Weekly Update – October 29th, 2020
Dear Church Family,
Instead of returning to our series through The Sermon on the Mount, I want us to take a week and look at a passage from the book of Job that deals with suffering. One of the aspects of being a pastor is that there are parts of your personal life that are lived out publically. This includes joys and celebrations, but it also includes times of suffering. Less than two weeks ago my family suffered one of the greatest trials we had ever been through. It has been and still is a process that we are working through as we strive to remain steadfast in hope, trusting in the Lord. We are not the only ones who have ever walked through trials though. It seems as though over the past several months, several of our families have walked through tremendous difficulties where they have had to lean into the Lord even more than they may have in the past. Therefore this week, I want us to walk through together what it looks like to see the Lord in the midst of the darkness.
This week we be in Job 13:15a as we consider “Seeing in the Darkness.” I hope that you will join us in person or via livestream.
Serving Him with You,
Pastor Michael Nelson
