Go, Open Doors … Past, Present, Future

November 28, 2016 By Leave a Comment

Today we are celebrating the 71st Anniversary of our Church.  Pastor Ken concludes his series on “Go, Open Doors!” by connecting together the doors that were opened to bring our church into existence, with the doors that are open for us now and the doors we need to open tomorrow.  The Scripture today is taken from Romans 11:33 through 12:6.  He leaves us with 3 final thoughts on the subject of “Go, Open Doors!”:

GO AHEAD…GO OPEN DOORS:

  • –God’s wisdom & power, mercy & love is open to you
    • We enter, ‘worship’ with total abandon / sacrifice to His Lordship
  • –Human patterns /philosophy -without God, are dead-ends
    • Goodness conforms to/enters God’s will – renews & transforms
  •  Humble response to God’s grace unites us in community
    • Faithful ‘living’ is in a healthy body, which belongs to each other
Go, Open Doors!

So, what’s your story?

October 16, 2016 By Leave a Comment

Just prior to the start of today’s message, one of our young church members read from Scripture – John 9:1-27.  This is the story of the blind man. “…But I know one thing for sure: I was blind . . . I now see.” Starting from this story, Pastor Ken encourages us all to tell our own stories.

Pastor Ken draws on his experiences from the family farm to bring you this week’s message.  Do you feel like you have been running from your shepherd? Are you thirsty? Are you lonely? Are you tired or hungry? …The Shepherd is calling you. … Do you hear Him? Should you heed Him? Will you trust Him the lead you; even when sheep all around you are going their own way?  Using Ezekiel as his inspiration, he delves into these questions and helps us to answer them. Scripture today is taken from Ezekiel 34:1-12.
