“God Have Mercy on Us”

Posted on October 23, 2016, Pastor: Rev. Dr. Cameron Douglas

Interim Senior Minister, Rev. Dr. Cameron Douglas’ message is, “God Have Mercy on Us” based on Luke 18:9-14

Overview

We have no room to brag about how holy or spiritual we are. What makes a person holy or spiritual is not the number of hours one spends in prayer or reading the Bible, but in living a quality life. Quality comes from experiencing life abundant and to its fullest. Quality comes from knowing who you are, a sinner who begs for mercy, and who God is, the source of life and its radiant goodness.

We all need the baptism of the Holy Spirit NOT BECAUSE WE ARE GOOD, but because we are sinful, evil and arrogant. The Holy Spirit will anoint us to become authentically loving people before a gracious God. God brings us our salvation in Jesus Christ our only source of hope and salvation.

At 10:30 we will have a children led service.

This year’s Children’s Sabbath, “Seuss & Scripture” will be focused on the stories Horton Hatches the EggHorton Hears a Who!The SneetchesWhat Was I Afraid Of? and Yertle the Turtle and how they relate to scripture and to our own Christian walk.  At this worship service we will be focused on faithfulness, compassion, being one in Christ Jesus, giving our fears to God and building a foundation on Jesus.
