Please Enjoy This Preview of Worship for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost at First Presbyterian Church 1793
In Jeremiah 29, God tells those in captivity that there are plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future.
Jesus offers abundant life, so that our joy may be complete. In the best of time and in the worst of times the Holy Spirit comforts and counsels us to find hope. Jesus found hope and demonstrated compassion even on the cross. Hope is available even in the face of death.
The world can be a dark and frightening place. Circumstances and situations can overwhelm us. Newscasters and social media provide a steady diet of reasons for us to be afraid. In times like these, it is important to remember that there have always been times like this. People of faith find hope.
Christ provides hope and a model for living that encourages us to bring light into darkness. Those who are willing to lose their lives in service to others will find life. The hope of Jesus Christ is contagious, inspiring, and eternal.
Romans 12:12 says, “Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; persevere in prayer.”
Do we need hope? Absolutely. When we seek God, searching with our whole heart we will find God. Will we share the hope and love of the gospel with each other and the world? Why not? Faith, hope, and love abide, these three. And the greatest of these is love. Here’s hoping!
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday for 10:30 a.m. Worship, which includes a Congregational Meeting at the end of the service. Following Worship, we will recognize Rev. Dr. Steve Smith and Kim Smith’s dedication to our congregation with a farewell reception in the Social Hall.
