Hello All,
Summer is whooshing by. 🙂
Here is this week’s bulletin.
Dave
My father was a man of God. One of the best examples of following Jesus Christ I have ever seen. He was very flawed and wonderful all at the same time because of the redemptive work of God in his life.
This is the faith–fiery furnace faith–that my Dad passed on to us. Dad would have died for his faith. He took some real “hits” during his lifetime for this faith with no regrets. I remember a very good job that he lost because his employer changed the rules and a few years down the road demanded that Dad work almost every Sunday. They didn’t want to fire Dad; wanted him to quit but he would have no part of that. Sticking to his principles he did.
He, and we as a family, paid a financial price for the next several years because of this but Dad had no regrets, and I am so proud of him for that.
In Daniel 3 we see three Jewish men who had been through terrible upheaval in their young lives. They went from royalty and nobility to captive slaves in the blink of an eye. But they bounced back and with God’s blessing were prospering in this foreign land.
Only to have their entire lifestyle and lives threatened again.
So would they be willing to give up everything as their new king demanded service and worship to a golden image? Or would they compromise, rationalize and hang on to what they had?
In evangelicalism we make too many deals. We proclaim lives of love and faithfulness, but do we hold true? And if we do not hold true, then what exactly have we passed on to our children?
Message Title: Fiery Furnace Faith
Message Text: Daniel 3:1-30
Message Title: Each Person Gives an Account
Message Text: Romans 14:1-12
We continue our study in Romans this week, and the Apostle Paul speaks to matters of conscience.
We must have a clear picture of this moment in eternity in which we stand before God Most High. Not for fear, but for amazing joy and peace. Paul doesn’t write to us to scare us to death but to point us toward the tremendous blessing of trusting God in all things.
We are not going to be called to “the witness stand” to recollect someone else’s sins and shortcomings. We are going to stand before God to give an account of our lives. Picture the joy that we will share with our heavenly Father at that moment as he reveals tremendous “faith” highlights as we lived our life anticipating this amazing moment.
Hello All,
We will have a guest speaker for morning worship on this coming Sunday June 7, 2015 as Pastor Dave recovers from his hernia surgery. Larry Rickard will be sharing with us.
Also, we will have NO EVENING SERVICE for June 7, 2015.
Thanks,
Dave
Hello to You,
Here are the message audio files for May 17, 24 and 31.
As usual I have the MP3 file for this week’s message, but I am considering also including the .WMA (Windows) format. If you have a Windows machine and do not have iTunes or another MP3 compatible audio player, then maybe you have not been able to play the audio I have been posting.
So for this week (and maybe from now on???) I am also including the WMA format. If you have not been able to listen before, and this allows you to listen, please let me know it was worth the extra time and effort. Thanks.
