Pastor’s weekly newsletter | 07-31-2020

Dear Church Family and Friends,

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.”

This verse has pertinent meaning for me today. Yesterday I was running down the beach in a 20 mph wind and I had to stay focused to keep pushing through the wind to get to my final goal. I made it but I was worn out from the wind coming at me. God wants us to be people who do not waver in our faith. We have faith that God is in control and God will be with us through all sorts of waves and wind. By the way it appears that the hurricane is moving toward the east so we pray for all the people in its path.

Our Key West Preschool Coop will tentatively start on September 8. Also, Kylie will be in the office next week from 3:30 – 6:30 p.m.

This Sunday my sermon will focus on turning over our worries and concerns to God. We worry way more than we should (me included) and God wants us to turn everything over to him so that God can worry for us. I love the verse from Philippians 4 which I will be using this Sunday: “Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything.” What great advice if only we could follow it!

We will also be taking communion together so plan on being prepared to remember what Jesus did for us by going to the cross and sacrificing his life so that we can be redeemed and forgiven.

We had a great Zoom Fellowship last Sunday and we will schedule another one soon.

Have a safe and blessed weekend,

Pastor Daniel
