Don’t forget to come join us tonight, Monday, July 27 as we will be hosting the Japanese Handbell Choir.  The concert will be in the sanctuary from 7-8:30 p.m.  A free-will offering for the choir will be received.

I am excited to preach from the Old Testament book of Haggai on Sunday.  Here’s why:

• It’s short! (39 verses)
• It’s concise (takes places in a period of four months).
• It points to Jesus
• And….

In some of the other prophets, God reminds us what he had done for us.  In Hosea, God shows us what he feels for us.  It is our prayer that you would feel the intensity of God’s great love for you.

“DO… LOVE… WALK” We heard a familiar text yesterday in Micah 6 – “Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.”   Our eyes fall first on three words: Justice, kindness (or mercy) and humbly.  But a closer look points to an emphasis on the verbs – Do, love, walk.  And, it’s likely that the reverse order is …

“What have I done to you?” This week and next, we’ll begin to feel more of God’s intense love for his people in the invitation of the prophets. In Micah (Sunday), we feel God’s pain as a loving parent whose child walks away from the Father’s kindness and pursues a life being unkind to others, even stealing from the poor. …

We will be meeting at American Reformed Church and packaging the food at 8:30 a.m. and at 9:00 a.m. we will be delivering and blessing over twenty families in our community. We …

SUNDAY’S COMING This week we will hear from Nahum. Nahum’s is a special kind of prophesy – short and graphic. He pulls no punches and lays everything out there as he predicts the destruction of one of Israel’s biggest and meanest enemies – the Assyrians. They are such an evil and corrupt nation that God has finally had it with them. …

We extend our sympathies to the family of Berdella Brown, who passed away on Wednesday, July 1. There will be a visitation from 1:30-2:30 p.m. on Monday, July 6th at Trinity Reformed Church. The funeral services will be at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, July 6th at Trinity with a lunch and then burial following. Arrangements are being completed by Oolman …

“Knowing what you know about yourself and the world, what are you going to do?” That question from novelist Walker Percy ended our worship yesterday, following up the harder questions in Obadiah: Am I brother’s keeper? Where am I being aloof? Obadiah provided a stunning feast from such a small book.  If you missed worship, you can always view it …

This week we’ll hear from Obadiah. I’ve never preached on Obadiah! So, this is going to be fun. It’s a one-chapter book with only 21 verses. Read it today, and you’ll have one Bible book down and 65 to go! Obadiah’s book is really a vision he had from God about Judah’s neighbors – people called “Edomites.” They are distant relatives …
