But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23
Dear friend,
Most people I know have specific places where they feel or think they are assured of God’s grace. I talk to many people who would not consider the physical church building that place. Even though the physical church building means a lot to me, it is probably not my memorable place of grace.
That’s probably okay. This week we’re taking a look at Jacob. He had a memorable experience of God at a place called Bethel. He put up a marker there so he would never forget the place.
If you read in Genesis 25 to about 32, I think you can see that Genesis 28 is a pivot point in his life. Jacob experiences a profound change at that place and its good.
God’s Word this week just might be the pivot you (or your friends) need! See you Sunday at 9:00 or 10:45.
If you missed last week, check out the sermon at https://peaceotsego.org/messages.
Sincerely,
Pastor Timmermann
Certain Hope - Easter 2021

Easter flowers
To glorify God and emphasize the miracle of the resurrection we invite everyone to donate flowers for Easter. Flowers during Easter beautify the sanctuary and symbolize new hope, life, and beginnings. Many people donate these flowers to honor their memory of a loved one.
