Sunday Worship, 11/15/2020

We will be continuing our Fall sermon series called, Need Change? (Finding Hope from People Who Found Change). Each message looks at different Bible characters whose lives changed when it seemed impossible. If they could find change, maybe we can, too…

Tomorrow I will preach a message from Luke 7:36-50 entitled, “The Transforming Power of a Great Forgiveness.” We will see Jesus in an incredible interaction with a religious man and a sinful woman in a room full of people. It is full of life-changing surprise about forgiveness and love for our lives today.

So please join us for the Worship Service tomorrow at 10:30 AM, in person or by WebEx.
Our song response will be in person, and also by YouTube.
Sunday School for 5th-12th Grades and Adults will follow the service at 12:00 PM, in person (Adult Class also by Webex).
A recording of the sermon will be posted on the church website later in the day.

Worship Service 11/1/2020

Hello to all in our Emmanuel Chapel church family,

Happy Reformation Day! We stand on the shoulders of giants — the Reformers whom God used 500 years ago to lead a true “back to God” movement which declared: Faith alone, Christ alone, the Bible alone. May the Lord use us to bring his revival to our world today!

Can you believe tomorrow is November? Don’t forget to “fall back” tonight, turning your clocks back one hour before bed.

And as we prepare to worship and take the Lord’s Supper together, remember that if you would like prayer for something during the pastoral prayer time in the worship service tomorrow, please email me back about it today, and we will be happy to pray for you tomorrow.

We will be continuing our Fall sermon series called, Need Change? (Finding Hope from People Who Found Change). Each message looks at a different character in the Bible whose life changed when it mattered most, but seemed impossible. If they could find change, maybe we can, too…

Tomorrow I will preach a message about The Twelve from Matthew 14:22-33, entitled, “Walking With The One Who Walks on Water.” We will see the first disciples — twelve men who would later become Apostles and pillars of the church — stuck on a boat in a storm, and out of options. God got them unstuck in an amazing way, and we will watch them being changed before our eyes. And we will seek that same transformation for ourselves.

So please join us for the Worship Service tomorrow at 10:30 AM, in person or by WebEx.
Our song response will be in person, and also by YouTube.
Sunday School for 5th-12th Grades and Adults will follow the service at 12:00 PM, in person (Adult Class also by Webex).
