Seven Mile Road

Listen for an update for this month at Seven Mile Melrose.

Where do you turn when the bottom falls out? When you face the big uphill life challenge or scary unknown ahead, what provides confidence or hope? We can give a simple rote answer until the situation comes.In Psalm 20, we will learn from Israel’s posture of approaching God in these type of situations and be inspired by the king’s faithful response as an example for us.
Psalm 20

Justin and Sara give you a quick update on what we're going for over the next few weeks as we gather to pray together.

David gives us a glimpse of the unique power and majesty and reach of the Anointed King of God. He is powerful, his rule is over all, there is no other in all the nations. Resistance is futile, so the saying goes. But there is no despair for those who love the forever King, with the forever Kingdom, because they are His people blessed forever. You don’t need to come Sunday dressed in royal vestments to be welcome, this King welcomes all refuge seekers. 
Psalm 2

This week we will continue our Summer in the Psalms by looking at Psalm 32.
There is no end to things, relationships, jobs, or experiences that promise to make us happy.
In Psalm 32, David shows us that the way to happiness is through having our sins forgiven.
Why is this the path to happiness? Because this is the way that we stay near God

Listen to a 10-minute update from Pastor Justin's recent trip to Scotland and hear about how to pray for church planting efforts in the Scottish Highlands. 

As we begin our new sermon series _Summer in the Psalms_ this week, we’ll hear the Psalmist ask the most important question ever: “Who is allowed in the household of God?” or “Who is the person who gets to have a relationship with God?” As we hear the answer, a certain truth becomes clear: none of us measure up. Not one. Except for Jesus. Because of Jesus, this question-and-answer session that could be so crushing ends up pointing to the comfort of God’s grace.

Psalm 15

Listen to a quick update for July at Seven Mile Melrose

Three trials of Jesus occur in our passage from Luke this week. Each more sad than the one before. Any of these could set him free. Accusations are made of Jesus, but his innocence looms brightly.It’s these trials and accusations that shine a light on our guilt vs his innocence. We begin to glimpse God’s plan to allow a grave injustice that He might graciously justify His people.Luke 23:1-25

After Jesus’ arrest, he’s taken to meet with the religious leaders. He ends up denied and abandoned by a close friend, beaten, blasphemed, and berated by those guarding him, and convicted for blasphemy. The sequence of events was not only heartbreaking, but it was also prophecy-fulfilling. The very lies people told about Jesus only confirmed that he is, in fact, the all-powerful Lord.

Luke 22.54-71
