    During this Sunday service, hurricane Irma was impacting the state of Florida. As a church we canceled the planned message for the morning and instead were challenged to put our love into action by meeting the needs of those impacted by the recent storms. 
     
    We are partnering with Midwest Food Bank, who works directly with Salvation Army, to get the items into the hands of those who need it most.

    Who are the descendants of Korah and why did they long to be in God's presence? If you don't have something to look forward to in the future, it is easy to allow your present to become hopeless. We have a future hope that can help us to press on through hard situations.

He deals with this very issue and takes us on his journey from believer, to doubter, to wrestler, to one who gets past his pain and is able to worship God. If you are in a place of doubt, God is able to listen to your frustration and take you to a place of victory as well.

    Psalm 1 – Delight in God’s ways
    Series: Psalms
    Psalm 1:1-6 and Psalm 2:10-12
     
    The first two psalms can serve as an introduction to all five books that make up Psalms. Psalm 1 provides the Lord's instruction in wisdom and Psalm 2 introduces God's rule over a rebellious world. Both provide a foreshadowing for the need and refuge we can find in the future Messiah, Jesus Christ.  "A godly person is influenced not by unrighteous people, but by their meditation on the Word of God." Doing so will provide both joy for our life and allow you to be fruitful for the Lord.

    Faith and Hope Conclusion – Persevere!
    Hebrews 12:1-3 and Jude 24
     
    All of Hebrews 11 is pointing us to a challenge found in the beginning of Hebrews chapter 12. We can run the race God has marked out for us by looking to those who have gone before us, taking a look at ourselves and fixing our eyes on Jesus. How well are you running the race? What one thing might God be asking you to do, so you can run more completely for him?
