SABBATH MORNING WORSHIP
9:00 a.m. & 11:30 a.m. WORSHIP - IN PERSON and ONLINE - Pastor Tara VinCross YouTube
On Sabbath, March 26, we will be celebrating communion together, as Pastor Tara VinCross shares part 7 in our sermon series called, “Overcomer.” How are we to make it through hard times? Revelation 12:11 declares, "they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” - our experience of salvation and sharing our story. By looking to Jesus and sharing our story we are strengthened to make it through whatever we are facing. We are journeying deeper together through a letter written by the disciple Peter to a group of exiled believers.
This week we turn to 1 Peter 4:12-19. Here, Peter tells us not to be surprised by trials that come upon us. That judgment is actually good news. That somehow suffering can allow us to more closely identify with Jesus. You are invited to reflect on this section of Scripture and join us as we dig deeper together.
