This Sunday one of our elders, Tyler Merchant, taught out of the book of Jeremiah. We were reminded that God calls us to do things that we might not feel ready for but God equips us along the way. As God equips us, we grow more in God.

In Isaiah 61, God uses a planting/gardening metaphor. He is planting "oaks of righteousness" to display His glory (v3), and He is causing "righteousness and praise" to sprout up (v11)!

Ask yourself:
What is sprouting up in my life?
What kind of seed have I been sowing into my life?
And what have I been sowing into my family?

This Sunday Terry Schertzer taught out of the book of Isaiah. We learned about man's sin and how even though we always fall short, Jesus still died for us and wants us to come to Him!

This Sunday we looked at a moment in the life of the prophet Isaiah. When he came face to face with the Holy, Holy, Holy God of Glory, he suddenly became fully aware of his brokenness and it was the greatest gift he could receive.

This Sunday Pastor Jon taught out of the book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon thought that all kinds of earthly things would lead him to happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction but it all fell flat...

This Sunday Pastor Jon talked about the power of words. Words are powerful so must grow to use them wisely.
It is important to ask ourselves, are my words:
True
Helpful
Inspiring
Necessary
Kind

This Sunday we were in 2 Kings where we saw what happens to God's people when they slowly allow sin to hang around, pretend that it's not a big deal, ignore people who've been sent to speak truth, and eventually grow numb to God's pursuit.

The results are devastating.

But...there is GOOD NEWS!
