In the May-June issue of Upper Room, we are asked – “Do you think God is more apt to listen to the prayers of the church leaders, the president or world dignitaries because of who they are or the magnitude of their problems or responsibilities?”
Join the congregation of SNC as we are reminded that God listens to ALL of us with the same passion, concern and love.
Sunday’s scriptures:
Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
and
Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Holy Trinity: Three in One
The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are not names for different parts of God, but one name for God because three persons exist in God as one entity.
Let’s talk about the Holy Trinity this Sunday.
Listen to past sermons in the Pender Podcast
May 12th Sermon ~ “Jesus-Savior and Lord” (Philippians 2:8-11)
We believe in Jesus. But what do we believe about Jesus? There are two titles that must be acknowledged in our lives about him, Savior and Lord. We don’t use those titles much today so what do they mean? Let’s see this Sunday.
“And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:8-11)
