This Sunday we return to the Old Testament and the book of Isaiah. And through our text we are reminded that as human beings, we are all looking for something to satisfy us - something to meet our deepest hunger and thirst. However, nothing we work for or buy will actually meet that need. What we need is something that is totally free for us, but infinitely costly at the same time. Come join us at God's table of grace.
This week we have the privilege of having Dan Venberg (Director of Lutheran Brethren International Missions) bring us God's Word. Dan will be preaching from Matthew, chapter 13, and reminding us of the treasure we have in Christ and in His Word.
This Sunday we get back into the New Testament and look at a passage from Romans, chapter 8. And in this powerful text we are reminded that suffering is a part of life in this broken and fallen world. Both we, and the creation around us, groan for something better. Come hear the good news that Christ has secured for us a glory that is incomparable to the suffering we may now experience.
Throughout the rest of the summer we will be looking at Scripture passages from different parts of the Bible. And in each we are going to see that God's grace abounds. This week we are going to be in Psalm 65, where we are reminded why our God is worthy of praise. We don't praise God because life is always good. We praise God because He is always good.
This Sunday, as we gather together outside at the Kirkbride with other local congregations, we'll be in 2 Corinthians, chapter 5. Pastor Dale will be one of the three who will be preaching from this amazing passage. Come and be reminded of why we need reconciliation with God. And even more so, how we get reconciliation with God.
This Sunday, as we finish up Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, he gives some practical examples of what "abounding in the work of the Lord" looks like. The victory that has been won in Christ changes our lives from being Law-driven to Gospel-driven. Join us as we hear this letter end the way our salvation begins: in the grace of the Lord Jesus.
This week, as we near the end of our series in 1 Corinthians, Paul is going to continue talking about the ramifications of the resurrection. And not only does the resurrection change the way we view death, it also should change the way we view life. The truth is, the resurrection changes us for good - both in death, and in life.
This Sunday, as we are joined by CLB Biennial Convention attendees, Rev. Roger Viksness will be preaching from Mark, chapter 10. Roger is the Director of the Rooted gap year program and will be sharing about "The Posture of the Unleashed".
This Sunday we remain in chapter 15, as Paul continues to write about the resurrection. However, in this section, he turns his attention to our resurrection bodies. There were many questions then and many questions now about what those resurrection bodies will be like. Come hear the good news that for those in Christ, we don't just survive death. In Christ, we are given new, glorified bodies made for an eternity with Him.
This Sunday we move back into the 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians where Paul expands on the ramifications of the resurrection. "For as by a man (Adam) came death, by a man (Jesus) has come also the resurrection of the dead." And this makes all the difference in the world - both for the here and now, and for eternity. Come celebrate and share our resurrection hope!
