Father's Day - a time of celebration for many, but also a time of sadness for some. It is meant to be a joyful day, but for many it has every other emotion except for joy. Today, as you worship, no matter what your situation is like with your dad or your child, look to the one who is your Heavenly Father. No parent on earth is perfect. No parent on earth can give us all that we need. Only God, Abba, can fully be for us and give to us what we need. He knows our pains and our joys.
As we finish looking at and listening to Habakkuk, it is a time for rejoicing. Life may not always be fair. Life may not be as you had imagined. Life may not always be filled with laughter. Yet, may we choose to rejoice in God, the Lord of our Salvation.
A Certain Joy In Uncertain Times

Lost & Found
June 28, 2020 • Robin Stuber • Luke 15:8–10
This week we look at a very short “treasure” buried in the parables of the lost. Jesus is renewing the mind through a “parable.” This is a real-life example of a common practice in that day that spoke to them and still speaks to us! Jesus is so smart!!
A Revival of Mercy
June 14, 2020 • Bill Williamson • Habakkuk 3:1–16
As we continue with Habakkuk this morning, we listen in on the prayer of Habakkuk. Habakkuk knows that God's wrath is coming - the Chaldeans/Babylonians are going to invade Judah and destroy their land and take the Israelites captive. Yet, Habakkuk does not give up on the God of Redemption. Habakkuk prays for mercy in the midst of God's wrath. As God was merciful in the past, so Habakkuk asks God to merciful once again. Habakkuk recalls many ways God worked in the past - and he knows that the God of yesterday is the same today and tomorrow. As you listen to the prayer of Habakkuk, allow God to remind you of the ways He has been merciful to you and to our church. As we watch all that happening in our world, and particularly in the cities and streets of our country, ask God to be merciful once again. Ask God to bring about a Revival of Mercy in us, in our church, in our city, country and world.
Forever Eyes - Communion Sunday
June 7, 2020 • Dennis Whitcher • 2 Corinthians 4:16–18
This is Communion Sunday - Please gather some bread and juice before you begin the worship service. Set up a Facebook Watch party and invite some friends & family to join you - just click the link anytime after 8:55 Sunday morning. Have you ever wondered what a different world we would live in if everyone had the view of others that Jesus has? Most of us accept that there is far more going on in the world than what we see. The world, the hatred, the confusion, the lies, the pain and suffering can keep us from seeing things the way they really are. Oh, to have the eyes of Jesus, to see what God sees, to believe that what really counts is not what we see, but what we don’t see. If we see things through the eyes of Jesus, then we will see others with the grace that Christ views us and what a different view of the world we will have. I think the Apostle Paul was trying to tell us that if we fix our eyes on Jesus we will view things differently and that is the key to having peace in life. In Christ, Dennis Whitcher
