FAITH. HOPE. LOVE.
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.

We All Need a Little Jesus
On Easter Sunday afternoon, when my wife Kim came home from her church, she handed me a yellow plastic egg. Of course, I shook and smiled. I just knew it contained at least one Hersey mini-chocolate bar.
I opened it and was happily surprised to see, not candy but a tiny, rubberized Jesus. Kim smiled and said, “Sometimes we all need a little Jesus.”
As I set out planning our Fall worship those words rang in my head. “Sometimes we all need a little Jesus.” Beginning September 7, we will spend a season listening to Jesus teach us through the Sermon on the Mount.
Sometimes our Jesus will comfort us. Sometimes lift our spirits. Sometimes be reassuring. Sometimes challenge us. Always spot on, saying what we need to hear.
September 7 – Matthew 5:1-11, The Beatitudes
September 14 – Matthew 5:13-14, Light of the World
September 21 – Matthew 5:37, Let Your Yes be Yes
September 28 – Matthew 5:38-48, Love Your Enemies
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Steve Nofel
