

This week we return to Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonian church. We are going to find a group of people who are known for their love of Jesus and each other. That being so clear that people were coming to Jesus as a result.

Yet, along with that came a deeper persecution and some teachings which unsettled them. So, for the next few weeks we are going to look at what those things were, how Paul encouraged this church and reminded them to never forget the important things being taught to them. 

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.

This week we begin a series in Psalm 119, often called the Psalm of the Word. It is the longest chapter in all of the Bible, and there is so much written there that benefits the believer, I thought it good to spend a few weeks looking at select portions of it.
Along with that, we will see how the whole Bible ties together and points in one direction -toward Jesus Christ, our Savior and King.
I look forward to seeing you all this coming Sunday morning and Sunday evening, where beginning at 4pm, we will have our cookout and then an evening of worship.
