Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, on  "How Loving Others Blesses Us," inspired by John 3:29-30. In the testimony of John the Baptist, we notice three things about how to love others, and in loving others, we actually learn how to be happy. 1) Focus on what God has given me. 2) Focus on God's truth. 3) Focus on finding joy in what God has given others.

Prayer Focus: Church family, “Christ is the Captain of our salvation, and by His own sufferings and sacrifice He has given an example to all His followers that watchfulness and prayer, and persevering effort, were necessary on their part if they would rightly represent the love which dwelt in His bosom for the fallen race.” (2 Testimonies, 664) Send your requests and praises to Dina Horst at 402.420.5970, or join us in the Prayer Chapel from 10:00-10:45 each Sabbath as we lift up our voices in prayer to the Throne of Grace. Thank you!
