Series:           NEW YEAR, SAME PROMISES

A new year.  We begin with high hopes, with resolutions to change, with new expectations of our lives.  But in spite of good intentions, most things stay the same.  This may be cause for disappointment, but there is some consistency we can celebrate.  God’s promises do not change with the calendar or the latest pop trends.  We want to begin this new year appreciating God’s steadfast loving kindness and God’s unbreakable promises.

Sermon:        God’s promise of faithfulness

Scripture:      1 Corinthians 1.1-9

Miss Cornelia is one of the characters in Anne of Green Gables.  She is a church-going, devout Christian.  One morning she asks Miss Susan about the health of a mutual friend.  Miss Susan replies, ‘Oh I’m afraid she’s going to have to rely on the Lord now.’  Miss Cornelia responds in horror: ‘Oh, surely it isn’t as bad as all that!’  To be sure, to believe that God is faithful is not to believe that our every prayer will be answered just as we wish.  But for Miss Cornelia, entrusting her friend to God does feel like a lost cause, a last resort.   Just how can we believe the promise that ‘God is faithful?’  Join us as we explore that question in scripture, story, song and sermon.

All are welcome to worship with us online or in-person @ 10:00 am.
