https://youtube.com/live/QDoXYkFCvAI

Come to worship with us on Sunday, January 29th at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett’s topic is “Our Identity.” The scriptures are Psalm 139: 13-14 and 23-24, Colossians 2:6-12, and Daniel 1:3-17. You can also join live with YouTube @communitychurchludington

Synopsis: Daniel grew up with parents and a Jewish community that taught him in the ways of the Lord; as did Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.  They knew what made them God’s children; what identified them as being Children of God.  They knew what it took to be righteous before God and most importantly they knew who God is, the one true God and they sought to worship him in all they did.  Then one day; the four faithful followers from Judah had their world turned upside down. 

We’ll look Sunday at what makes up our identity as Christians and how important it is to keep that identity. 

January 15th – Faith: Trusting in God

Come and worship with us on Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. ! Pastor Brett’s topic is “Faith: Trusting in God.” Our scriptures are Daniel 3:13-18, Luke 8:40-48, and Hebrews 11:1-13. Find us live on YouTube @CommunityChurchLudington if you can’t attend in-person.

Synopsis: Our passage from Hebrews Sunday tells us that, “faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see.”  Trust is rooted and found in this faith and knowledge of God.  We have faith and trust in God because what we know about the truth of His Word. 

Faith and trust are found in not only hearing and believing, but in action and obedience to God’s Word. We will look at a few examples today of just that.

Sunday, January 8: Jesus’ Baptism and Its Meaning for Us

Join our 9:30 a.m. worship of the Lord! Pastor Brett’s topic is “Jesus’ Baptism and Its Meaning for Us” with scriptures from Isaiah 42:1-9, Matthew 3:13-17, and Acts 10:34-43. You can attend in person or tune in to our YouTube @CommunityChurchLudington live stream.

Synopsis: This Sunday we move from the season of Advent and Christmas and on to the season of Epiphany.  Epiphany being defined as the sudden understanding of something; in this case the revealing of Jesus, the Messiah, not just to the Jewish people, but to the Gentiles as well.  One of our lectionary passages details Jesus’ baptism, another the prophecy of that baptism, and a third detailing Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.  So, the question, what does this all mean to us, and more importantly, how should Jesus’ baptism, life, death, and resurrection impact our lives?
