Grace 242

This is the first new year in Grace 242's worship home! Therefore, we're going through our worship serving asking, "Why do we do this?"

This week we ask, "Why preach a message?" As Mark 1:14-15 instructs us, we repent and turn away from our will. Then we believe and turn to God's will. This is why we preach a message.

Message: Why preach a message?

As Grace 242 rises to our new worship home, we are looking at the rise of the temple in Jerusalem.  In Solomon's temple dedication ceremony prayer, he praises God as the one who transcends the temple, but at the same time hears Solomon's prayer.  Our God is both transcendent and immanent at the same time! Now that's unique!
