“A Better Faithfulness”
August 14, 2022
Please CLICK HERE to download the service notes.
As We Gather
Today we continue our worship series on the letter to the Hebrews. We also continue our focus on faithfulness. Last week, we considered the positive example of Moses. This week’s text leads us to consider the negative example of the Israelites in the wilderness. Faithfulness is easy when times are good. How do we stay faithful when times are hard, when we find ourselves in the “wilderness” of life?
Live-stream and in-person worship begin at 9:30 AM. Please CLICK HERE to download the link to the live-stream itself.
We will be streaming on our Facebook Page as well: CLICK HERE .
