The promises of God are a central theme throughout the Bible, serving as a testament to God’s faithfulness, love, and sovereignty. These divine assurances are not only foundational to the narrative of Scripture but also vital to the life of every believer. God’s promises are woven into the fabric of God’s covenantal relationships with humanity, offering hope, guidance, and assurance of God’s eternal plan.

Throughout scripture we see how God promises to reward the believer and punish the evil doer. In our humanness, many of us would like to see that within our lifetime, but that isn’t always God’s Perspective. As believers in Christ we are called to see the bigger picture and have faith in the fact that God will address all things with justice, mercy, and love. Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures we see God’s Faithfulness revealed.

It’s easy to love others who love us, but what about those who don’t have our best at heart, what do we do then? Come and hear what the Holy Spirit would say to each of us.

Join us for worship beforehand at 10:30 a.m. ET, onsite, online, or on demand. You are welcome here—and we can’t wait to gather with you.

By Faith
Rev. Dr. Teresa Tygart

Open Hearts, Open Hands: Join Our New Communion Service Team

A new Worship Service Communion Team is forming, and we invite you to be a part of extending God’s radical welcome to our community—both onsite and online.

Whether you are looking for a deeper way to engage in worship or want to offer a ministry of presence, there is a place for you here.

You can serve in a variety of meaningful ways:

* Co-Celebrant: Stand at the altar and help lead the table.
* Prayer Server: Administer communion and offer prayerful support to those receiving.
* Elements Bearer: Hold the bread/wafer and juice during the service.

No prior experience is necessary! We will provide all the training you need. All that is required is a willing heart, an open spirit, and a little time to serve periodically during worship.

If you desire to show God’s love through prayer and presence, please prayerfully consider this opportunity.
