“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 …

“One Person’s Junk is Another Person’s Treasure” That line pretty much sums up both the meaning of Zephaniah’s name and the message he delivered to Judah.  You may feel like your life has a lot of junk goin’ on, but God sees your future.  God sees your future deliverance, salvation, and beauty.  You are not junk.  You are his treasured …

SUNDAY’S COMING This Sunday we meet Zephaniah.  What a cool name!  It means, “Hidden Treasure of God.”  Literally, we think he was hidden as a child to avoid persecution by the wicked king Manasseh of Judah.  But God used him for an incredible message to the people of Judah, who themselves felt shame from their sin and heard the taunts …

Friends, please join us in praying for Paul Koets.  Paul fell yesterday and hit is head on a basement floor.  He also broke a hip.  He was airlifted to Mercy Medical Center.  He is in ICU and sedated.  We ask for prayers that there would be no more swelling in his brain and for Fran as she waits with him. Remember …

MONDAY’S HERE One of the probing questions surfaced in yesterday’s message on Amos 1 and 2. When the gaze of God falls on your heart, what does he see? It was (and is) a hard question.  We looked at how none of us can escape God’s gaze.  And yet he makes an amazing invitation – that if we will seek him …

Wow!  What a great time we had at Trinity with week!  Kristin and her amazing crew of volunteers and helpers led our fun-filled Summer Kids Adventure VBS.  It was a great time where we learned about what it means to live, move, and exist because of Jesus. Here’s a peek of some of the fun that went on! [vimeo 130232672 w=500 h=281] …

CHANGE IN PICNIC LOCATION Due to the rain and wet forecast, we will be moving the Summer Kids Adventure Family Celebration and Picnic indoors tonight. We ask that you use the main doors and go directly to the back Children’s Area where we will be meeting.  There is a wedding setting up and rehearsing in the building, so please be mindful and respectful of them as …
