COLONY — Larry Wittmer gave the communion meditation on “From oceans to deserts” at Sunday’s Colony Christian Church service.

Sometimes our faith seems to change, from the mountaintops of life with strong, energized faith, to feeling sea level low and desert dry, Wittmer said. God’s love for us is not based on the strength of our faith. He didn’t send His son to die for us because our faith earned it. He promises to work through His word, with His people, and during times of worship to strengthen our faith. 

Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon reminding us how Noah listened and obeyed the word of God, even when the world around him was full of sin and wickedness. When building the Tower of Babel, the leaders sought their own fame and power.
