Noah Gordon gave the Communion Meditation referencing “The Seasons of Life” by Jim Rohn.
The different seasons can reflect our Christian walk. Our dark times heartbreak can be seen in our season of winter. During our spring, we see new growth and opportunity, energy, and we fight for what matters. In summer, kicking up our feet and relaxing can be tempting, but if we do, weeds can come in and snuff out what was previously planted. In fall, we reap the harvest, but some crops become too wet, too dry or get too hot.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon “Called out on the Water.”
After Jesus fed the 5000 and then sent his disciples across the Sea of Galilee while he prayed, a storm came up and they were terrified. They were about halfway across the sea (about 3.5 miles from land) when they saw something coming across the water towards them. When Peter realized it was Jesus, he asked Jesus to call out to him to come to him.
Peter began his walk across the water, but hit a snag when he got scared and started to sink. But Peter knew exactly what to do when he was scared. The storm was still raging, but his focus was on getting closer to Jesus, just as our focus should be throughout our lives.
