Lovers of metaphors and figurative language have so much to enjoy with the Word of God. God is a poet! Poetry and metaphorical language are elevated written forms, so it is no wonder that God uses them so frequently in scripture. Using visuals that we can easily understand gives us great insight into the kind of people that God has called us to be, and helps us to connect familiar concepts to more complex ones. Our brains are actually wired to better remember the vivid and emotional imagery involved in this form of language.
This Sunday, February 8, we will look at verses in Matthew and the second book of Timothy, where inspired writers have encouraged us to be light and salt, soldiers and farmers, in our Christian walk. Please come and be our honored guests as we dive into the wonderful Word of God! We love visitors and look forward to meeting you!
The church in Canby is a family, desiring to work together to serve God and each other, and to model ourselves after the church that Christ established and heads. On Sunday mornings, we meet at 9:30 am for Bible classes for all ages. Our worship services, focused on the Lord’s supper, congregational singing, and a lesson, begin at 10:30 am. Midweek, we gather again for all-age Bible classes on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. Please join us any time you can! If you need more information about our congregation, please visit our website at www.canbychurchofchrist.org.
