I love God, but I really messed up this time.

Hey family, a healthy congregation learns how to deal with sin and not to suppress or hide it. So the question is, how do you deal with sin in your life if you love God? Because even when that’s the case, the fact is that we *will* sin, we will fall short, and so there needs to be a healthy, faith-building way to address our shame, our guilt, our sin, after we’ve blown it. The psalm we’ll be studying this week deals with this in the most powerful way. The writer of Psalm 19 asks questions and declares truths because of who God is. This is what we’ll talk about on Sunday as we continue our series, “Summer in the Psalms.”

In every Sunday service, God is constructing our souls. Please come this Sunday as we grow together, and bring a friend! 10 a.m. on Sunday, 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids’ Church starts at 10 as well, for ages 5-12.

· Zoom Bible study, Mondays at 6:30: Join us to dig deep into Jesus’ last message to his disciples. All are welcome. See Pam Rosa to obtain a class booklet. Zoom meeting ID: 848 7900 1593, passcode: 697689

Don’t come to Sunday service!?!

Hey Family, as you know, many people have gotten into the habit of thinking that watching a person preach on a screen is sufficient for our spiritual nourishment. Because I love you, I want to say some important things that we all need to hear. I want you to know that growing toward spiritual maturity is NOT about getting on a screen and listening to some genius explain what he learned while reading God’s word. Rather, here at Next Step Community Church, we believe that the Sunday service should be a reflection of the Christian life. Therefore, we’ve created various components that go into that: silence, singing, serving and being served, scripture reading, communion, testifying and confession, prayer and applying God’s word.

In every Sunday service, God is constructing our souls. I’m going to be speaking to you about that throughout the summer. Please come this Sunday as we grow together. And bring a friend! 10 a.m. on Sunday, 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids’ Church starts at 10 as well, for ages 5-12.

Hey Family, we're in the last week of our series about identifying the idols of our hearts and the ways in which we can address them. Tomorrow we're going to talk about how God does his healing work through our repentance and faith.This is an important message, because we all need to be reminded that sometimes when we look in the mirror we don't see who God says we are. We need to be reminded that God is doing a great work in us.

Join us on Sunday so that we can rejoice together and move away from discouragement and toward the joy that comes from living in the Spirit. Bring a friend, family member, co-worker, anyone who needs new hope in their lives. Service is at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids’ Church (ages 5-12) starts at 10 as well.
