Tune in to hear from pastors, participants, and organizers as they share their perspectives on the message of hope and sacrifice at the heart of Easter.

This Sunday, we will look into Exodus 20:12, which instructs, "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you."

This command emphasizes the importance of respecting and honoring one's parents. It is connected to the promise of prosperity and long life in the land God is giving to the Israelites, highlighting the foundational role of family relationships in society.

This Sunday, Pastor Jake will preach from Exodus 20:8-11, where God commands the Israelites to remember and keep the Sabbath day holy. It instructs them to work for six days, but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to the Lord. No work is to be done on this day, including by servants, animals, or foreigners.

The command emphasizes rest for everyone, reflecting God's example in creation. God created the heavens, earth, and all that is in them in six days and rested on the seventh. Therefore, God blessed and sanctified the Sabbath, making it a holy day for all to observe.

As we are looking into the topic of prayer this Sunday, we will zoom in on the Lord's Prayer, where Jesus teaches us to pray with humility, asking God for His kingdom, daily provision, and forgiveness. We also seek protection from temptation and evil. Jesus emphasizes that God will forgive us if we forgive others, but if we don’t forgive, we won’t be forgiven. The prayer encourages trust in God's care and alignment with His will. It reminds us that forgiveness is essential in our relationship with both God and others.

We’re starting our new series on Prayer this Sunday.

We’ll dive into the message from Exodus 2:23-25, where the Israelites are suffering under slavery in Egypt, and their cries for help reach God. After many years of oppression, God hears their groaning, remembers His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and looks upon His people with compassion.

Join us as we hear this encouraging message and learn that we can pray with confidence, knowing that God hears us, responds according to His plan, and remains faithful to His promises, offering us His compassion in our time of need.
