Pastor’s Note 08/22/2024

For the past 8+ weeks we have been looking at the different “angles” of the church’s stained-glass windows and how they communicate the love of God for us.

 

The windows start with Jesus’ birth and end with His resurrection from the dead. Here is a list briefly describing each window:

 

  • Jesus’ Birth
  • Jesus at the Temple
  • Jesus walking on the water
  • Jesus as the Good Shepherd
  • Jesus welcoming the children
  • Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane
  • Jesus hanging on the cross
  • Jesus and the empty tomb.

 

Each of these windows tells us something about Jesus, about the life that He lived, and about His divinity. If you missed any of the sermons you can always go back and listen to them on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@lakesidecommunityprebyster4793/streams).

 

This is our final week of looking at these windows so let me invite you to come and hear about Jesus and the empty tomb and the reason why this is important for our lives as followers of Christ.

 

Have a great rest of the week and I hope to see you on Sunday.



Pastor’s Note 08/15/2024

“Surely He was the Son of God!”

Matthew 27:54b
 
 
There are always stories behind names that we have been given. Sometimes a child is named after a family member or there is a connection to a friend. Sometimes there are endearing nicknames that people give us in the midst of a friendship.
 
As Jesus was hanging on the cross the centurion makes the comment that “surely He was the Son of God.” What does this name mean and what does it mean for us as followers of Jesus?
 
Come this Sunday as we look at this name that was given to Jesus.
 

Have a great rest of the week.
