Bill Menser. Single. Married. Straight. Gay. Queer. Trans. Cis. Our cultural moment puts so much emphasis on gender and sexual expression that it makes one wonder: what does it mean to be human? Who am I? Who has the authority to answer that question? The Bible teaches that we are uniquely made in the image of God and that only He has the authority to impart identity. Christians: “You are not your own; you were bought at a price” (1 Cor. 6:20). Jesus suffered and died to offer you eternal meaning. Purpose. God-given, soul-satisfying identity in Christ alone.

This special service is dedicated to praising God, listening to His voice, and responding as the Holy Spirit moves. As a church body we value getting even stronger at corporately hosting God's presence and being challenged by the call to participate in what he's doing. Come with expectation and readiness to share what the Holy Spirit has put in you.

Dennis and Kaku lead a church in Izu, Japan where only 1 in 1,000 people are Christians. New Day has supported their ministry for 30 years and look forward to their annual visits and updates. It's such an honor for us to be a part of what they are doing on the other side of the world.

Pastor Marilee: The word allegiance means to give your loyalty, support, and commitment - to give a cause or country higher value than yourself. By such loyalty, many patriots have fought and died to protect their countrymen. But only one man died to protect us all from the effects of sin and death. Jesus committed himself to the cause of redeeming humanity. The only proper response is to commit our lives to him in return. In this series, we will consider how to pledge allegiance to Jesus as King. We will consider what it looks like to value his kingdom above all else, especially in light of the pressure to align ourselves with political causes and candidates. “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20).
