Midweek News
Sunday
9am: Give us today our daily bread. In our country, with plenty of food, as well as plenty of people who have a weight problem, what do we do with the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer: Give us today our daily bread.
In this prayer for bread we give EVERY aspect of our earthly life to our heavenly Father. He is the ONLY source of everything good. Without His blessing everything will fail.
So the big word is: TRUST! God's people pray: Help us, Father, to put our trust in you alone.
5pm: Why does bad stuff happen, even to supposedly good people? It's a question we all wrestle with from time to time. It even seems that Christians get to experience more suffering than those who don't know Jesus yet. In 2 Corinthians 1 Paul gives us a little look into his own struggles, and the reasons why God has put him, and communities, through these times. And we see that in it all, God's loving, fatherly hand is at work in bringing us closer and closer to himself.
