Wednesday Evening Online Bible Study
Wednesday Evening Online Bible Study continues tonight Wednesday, October 2 at 7:00pm. We will be taking a closer look at each of the aspects of the fruit of the Spirit that Paul mentions in Galatians 5:22-23. If there were ever a time to show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control, that time would be now.All you have to do is watch a 24 hour news cycle, and you might just realize how hard peace is to come by. I’m fact watch enough of the news and it might lead you to anxiety. Jesus came into this world to give a kind of peace the world cannot give. His peace settles fear filled hearts and fear filled minds. Find out more in tonight’s Bible study. If you need a zoom link contact Pastor Goetzinger.
Sunday 9am Bible Study
Acts: Commissioned for a Mission
In Acts 1 Jesus said to his disciples, “You will be my witnesses.” The disciples were commissioned to be something That being would inform their doing. They were commissioned for a mission. This commissioning has been given to us today. Through our study of Acts, we will see that we have been commissioned to be witnesses. We are witnesses now. We don’t cease being witnesses—we have a commission. This commission helps us carry out the task of witnessing as we share the message of the risen Jesus and his saving work.
Upcoming Sunday
Jesus has called each one of us to follow him as disciples. Yet, distractions often overshadow our spiritual focus and busyness clouds our understanding of discipleship. Over the next seven weeks, we will rediscover what it means to follow Jesus in our everyday lives. We’ll recall Christ’s mission, relearn his path, and most of all we’ll be reminded that Christ encourages and equips us to follow him as his disciples every day.
