Out of the Water, into the Boat

Welcome back brothers and sisters!

Before we get started, let's take a moment and give thanks to God.  Give thanks that He is all that we need, His grace is sufficient, He is our provider, our savior and Lord.  He never changes, He is light...as we walk in this very dark world, we can always look to Christ that our lives would be lit up with the Truth.  He gave us everything and is worthy of all of our love, worship, praise, respect, awe, admiration and obedience.  There is none greater than the Lord.

Another week has come and gone, which means we are that much closer to the day the Lord returns or calls us home.  As we live in a sinful and broken world, it's all to common to think the trouble or hardship we are going through isn't understood by anyone else...it may feel as if our world is sinking beneath our feet and the waters are enveloping us.  Even here we can call out to the Lord, even here, He is to pull us up, even here...He will usher us into the boat.  The apostle Peter learned this quite literally in our passage for the night, in John 6:14-21.  Our beloved Pastor Scott takes us faithfully into the scriptures to exposit the meaning of Christ sending His disciples out upon the lake alone, calling Peter out on the water, and saving Him as he sank!  There is a great deal indeed to learn and as always we truly encourage you to watch the sermon for this week and share it with everyone you can.  We don't know when the Lord will return, but let's pray He finds us doing what He has called us to do when He does, amen?

Friends, everyone needs to hear the Gospel, both the saved and unsaved...it's the very anchor we have in this world to keep us from drifting into darkness.  Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but through Him.  That is very good news, we can come to Him by faith alone.  He grants us repentance to turn from our sins and follow after Him...let's share that today amen? 

Don't forget to visit us online and contact us for any needs you may have, that we could help with in your spiritual walk.  We hope to see you next Saturday at 7pm as we continue in the Gospel of John, worship together, share a meal together and fellowship together.

Until we next meet, let's go serve our King!
