Christ Community Church Building on the Word
“The purpose of Christ Community Church is to glorify God in obedience to the Great Commission and the Great
Commandments.” Welcome to Worship at
Christ Community Church August 25, 2019
Good morning! Today we conclude our
summer sermon and worship series,
‘Dangers, Toils, and Snares: Help From God’s Word’.
Today is the Last Day of Our Summer Schedule We’ll resume our regular schedule NEXT SUNDAY: Christian education at 9:00, worship in the sanctuary at 10:30.
Congregational Mid-Year Meeting will be in the CAA during the Christian Education hour this morning. We’ll hear from program staff and elect a new nominating committee. Vote for two: Valarie Brandt, Kim Richards, and Jason Staton.
Baptism Tonight at 6:00pm by the old camp store in the south unit of the Beach State Park. Take Wadsworth east, bend left at the hotel, park in the large lot. We’ll be at the south end.
Behold Your God: Great Texts in Isaiah Next Sunday we’ll begin a sermon and worship series on the greatest of the writing prophets. “Across the years Isaiah has come to be known as ‘the prince of the prophets.’ A part of the reason for this title is the possibility that the prophet was a member of the royal family. While there is no indisputable evidence of this, the easy access to the kings that he seemed to enjoy may point in this direction. But the real basis of the claim is the nature of the book known by Isaiah’s name. There is a majesty in the book that sets it off from almost any other in the Bible. It contains an unparalleled sweep of theology, all the way from creation to the new heavens and new earth and from utter destruction to glorious redemption.” (John Oswalt, Isaiah, 17)
Dig Deeper Into Isaiah At the literature counter you’ll find a guide to this great prophet, The Message of Isaiah, by Barry Webb.
Welcome to Worship at Christ Community Church
August 25, 2019
The Lord is righteous in all his ways.
(Psalm 145:17)
This morning we conclude our summer sermon series with a message, “Angry at God?”
If we wish to render glory to God and bless his name properly, we must be persuaded that God does nothing without reason. So then, let us not attribute to him either cruelty or ignorance, as if he did things in spite and unadvisedly, but let us acknowledge that he proceeds in everything with admirable justice, with goodness and infinite wisdom in all that he does. (John Calvin)
