A note from our Pastor

This Sunday we will continue our journey into the profound words of Jesus found in John 14:12-14. In this passage, Jesus makes a remarkable promise to His disciples: “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”

As we delve into Part 2 of our series, “Good, Great, Greater,” we are invited to explore the depths of what it means to live a life that not only reflects the goodness of Christ but also embraces the greatness He promises. Jesus assures us that through faith and prayer, we can participate in His divine mission, achieving even greater works for the glory of God.

Grace and Peace,
Stephen

A note from our Worship Pastor

From Everlasting to Everlasting

As I write this devotion, I’m pondering the ocean waves that I’ve watched breaking on the shoreline all week. The last day at the beach is always melancholy, we don’t want it to ever end, do we? If we have eyes to see, God’s fingerprints are all around us, especially within the beauty of His creation. The prophet Isaiah talks about God’s attributes, He calls Him the Everlasting God.

Isaiah 40:28
Do you not know? Have you not understood? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

The Lord speaks to us through His creation. Consider the ocean’s tide, the perpetual breaking of the waves. You can’t predict where they begin or where they’ll crash but they come, wave upon wave upon wave. That’s how it is with God’s faithfulness. His love, His mercy, His compassion never stops, it never fails. Like the breaking waves, He pursues us, He leads us, and He comforts us. The Lord is Spirit and like the waves, we can’t see from where He comes or know exactly where He’ll lead but we know that He is faithful and good!

And again, like the waves, there are times when the waves grow still. The Lord is that way too. In those times when the Lord seems silent or distant, we need to trust Him all the more. He is mysterious and His ways are not our ways, but He is always leading and always teaching us about His character and about His kingdom, even in the silence.

Isaiah 55:9
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Here is a saying worthy of full acceptance: When you can’t trace God’s hand, trust His heart.

So, as I sip my morning coffee and reflect on the beauty of the majestic waves, my soul finds great comfort in this truth, I know my Redeemer lives and His love for me is unceasing and without end. Help me to love you more Jesus.

Lamentations 3:22-23
The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning, Great is Your faithfulness.

I love y’all
