THE OFFENSE OF IDOLATRY
God's people have always been surrounded by worshipers of idols that represent other gods. All other gods besides the Lord are false. They are works or ideas forged by human imagination, not by divine guidance. The idea of worshiping something other than God is an offense to the Lord. We need to be aware of the deception of idolatry. There is only one truely worthy of our praise and worship, that is Jesus Christ, the son of God.

An idol! A craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and casts for it silver chains.
Isaiah 40:19

Heavenly Father,
Just as silver and gold cannot give life to a graven image, these substitutes cannot save me. I turn away from worldly distractions and fix my eyes on You, the one true God.
In Jesus's name I pray,
Amen

I CAN
Based on a true story, a couple's adulterous affair leads to an unexpected pregnancy. They leave their spouses to begin a new life together, but their daughter, Katelyn, is born with a birth defect. While her dad believes Katelyn's condition is God's punishment for the affair, Katelyn, with only one fully developed arm, defies all odds with an incredible gift for softball. "I Can" is a story about Katelyn overcoming adversity, and her dad eventually finding genuine forgiveness.

Join us!
We make the fresh popcorn and bring the candy.
You bring your favorite soft drink and a smile

UNWAVERING TRUST
As we journey through life, most of us develop habits of worry, anxiety, and fear. We may also become self-reliant to some degree, trusting our own abilities instead of trusting God. We may learn to seek confidence in the things of the world, even though they continually let us down. Overcoming habits in our thoughts or emotions is a process and unweaving them usually happens step by step over a period of weeks, months, or years. That is why perseverance is so important.
Every time you trust God, and every time He comes through for you, your trust and confidence will grow stronger every day.

O my God, in you I trust;
let me not be put to shame;
let not my enemies exult over me.
Psalm 25:2

Lord,
I pray that life's circumstances never overtake me. Guide my steps, protect my soul, and let my unwavering hope rest securely in Your love and grace.
In Jesus's name I pray,
Amen

RECEIVING GOD'S MERCY
Mercy would not be mercy if it is deserved, because it is said to be kindness that exceeds what could be expected. If you are suffering from guilt, shame, and condemnation, God is reaching out to you now and offering you mercy. Don’t turn away because you know you don’t deserve it. Receive it and let it make you fall more in love with Jesus than ever before.
Our sin will never exceed God’s mercy because where sin abounds, grace abounds even more

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16

Heavenly Father,
I ask that you pour out your mercy upon me and help me to find the grace I need. I pray that you would guide me and give me the strength to face the challenges that lie ahead.
In Jesus's name I pray,
Amen
