Traditional Worship 6-27-21 THE TEN[DER] COMMANDMENTS: Tall Tales Everyone lies. But just because everyone’s doing it doesn’t make it right. Abraham lies about his relationship to Sarah because of fear. He also tries to justify his lie by pointing out how it is partially true. We do many of the same things. Yet, because Christ is the Truth (cf. John 14:6), we are called to be truthful.

Contemporary Worship 6-20-21 THE TEN[DER] COMMANDMENTS: Beg, Borrow But Don't Steal God loves to provide for us (cf. 2 Corinthians 9:10). Stealing takes what God has provided for someone else and tries to commandeer it for oneself. Therefore, stealing distrusts God’s provision. Theft, of course, is not just a crime of the poor. As the story of Zacchaeus demonstrates, even the rich can fall prey to distrusting God’s provision. The remedy for theft is both faith in God and generosity toward others. Do we live our lives in this way?

In this devotion Pastor Augie shares thoughts from 1 Corinthians 8:1-13.

In this devotion Pastor Augie shares thoughts from Deuteronomy 18:15-20. A Scripture referenced by PA: "In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe." - Hebrews 1:1-2... *Correction: Moses led the people out of EGYPT, not Israel.

"Chosen by God" Ephesians 1:3-14 - Blessed by being "in Christ" "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves." - Ephesians 1:3-6

Worship Service 1-24-21 Lead Where You Are: Prophet During this pandemic, leadership is needed now more than ever. No matter who you are, someone is looking to you to help them through. Christ’s ministry consisted of three ways He led us as a prophet (someone who proclaimed God’s Word), as a priest (someone who sacrificed on our behalf), and as a king (someone who rules according to God’s ways). Christ, in turn, gives to us what He has done. He is a prophet who calls us to ...speak His Word as His witnesses. It can be tempting to grumble and argue during a time like this. Yet, we are called to hold on to and hold out God’s Word of life to a world that needs it. This is what Paul did for the Philippians and this is what we are called to do for our world. My Next Step(s): - I will seek to reduce my grumbling, complaining and arguing. - I will reflect before I speak, recognizing that sometimes I lead by what I do NOT say. - I will be intentional about what I DO say - such that I hold forth the Word of Life. - I will seek to leave a legacy that brings glory to God on the Day Jesus returns.

How will you seek God’s presence instead? Action: - Who do you know who is going through a storm? How can you show them God’s love this week? - Look for the ways God was with you during a stormy season in your life. Then thank Him for it in prayer and worship this week.

Happy Thanksgiving and God's blessings!

Thanksgiving Eve Service 11-25-20 A Heart of Gratitude: What does it mean to bless the Lord? Christians can bless the Lord by concentrating on all of the benefits we receive from him, and by giving him praise.

Worship Service 11-22-20 When it comes to understanding God, it can be all too tempting to trust ourselves rather than God’s Word. We try to trust our consciences, our culture, or our comprehension. But going beyond God’s Word either allows us to create a God in our own image (Mark 7:1-13) or saddles us with burdens we cannot bear (Matthew 23:4). My Next Step(s): - I will not subtract from the Word of God, or ignore it.... - I will not add to the Word of Godrules, regulations, traditions or otherwise. - I will not make God in my image, rather I will conform my life to the Word of God. - I will find a time, place and pattern (tools) to daily experience the Word of God!

Worship Service 11-15-20 Faith Alone The way in which we receive God’s grace is through faith. We trust that God wants to forgive and save us. If we seek to work for what God has given, we are saying that God’s work is not enough. Do we trust God’s work so completely that we do not try to add to it or augment it? My Next Step(s):... - I will check sources to verify the truth of something before sharing it. - I will not lie or move the mark in order to justify myself! - I will not justify my sinfulness by comparing myself to others. God is my standard. - I will examine the Scriptures to test what they say about me, and about God. - I will find true peace through Faith Alone in Christ Alone by Grace Alone.

Contemporary Worship 11-8-20 Grace Alone - Grace is when God gives us what we do not deserve. In a culture that works on merit, that can be difficult for us to accept! Yet, even if grace goes against our cultural senses, it is a deep spiritual need for each and every one of us. My Next Step(s): - I will thank God that I am released from my burden of performance.... - I will receive with gratitude God’s underserved and free gift of Grace! - I will not be jealous or otherwise begrudge others of receiving God’s grace. - I will strive to be gracious to those who are indebted to me.

Contemporary Worship 10-11-20 Am I Knows for What I am For or Against? It can be so easy to look at others and judge them! We all struggle with self righteousness. As Jesus reminds us, however, judgment starts with discerning our own sins rather than decrying the sins of others. When we jump to judging others, it can be very difficult to be for them. My Next Step(s):... - I will strive to be known for what I am for rather than what I am against. - Because of Jesus, I will choose mercy. - Because of Jesus, I will choose peace. - Like Jesus, I will love the sinner, even if I hate the sin. - I will act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.
