100th Psalm. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise.

What does it mean to be face to Face with God? 2 Corinthians informs those in Christ that we have another 'dwelling with the Lord' that we enjoy and know after we leave this 'dwelling' of the physical body. We currently exist in a 'momentary affliction' that prepares us for our eternal home. We are called to look at what is unseen from this world of physical sight by faith. "For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, 18 because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal."
(2 Cor. 4:17-18)

"For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
(2 For 5:1).

This dwelling is before the final resurrection, when we will stand before God face to Face, and is the place we enjoy immediately following death. Listen to the Sunday sermon: Face to Face.

Abridged service on October 29th, 2023.

Day 2 at the CCT conference in Savannah, GA. I post the schedule so everyone can see our participation on each day. These are long days, about 12 hours of programing in each to fit in all the various Christian faith families, their practices, and discussion. Please feel free to ask questions, I will find out the answers and respond. So far, Savannah has been a great place to visit, and we couldn't ask for better weather.

Quarrels— we simultaneously seek them even as we try to avoid them. What is it about this particular human nature that has so enthralled us to the point we watch others’ quarrels nearly nonstop on TV? Do all quarrels need a protagonist and an antagonist for us to be interested? What else can we seek than to win or lose?

Come observe the anti-quarrel of communion with us this morning, or find your own table of peace and forgiveness wherever you may worship. Just don’t miss this opportunity again. Your body and soul needs this food. Worship at Trinity UMC is 10:45. Sunday school at 9:30. All are welcome.
