| Worship with us, July 19, 9:30am. Join us in person or on our YouTube channel. Pastor Erick Swanson will be preaching on the Gospel of Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 Upcoming Worship Helpers July 19, 9:30 am Greeters/ Ushers: Liz Hansen Reader: Amanda Turnquist Sound/ Screen/ Streaming: Cheryl Young Musician: Georgine Bellamy Counters: Lisa Vossekuil and Jen Acton Communion Server: Tom and Jen Acton Communion Bread: Kim Patience Acolytes/ Crucifer: Devotions from God Pause: Devotions from God Pause: At seven, while living in my original home, I was able to stay with my grandma for a week on a farm in central Nebraska. When I returned home, for the first time I realized that our house was dirty. That insight stayed with me and helped change me into being something of a “neatnik”. Paul had a similar revelation in Romans. In chapter seven he came to the realization that he did not do the good he wanted because sin dwelt in him. He found solace in the news that Jesus overcame sin in the cross and resurrection, and that the Holy Spirit was nearby leading him in the ways of God. He (we) no longer had to be bound by visible, social systems and worldly realities; he (we) could instead live from the perspective and values of the Spirit. Even if flesh realities are close by, the Spirit is near us. Sunday Bible Study: Bible Study will meet at 11:00 a.m. following morning worship in the classroom near the church office. We invite questions, comments, and connections, as we expand upon the readings from the worship service. |
