Grace. We say it before meals. We use it to describe how a person moves. But the grace I’m most thankful for is God’s grace. The Bible teaches us that God goes beyond being fair. Instead of giving us what we deserve, he gives us mercy. And then he gives us exactly what we don’t deserve… that’s grace.

Because of his mercy and grace, when we come to him our forgiveness is complete. Our past sins are removed and forgotten. God does not continue to bring up our past wrongdoings and keep reminding us of the wrong we’ve done. His forgiveness is complete, his mercy is unending, and his grace is unconditional.

Since Christ set such an example for us, should we not do the same for others? Who in your life needs to be shown grace? It can be easy to put people in a box and remember only their past mistakes. Maybe instead we can show a little grace and move forward instead of making a list of grievances we can’t let go.

Yes, I realize this is only scratching the surface of what could be a very deep conversation. But I think everyone appreciates being shown grace given with the opportunity to move forward past their mistakes.

This Sunday Pastor Hans will be talking about the rich young ruler who came to Jesus looking for answers. Do you have questions? Come join us this Sunday!

Sunday school classes for all ages at 10:00 am. Morning worship following at 11:00 am with Super Church time for the kids!

Doesn’t it feel like fall is just around the corner? Ready or not, the seasons will be changing! You know what doesn’t change? God’s word. God’s word will stand forever and you can bank your life on that! Your eternal life, in fact!

Sending out this reminder that tomorrow is Sunday. Yes, I know…. already! Don’t forget about the special service planned for tomorrow. The kids who went to youth camp this past summer will be sharing their experiences, Max and Brittany Massangale will be sharing about their missionary journey the past several months, and there will be a baptismal service. So a lot going on, a lot to be thanking our mighty God for as we witness lives being changed for His kingdom.

Sunday school at 10:00 am will be Max and Brittany doing an informal sharing time with the classes. 11:00 am worship service following.

Extra note!! Family potluck following with pulled pork sandwiches provided, side dishes welcomed! The pork is being smoked in my neighborhood so I can tell you it’s smelling delicious!

Sunday is right around the corner… again! How do the weeks go by so quickly? As we close in on the last days of summer don’t forget to make gathering together for fellowship and learning a priority with the family of God. Love and encouragement can be found there!

Pastor Hans will be bringing the message at the 11:00 am worship service. Don’t be afraid to come at 10:00 am for Sunday school! Big kids are welcome, too!

The following Sunday, August 30th, there’s a lot going on! We have missionaries recently returned from the Philippines who will be sharing about their ministry during our Sunday school hour at 10:00 am. Our church kids who went to Camp White Branch this past summer are going to share some of their experiences, and there will also be a baptismal service, at the 11:00 am worship service. What better way to celebrate all this than a celebratory potluck! I hear pulled pork sandwiches will be provided and side dishes welcomed!
Stay tuned for more information next week!

What does God want me to do? What is his will for my life? A couple of questions we probably all wrestle with at one time or another.

Planning for your future can feel complicated and overwhelming at times. Especially, I think, as a young person heading out into the world for the first time whether it be to higher education or entering the work force.

It doesn’t end there, either. There are big life decisions that come up at any age. Should we buy this house? Should I change careers? Should I be on this committee? How should I handle social media and technology use with my kids?

It took me a while to realize that as long as we study and learn what Jesus has to say about living life, and then follow his teachings, we are free to make those choices.

The questions we need to ask ourselves are these: does the choice I’m about to make honor God? Is it in line with his teaching? If the answer is yes, it’s a choice we can make with certainty. Living within the parameters of the teachings of Jesus we can be certain he will direct our paths.

Come join us this Sunday and we can learn more about this together! Hans Kistner will be bringing the message at 11:00 am. Sunday school classes for alllll ages at 10:00 am. That means you, too!

See you there!

Did you realize tomorrow is Sunday!?! How quickly the weeks fly by!

Sunday is always a good day to reset our hearts and minds on things eternal and focus living our lives in such a way we bring honor and praise to the God of creation and his son, Jesus. Spending time together in worship and hearing God’s word is a great way to start your week. Why don’t you plan on joining us tomorrow to do just that?

Hans Kistner will be bringing the message at the 11:00 am service. Sunday school for all ages at 10:00 am.

Something to plan for coming up…

Sunday, August 30th, the kids who went to Camp White Branch this summer will be sharing about their experiences in the 11:00 am service. It’s always encouraging and enjoyable to hear what the kids have to say. Following church that day we’ll have a good old fashioned pot luck picnic!

See you soon!

The verse below tells us to accept others as Christ accepts us. The question then is, how does Christ accept us? Must we perform a certain number of good works to be accepted by Christ? Thankfully, the Bible tells us God’s grace is greater than our unworthiness, his mercy deeper than our guilt. And he accepts us just as we are when we come to him.

Don’t forget…. Sunday’s coming! Hans Kistner will be bringing the message at the 11:00 service. Sunday school for all ages at 10:00 am! The kids will be learning about prayer and how we need to be prepared for God to answer! Remember when Peter was chained and in jail for preaching the gospel? We’re going to find out what happened when Peter’s friends prayed for him.

See you Sunday!

Sunday’s coming!

The kids’ Sunday school classes are quickly coming to the end of our series on God’s Big Picture. We started with creation and are now coming to the part where the disciples of Jesus are going out teaching the gospel everywhere they go. In spite of the great persecution they suffered, thousands of people became followers of Jesus. This week we see where the old traditions were done and Jesus’ new law of love for everyone was now the rule.

Hans Kistner will be bringing the message at the 11:00 am service, Sunday school at 10:00 am with classes for all ages!

See you there!

It’s no surprise or secret that every one of us has failed at some time in our lives. Sometimes it feels like just a little bit of a failure and other times it feels so big recovery seems next to impossible. Gabe used Peter, one of the disciples of Jesus, as an example in his message last Sunday. By most any standards Peter, who was an avid outspoken follower of Jesus, failed miserably at the time of Jesus’ deepest sorrow. But even though Peter did fail, he was not a failure. He found forgiveness and redemption through his faith in Jesus and went on to become the spark that began the early church.

Since none of us are perfect we all will fail. But we don’t have to accept failure as a label that defines who we are. We have a choice. We can, through repentance and faith, accept his gift of redemption. Our debt has been fully paid and cancelled and we can live with confidence in the goodness of God and his eternal plan.

Hans Kistner is bringing the message this Sunday at 11:00. And don’t forget about Sunday school for all ages at 10:00 am! The kids will be learning about Saul, who could have most definitely been labeled a failure except for his amazing transformation from imprisoning and beating Jesus followers to being the foundation of the new church!

See you Sunday!

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Have you ever wondered what God’s will is for your life? Which direction is the right choice? The verse above tells us that by letting God transform us into a new person we can know God’s will. Being transformed into a new person means letting go of our own desires that are contrary to the nature of God and letting him change our thoughts to align with his. We can do this through Bible study on our own or with a group that provides insight and teaching. Gathering with others for corporate worship is invaluable for growth and fellowship with other followers of God’s word.

Speaking of gathering… Gabe Shorb is bringing the message this Sunday morning at 11:00 am. And, of course, Sunday school for all ages at 10:00!

Keep that transformation going! See you Sunday!
