Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, presenting "A Public Disciple of Jesus." After Jesus dies, two men who had secretly born disciples of Jesus suddenly make their decision public. They boldly ask Pilate for permission to bury Jesus. Their action is a BOLD invitation to us to be mature disciples of Jesus! I can't do that by simply going to church. I need Jesus to disciple me. That journey will almost certainly require contemplative prayer, long friendships, and/or suffering.
Church family: "The Lord desires His children to take comfort in His service and to find more pleasure than hardship in His work. He desires that those who come to worship Him shall carry away with them precious thoughts of His care and love, that they may be cheered in all the employment of daily life, that they may have grace to deal honestly and faithfully in all things. (The Privilege of Prayer, E.G. White) Send your prayer requests and praises to Dina Horst at 402.420.5970. Thank you!
