Pastor Chase Riebel’s message Sunday, “The Journey Begins,” was a road map showing how to go out and make disciples and an invitation to go on the Christian journey as detailed in John 1:35-46.
Pastor Chase quoted Mark Twain, who said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
Noah Gordon gave the communion meditation from Luke 9:23.
Noah talked about Jan. 12 being National Quitter’s Day, when most people give up on their New Year’s resolutions. But Jesus asks us to take up our cross daily and never quit focusing on the two greatest commandments, loving God and loving our neighbor.
Lexy and Anna Riebel were the worship team and were joined by Ben Prasko on the Peruvian cajon. Songs were “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” “Sweet By and By,” “There is Power in the Blood,” and “O Come to the Altar.”
Sunday services begin at 10:45 a.m.
