Verse(s) of The Week:
John 6:47-71
47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. (John 1:14)
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. (John 5:37-38)
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. (John 5:25-26)
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[b] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life
60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
Special Readings of GOD'S Word
Reading of GOD'S WORD
1 Samuel 2:1-10
Hannah's Prayer
And Hannah prayed and said,
“My heart exults in the Lord;
my horn is exalted in the Lord.
My mouth derides my enemies,
because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 “There is none holy like the Lord:
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so very proudly,
let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty are broken,
but the feeble bind on strength.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.
The barren has borne seven,
but she who has many children is forlorn.
6 The Lord kills and brings to life;
he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low and he exalts.
8 He raises up the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap
to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,
and on them he has set the world.
9 “He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,
but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,
for not by might shall a man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces;
against them he will thunder in heaven.
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth;
he will give strength to his king
and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
The word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. Psalm 33:4
Interim Pastor: Ben Anderson
Statement of Faith
We Believe:
1. WE BELIEVE The scripture of the Holy Bible, both old and new testaments, to be the inspired Word of GOD, without error in the original autographs, the complete revelation of his will for the salvation of all persons and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.
2. We BELIEVE In one GOD of all things seen and unseen, Divine originator of all principalities, powers and authorities, infinitely perfect and eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. WE BELIEVE That Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, Fully God and Fully Man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and was crucified to death on a Roman Cross as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind, fulfilling the prophecies concerning the messiah in the scriptures. Further, He rose from the dead, ascended into heaven where at the right hand of God He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
4. WE BELIEVE That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict man, regenerate the living sinner, and indwell, instruct and empower the believer for Godly living and service, guiding all believers to walk in Truth, Love, and Obedience.
5. WE BELIEVE That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore separated from God and lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be restored.
6. WE BELIEVE That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection provide the ONLY grounds for salvation and justification for all who believe, and only those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Sovereign Lord are born of the Holy Spirit, thus becoming children of God, which is a permanent condition.
7. WE BELIEVE That water baptism and the Lord's Supper (Communion) are sacraments to be observed and commemorated collectively be the church during the present age of grace. They are not, however, to be regarded as a means of salvation.
8. WE BELIEVE That the true church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ, His bride preserved for Him at his second coming, which is His Church of which He is the Head.
9. WE BELIEVE That only those who are members of that true church are eligible for membership in this local church body.
10. WE BELIEVE That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of this church body and every local church has the responsibility and right, under Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, to make decisions governing it's own affairs without interference.
11. WE BELIEVE In the imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. This hope has a vital bearing on every aspect of the lives of each believer that should bear fruit worthy of their calling, abilities, and spiritual gifts.
12. WE BELIEVE In the bodily resurrection of believers from the grave, of the believer's everlasting and permanent joy in the presence of God; of the unbeliever's
