Genesis 1: 26-2:1
“Created to Rule”

This week we'll be opening God's Word to the first chapter in Genesis. While this chapter tells us a lot about God's creation, it specifically talks about our role within it as image bearers of God, called to rule over creation. But what does it mean to "rule" well? And what kind of "ruling" does God ask of us? We'll talk about these things and more as we also look to King Jesus, the Ruler of all.

Join us for Worship at 10:00 a.m.

Household Prayer: Morning

God of the living, from whom all blessings flow, I welcome a new day with thanksgiving because you have cared for me through the night. Wherever you send me today, whomsoever I meet, be in my going and my meeting.Grant me wisdom to cherish what you give me and generosity to share what I receive. Fill me with the Spirit so that I may show courage, kindness, and a sense of humor in the face of the day’s hardships. In Christ’s peace, may I withhold harsh judgment against those who would do me harm. Show me ways that I may serve you throughout the day and into the night so that, waking or sleeping, I live for you; in the name of the Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Household Prayer: Evening

Ancient of days, these hours of light are passing into darkness. Thank you for being with me. Let me not forget the joys you put in my life today. Send your Spirit to fill my memories with comfort and peace as I prepare for the night. Where I have failed to please you, forgive me for the sake of your Son. If I have been of help to others, let them give thanks to you. May all night songs praise you; may we evening singers rejoice in your eternal glory. And I will celebrate with your whole creation in the name of Jesus Christ when the new day that you are bringing dawns. Amen.

Sermon Preview from Pastor David: "His Ascension"

Forty days after Jesus rose from the dead, he ascended to heaven. As we get further away from that first Easter morning, we might wonder how God’s power still shows up today. Is Jesus still at work? Or was the ascension merely his escape from our world? On Sunday we will explore some of these questions through the letter of Paul to the Ephesians. We’ll see that while Jesus has gone to be at the right hand of the Father, he’s never stopped working for us. He continues to work in big and small ways for the good of God’s people.
