E-Flash From Dan - May 27, 2016

Dear E-Flash Friends;

As a teacher, I love to deal with areas of faith in which confusion exists and attempt to bring clarity. (Okay sure, sometimes this does not work as well as I would like but that’s another discussion for another day… Lol!)

This Sunday, May 29th, we will be dealing with a passage of scripture and an aspect of the Christian faith in which there is much confusion. I am looking forward to addressing this subject. In the passage, we find this line: “When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags.” (Isaiah 64:6)

You might be thinking, “What?!? What in the world is that supposed to mean?!? Is that really in the Bible, Dan?”

Good. I’m glad you asked. Yes, it is in the Bible. Come this Sunday and we will dive in.

I’ve been chomping at the bit regarding this message. I am fired up!

We will also take a moment to think about the significance of Memorial Day and remember those who have died for our freedoms. If you come, you will be blessed!

In fact, I have a great idea. Invite a friend to come along. Your friend will be blessed, too!

See you on Sunday!

Love and blessings,

Dan Marler

P.S. All Wednesday evening programming—for both adults and children—is now on a summer break. We will resume again on Wednesday, August 3rd.

Anticipation and Excitement About The Events of This Day

I am sitting in my office doing some final preparation and I feel a sense of anticipation and excitement about the events of this day.

There will be 12 people making a public profession of their faith in Christ, this morning through baptism. It is a day of celebration and a day of spiritual victory! The truth of Jesus is alive in these folks and the hearts of the people in this congregation rejoice!

These words will be reverberating through our sanctuary…

Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.

“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." [Jesus] Matthew 28:20
