Our Weekly Schedule

SUNDAY 

10:00 AM     Worship & Teaching - Pastor Bob Lawrenz   

                    Message:  Prophecy Update: Part 7

                                     Zechariah 9:9 - 10:4 - "Sabbath, But No Rest"

                
                            Scripture Reading:  Jeremiah 33:20-22

This week we are continuing a Prophecy Update finishing Zechariah chapter 9 and begin chapter 10.  

Zechariah 9:8–10:4 prophesies God’s protection of Jerusalem amidst regional judgment, culminating in the arrival of a Humble, Just Messianic King who brings global peace (9:9, 10). 

While Zechariah 9:9 belongs to the first coming of Jesus, Zechariah 9:10 is associated with the second coming of Jesus, when He comes in power and glory to reign over this earth for 1,000 years. In that day there will be enforced righteousness, and He will no longer allow war (Isaiah 2:4). It promises the restoration and empowerment of God's people (Judah/Ephraim) against enemies and urges reliance on God, the true source of rain and leadership, rather than false idols.

Today, we are witnessing world events foretold in scripture, a convergence of biblical, geopolitical, and societal trends that align with bible prophecy. Whatever persecutions or suffering may arise, the Lord is orchestrating every detail. Jesus is coming again, and He is our Victor. He will destroy every worldly power that stands against him. All End Times Prophesy withing Scripture are a reassurance that what God is putting into place is not reversible. God will fulfill His Promises. All of God's People are promised an eternal future and hope. He will protect and save all of Israel. He will destroy His enemies, and He will reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords.

TUESDAY

10:00 AM     Ladies Prayer & Bible Study - Norine Lawrenz
                                                         

New Year - New Study!

Attention Ladies!  Our Tuesday morning's Women's Study will resume this week.

We are going to be looking into the lives of 10 women in the Bible.  They may have lived a long time ago, but we find ourselves facing many of the same issues they faced. Through their trials and experiences, we see how God works in our lives daily to shape us, heal us, encourage us and grow us as we follow Him.

God has given us 10 commandments.  There are over 8 billion people on the planet, and we all struggle with those same commands.  There really is nothing new under the sun (1 Corinthians 10:19). 

As we look at the role these women played in telling God's story, I pray that God will meet us where we are and inspire us to grow in His grace and knowledge, that we too would be an example to others.

Please consider joining us each Tuesday morning as we magnify the Lord together, study the scriptures, pray for one another and enjoy the blessing of Christian fellowship.

                   

As a contemporary of Isaiah and Hosea, Micah prophesied during the momentous years surrounding the tragic fall of Israel to the Assyrian Empire (722 BC), an event he also predicted (Micah 1:6). Micah stated in his introduction to the book that he prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah in Judah, failing to mention the simultaneous string of dishonorable kings that closed out the northern kingdom of Israel.
During this period, while Israel was imploding from the effects of evil and unfaithful leadership, Judah seemed on a roller-coaster ride—ascending to the heights of its destiny in one generation, only to fall into the doldrums in another. In Judah at this time, good kings and evil kings alternated with each other, a pattern seen in the reigns of Jotham (good, 2 Kings 15:32–34); Ahaz (evil, 2 Kings 16:1–4); and Hezekiah (good, 2 Kings 18:1–7).
