This week’s lessons: James 4:7-12, Mark 9:30-50
Hi all!
Jesus knew what would happen to him. He would die. He made all his own choices knowing what would happen.
We’ve also been told that there will be consequences if we do the wrong thing. Jesus declares judgment for everyone who does what is wrong.
We need to adjust to natural consequences. There are lots of consequences in life. If we don’t work, eventually we won’t be productive. If we aren’t physically active, eventually we’ll become overweight or otherwise unhealthy. If we don’t eat decently, we might become sick.
It may take years for these consequences to appear, but eventually, they will. God will also bring consequences on those who do wrong eventually - even if they are people who say they want to do good.
Decide what you are going to do with your life and do it. Be ready to accept the consequences.
Let’s get into the Word this weekend at 9:00 or 10:30. See you then!
God bless you until then!
Pastor Timmermann

BRING! Fall 2021
What are you bringing with you this fall? If you’re heading to school, I bet your bag is full of a computer, notebooks, pens, and everything else you’ll need for class.
Be sure to add one more thing. The gospel of Jesus. We bring the gospel and you can too.
Our fall ministry starts on September 12th. Check out the plan for the fall and join in! I look forward to the time with you!
Ramp It Up!
We’re glad to announce a new initiative. We will now be able to install ramps for in-need individuals from our community!
Through a generous donation and a great partnership, we’ve been able to set up a fully insured ministry activity to install accessible ramps.
We’ll be slowly rolling out details over the coming weeks. We’ll be making the opportunity accessible to the public. For now, here are a few little details:
individuals must be in demonstrable need. If you can buy or rent your own equipment, please do so. That keeps this equipment available for those in need.
There is no budgetary expense for this work. In order to replace and upgrade equipment, we’ll welcome donations (from recipients) and grants when possible.
As long as competent individuals participate, the work is fully insured - both on our side and the resident’s side.
Please direct questions to Jon Ott, the coordinator.
2021 Fall Ministry Schedule
