On Sunday, May 26, Pastor Nate will return to our series, Ruth: There is a Redeemer!
••••••••
In a world marked by tragedy, where can we find hope? In a world whose promises leave us empty, where can we be filled? In a world marked by frantic busyness, where can we find rest? In a world whose mantra is “follow your heart” no matter the cost, where can we find One whose heart beats with kindness? In a world wounded by the sting of death, where can we find life? In a broken world, these questions lie just below the surface of our everyday lives, begging for an answer.
Join us now through June 2, as we consider the Old Testament book of Ruth – a vivid exploration of these human dilemmas, ultimately proclaiming the One answer to the tragedy, emptiness, busyness, selfishness, and death that plague the human condition – “There is a Redeemer.”
We are meeting in our temporary location at Lynn Road Elementary School on Sundays, while the church building undergoes renovations.
To help you prepare, the scripture for this Sunday will be:
Philippians 4:4-9 (ESV)
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
