Song for Contemplation
In the upcoming weeks we will introduce the below worship song Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me by CityAlight.
As we focus our hearts on what Christ has done throughout the story of the Israelites, what might God be telling us about what He wants to do in and through us?
Think about the words of Chorus 2 “To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me.”
Looking forward to worshiping together!
–Ben Reid | Worship Leader
SUNDAY WORSHIP | JANUARY 29 | 9 AM. When someone mentions THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, deep feelings often arise. “Yikes, I can’t recount all 10.” “I’m guilty because I don’t measure up.” “I guess I’m in trouble because I can’t measure up.” “Yes, whew, I’m very devoted to living by them.” “Why did they remove them from the courthouse? Are you kidding me!?” What should we, who seek to abide in Jesus, think about and do with the 10 Commandments? Join us this Sunday at 9 a.m. as we consider God’s dramatic presentation of these laws and discover the role they played in Jesus’s earthly life, and now in our own! Join us this Sunday, January 29 at 9 a.m. as Lead Pastor Dean Wertz brings us a message entitled What Should We Do With The Ten Commandments? from Exodus 19:16-20. If you are not able to attend the Service in person, join us via livestream or view the recording here!
