I really enjoyed the service this past Sunday! Damaris, Cameron and Robert did a terrific job leading us in worship. I’m very proud of them! And then the video of all the children sharing what they were thankful for was both laugh out loud funny AND quite serious. I appreciated all the effort Tim and Tonya put into pulling it together. Great job!

Equally encouraging was the Scripture reading and testimonies that were shared by Brad, Cameron and Lynn. What a meaningful reminder that God is a God of life, and that He answers prayer – amen!

And then how about the message from Pastor Tim! He unpacked the central message of Job within the context of the sovereignty of God - wow! It was outstanding! Among the notes I made, here are some of the highlights:

• Do we love God for who He is, or for only what He’s given us?
• Satan loves it when we get caught up in the religious performance cycle.
• Satan’s voice was silenced through Job’s faith. We do not hear Satan’s voice after chapter two because Job relentlessly trusted God.
• “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand upon the earth.” (Job 19:25)
• “Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.” (Psalm 73:25)
• “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him in the midst of loss, not prosperity.” (John Piper)

(I also couldn’t help but think about the fact that it took me almost 11 months to work through the six chapters of Ephesians, while Tim nailed all 42 chapters of the book of Job in about 45 minutes! You ‘da bomb diggity!)

Mark, then, brought everything together and led us into communion and our response/ministry time.

Of course, I haven’t even mentioned our awesome team of Children’s ministry teachers, nursery workers, or all the volunteers who faithfully serve on our various ministry teams EVERY Sunday. I love our church! God has been, and continues to be, so faithful to us!

Thank You.
