In last week’s message Where Are We Now? we determined that, like the Jewish nation’s journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, we are currently in the wilderness. Meaning we are in unchartered territory and not too sure what is just around the corner. But like the Israelites camping journey, we can have full assurance that God is the midst of his people and from that position, He is leading, guiding, providing and protecting His people.
But the wilderness season is also about preparation. It’s a place where we face trials and struggles and through them we learn to trust and obey God. In this Sunday’s message, Preparing The Way, we will learn how God uses the wilderness season to also prepare us for what is coming and the way forward!
We hope you will join us today in fasting and prayer, which we do the first Friday of every month. Also plan to join us for our Upper Room Prayer Meeting tonight where we will be praying about this month’s theme: Preparing For What Is Next.
We have great news from the Kids Ministry area. Pastor Kim is back and feeling much better since the brain tumor surgery in May. With that we want to announce that the Toddler ministry (those walking and up to age 3) and the PPT Kids: Roots ministry (ages 3-8) will resume this Sunday. We also welcome you to join us for Pre-Service Prayer at 9:30am in the Prayer Room/Chapel.
We look forward to your presence with us in person or online!
Every Blessing,
Pastor Barry Risto
Lead Pastor
