This Sunday is Labor Day Sunday, a special time to gather together and worship the Lord. David, the great king and psalmist, wrote, I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever, Psalm 145:1, 4, 21. When we activate those action words in our lives, we exalt, we praise, we extol, we commend, that’s Worship! When we PRAISE, we celebrate the great things God has done; when we WORSHIP, we celebrate the greatness of God.

This Sunday, we will not only gather together to WORSHIP, but also to say thank you and celebrate the ministry of Colene Wiens. Colene has guided us into WORSHIP every Lord’s Day for the past 13 years. She has a passion for WORSHIP and a gift to express that passion through our Worship Department.

Join us this Sunday, as we WORSHIP, celebrate and say thank you. And plan to stay after the service as we will transition to a time of great food, fun, and fellowship. This will be a Sunday to remember!

This Sunday we will complete our series, A Minor Prophet with a Major Message, by looking at Malachi - the final book of the Old Testament. Many people know Malachi mainly for its challenging words about tithes and offerings - "Will a man rob God?" - but this short book carries a much broader and deeper message.

Malachi was written to people who had returned outwardly, but whose hearts had drifted inwardly. God's people were going through the motions, but the wonder, reverence, and surrender that should mark His people were fading. Into that condition, God spoke with both truth and mercy, Return to Me, and I will return to you,” 3:7.

That is what makes Malachi so timely for us. It reminds us that spiritual decline rarely begins with open rebellion. More often, it begins quietly - with disappointment, distraction, cynicism, and giving God what is left, instead of what is first. Malachi calls us back to wholehearted worship, covenant faithfulness, and renewed trust in the Lord. And the book does not end with rebuke - it ends with hope. Malachi points forward to the coming of Christ. The God who corrects His people is also the God who invites them back. He exposes sin, but He does so in order to restore.

As we come to the close of this series, Malachi's message is one we all need: don't settle for outward religion without inward devotion. The Lord still says, “Return to Me” - and His promise is still full of grace, “I will return to you”.

This Sunday, I will share a message from the Book of Zechariah entitled, “When God Rebuilds Your Hope.”

Zechariah spoke to people surrounded by rubble, disappointment, opposition, and unfinished work. Into that discouragement, God gave them a message they desperately needed to hear, “I have not forgotten you. I am not finished with you.”

This powerful book reminds us that God calls us back to Himself, cleanses what we cannot cleanse on our own, empowers us by His Spirit, and tells us not to despise small beginnings. Most importantly, Zechariah points us to Jesus—the coming King who would be pierced for our sins and open a fountain of grace and forgiveness.

If some part of your life feels unfinished, discouraged, or in need of rebuilding, this message is for you. The rubble does not get the final word. The mountain does not get the final word. Your past does not get the final word. Jesus does!

Join us this Sunday as we discover the major message of this minor prophet, God does not abandon His people in the rubble—He faithfully completes what He begins.

This Sunday, we will look at the Book of Haggai and discover a beautiful truth about the heart of God: He is the God who never stops pursuing His people.

The people of Haggai’s day had become distracted and discouraged, and focused more on building their own lives than joining God in what He was doing. Yet God didn’t walk away from them. He called them back, met them in their disappointment, reminded them of His Presence, and assured them that He was not finished with them.

Maybe you’ve experienced seasons when you’ve drifted from God, felt discouraged by your circumstances, or wondered if your failures have disqualified you. Haggai reminds us that God is more interested in rebuilding our hearts than simply rebuilding our houses. He still calls. He still restores. He still chooses. And He still has a purpose for us.

Come this Sunday, and be reminded that you don’t have to earn God’s love or prove yourself to Him. You are already His beloved. The God who was faithful to His people in Haggai’s day is still faithful to us today. We hope you’ll join us as we discover what it means to trust the God who refuses to stop pursuing.
