Rebuilding & Restoring

Communion Sunday - please gather some bread and juice before you begin the service.

As we come together for worship, we will begin a new series: Brick by Brick. Our focus will be on the book of Nehemiah as he begins to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. Today we will also participate in Communion. As we see how Nehemiah agonizes over the ruins of Jerusalem, and prays for God to rebuild what has been destroyed, we will also be reminded that by the sacrificial death of Christ, God has torn down the great dividing wall of hostility. It is through Christ's death and Resurrection that God has been able to rebuild what was broken and restore what was lost. Christ has reconciled us to God and one another. We now have been given the ministry of reconciliation. God is going to use us to rebuild what was broken, as He begins to restore what is lost.

As you prepare for Worship, be sure you have your juice and bread, or whatever you are going to use. More importantly, begin to prepare your heart. Spend time perhaps in silence before you engage in Worship. Invite God to reveal to you where He wants to rebuild and restore your life, your family, your relationships, and even our community, country and world.

Because of Christ, and in His Grace,
Pastor Bill
