Yesterday was yet ANOTHER powerful Sunday in the house of the Lord and we are grateful to Him for it! From our time of worship to the dedication of baby Judah James Bradley, to the breaking of bread together in communion, God moved in a mighty way. We pray that this recap serves as a reminder of what the Lord deposited in your heart and that it continues to stir your faith throughout the week.

The sermon explored the call to perseverance and steadfast faith as rooted in the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Colossians 1:15-23, Pastor reminded us that Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, the creator and sustainer of all things, and the one through whom we have been reconciled to the Father. Because of who Christ is, believers are called to remain grounded, settled, and unmoved, even when life creates pressure to quit. The sermon challenged us to examine what we truly believe about Christ, because what we believe about Him directly determines how firmly we stand when we are tested.

In your time with the Lord this week, here are a few questions you can meditate on:

1. The sermon teaches that faith is confident trust in God based on who He is, what He has said, what He has done, and what He has promised — which of these four pillars of faith do you find most difficult to hold onto during seasons of waiting or suffering, and why? What steps can you take this weak to strengthen this pillar?
2. The pastor described perseverance not as simply hanging on, but as a decision to remain faithful when circumstances create pressure to quit — what is the difference between passively enduring a trial and actively persevering through it with steadfast faith?
3. The pastor declared that God's word spoken over your life will not return void and trumps every negative word spoken by others or by yourself — how deeply do you believe this, and what would change in your daily life if you fully embraced it?

If you would like to attend, but need to ride on the van. Please let Evangelist Rogers know ASAP (even if you raised your hand in church yesterday, just to make sure)!

They have also so graciously invited us to have dinner with them, but need a count. If you desire to stay for dinner, again please let Evangelist Rogers know by tomorrow evening (Tuesday 10/6).

You can reach her in the church app, or by text message at (401) 492 - 3182. Hope you all are able to join us!

We will NOT be meeting for prayer tonight, but do not let that stop you! In your own time and more times through out the week, there are plenty of opportunities to pray. Take your post saints!

As we move through this week, we encourage you to meditate on God's word, to speak life over your situation, and to stand firm in the faith that He has placed within you. Remember the words shared in our time of worship: even when you cannot see it, and even when you cannot feel it, He never stops working.
