Pastor Chase Riebel spoke from 1 Peter 3:13-22 about maintaining hope. The book of Peter encourages those who suffer persecution to lean on the hope of eternal life with Jesus. Suffering is rewarded. We must replace fear with worshipping Christ as Lord of our life.
Howard Reiter titled his communion meditation from Matthew 5:13-16 “I Have Just Seen Jesus.” If we see someone in a crisis, maybe financial or otherwise, and we help to meet their need, it brings glory to God. People can see the love of Christ through our actions.
Brant and Danelle McGhee led worship with the songs “King of Glory,” “Son of David,” “Gratitude” and “All the Poor and Powerless.” Danelle talked about the story in Mark where a blind man named Bartimaeus was healed because of his faith when he asked Jesus to make him see.
Roger Culler and Marie McCullough, choosing to live a life following Christ, were both baptised following the morning service.
Join us on Saturday, Sept. 20, for a night of worship featuring music from several local groups.
