This week in worship, we continue Part 4 of our Bible series, “Why You Need to Act on What You Don’t Want to Hear” with the Book of Jeremiah. Pastor Doug shares about the ancient human practice of boasting and God providing a different option in the verses from Jeremiah…

Our Advent theme is “Love is the Gift of Christmas.” Justice is what love looks like in practice. Pastor Doug begins Part 4 of our Bible series, and this third week of Advent sharing from the prophet Isaiah who talks about some specific ways God’s people can put love in action.

All human love – spouse to spouse, parent to child, family member to family member, friend to friend, follower of Jesus to anyone else – all these examples of love are based on God’s love for us.

They are an inspiring example to all of us.

Nehemiah chapter 3 tells us about all the people that work together to build the wall around Jerusalem. The same is true today, it takes all of us to build the church. Every person is important! We all have part or role to play!
