 This Sunday Is

Sunday

and Give God The Glory!!!

Come get fed this Sunday, physically and spiritually!!

We continue our pursuit of the "I AM" statements that Jesus gave to the Disciples...

Our focus this week is
John 14:1-7
Our Need for Peace

Atticus Finch, the small-town Alabama lawyer in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, is one of the most beloved characters in American literature. Throughout the novel, Atticus maintains a calm poise in all situations—whether facing down a rabid dog or dealing with a racially-motivated mob. Several times in the narrative, Atticus tells his children, Jem and Scout, “It’s not time to worry.” Atticus is always very open with his children, so they trust that if there ever is a time to worry, he’ll tell them. 

Trouble has a way of finding us, and it’s easy to let those troubles cause us to worry. It would be nice to a have our own version of Atticus Finch—someone to tell us, “It’s not time to worry.” 

The truth is that we don’t need a fictitious character like Atticus. We have Jesus, who offers us something far greater. He doesn’t just offer words in an attempt to comfort us; He offers Himself. Jesus does what no Atticus Finch could ever do: He gives us true peace even in the midst of trouble.
