Why is Salvation so Hard?

This week we will worship the Lord through song, prayer and the Word. Pastor Jim will be sharing from Matthew 19, the story of the rich young man who wanted to find the way of salvation. And in him, we see the failure of a human-powered faith. Salvation is a supernatural work done by a good God. Let’s gather together and celebrate this special gift.

General Announcements

Hour in the Word! Join Pastor Casey and our pastoral intern, Sam George, for Hour in the Word (9am class in the Great room). This year our theme is “Living as Exiles: serving Christ in a non-Christian World,” and we begin with a six-week series covering the stories of Ruth, Jonah and Esther. These important books give us stories of God’s faithfulness in foreign lands and invite us to see ourselves as part of his wider story to bring hope to “every tribe, tongue, and nation.” Join us at 9am!

Thursday Women’s Bible Study: Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in the Great Room. Our study is on 1 & 2 Peter and we heartily welcome any newcomers to join us! If you have questions feel free to contact Carol Marshall, carolsings3@comcast.net or 847-274-9900.
