Sunday :: Worship / Fellowship

Message for Sunday, August 27th: Faith filled Humility and Perseverance

Remaining faithful to one’s calling as a Christian seems to be increasingly hard. There are a lot of external things that are putting pressure on us. There are cultural values that conflict with things the Bible says. There are so many voices that question a basic understanding of God’s Word. If we actually choose to follow Jesus in the way the Bible encourages us to, we will “stand out” — and quite likely face ridicule. And yet we are called to His Love and called to be Love in this world. Today we will talk about what it means to be a holy and faithful people of God.

Scripture: 1 Peter 5

Key Verse

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.

1 Peter 3:15

Montana On a Mission

One thing we know, from the Author of Love; love is an action. With Homeward Bound and MOM’s TGIF Golf Scramble fundraiser, our community experienced an amazing overflow of tangible love, and had an awful lot of fun and fellowship in return. Here’s a note from Mery Donald:

A huge “thank you” to everyone who came out last Friday to join us for MOM’s TGIF golf night at Overland Golf Course. We shared a beautiful evening of golf and lots of laughs too! Thanks to our golfers and sponsors we were able to raise around $4000 toward our next clean water project!

For more information on MOM’s next clean water project and goals for this coming year, go to MontanaOnAMission.org. We also ask you to keep Jacob Chittenden in your prayers. Jacob is working with Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) helping launch new campus ministries through parts of Europe.
