Sunday July 5 2026
As we celebrate our nation’s 250th Birthday, Pastor Mike will continue his “Today is the Day” sermon series. This week’s installment looks at Hope. Things might look bad, but “Today WE Choose Hope”. In Christ there are no hopeless situations. There is an army around us, our savior rose from the dead, although we cannot pick and choose when miracles come, we serve a God that can do all things. Some believe that there are no hope for America, I say God can do anything on this 250th year of America. This week’s sermon is based on 2 Kings 6:8-23 and it’s (sarcastically!) entitled: “Today ‘We have No Hope’ “.

Opening Scripture: Psalm 33:10-12, 18-22
The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
“Lord, as your people, may we put our hope in You, our Everlasting God.”

This week, Pastor Mike will resume his “Today is the Day” sermon series. In this week’s installment, entitled “Just Relax” (Mark 4:35-41), we’ll see that today we choose to stay calm despite the noise around us. There is a lot of noise and if we wait to find peace tomorrow, there will be just something else to worry about. Today we choose peace because Jesus is with us.

Opening Scripture: Psalm 112:1-9
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes. He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his dignity will be lifted high in honor.”

We do not know that we always have tomorrow, today is the day.

Opening Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.

This Sunday, Pastor Mike will continue his sermon series entitled Today Is The Day- This series focuses on choosing today on how we will live instead of living “in the moment.” This week’s sermon reminds us that we must intentionally choose to be consistent in our faith and to remember that we are called to serve Jesus every day and not just on Sunday. One of the ways that we can do that is to remember tradition, remember our sacramental vows, and remember the basics.
This Sunday we will have a believers baptism by sprinkle, and we will celebrate communion.

Opening Scripture: Isaiah 63:11-14
Then his people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses and his people— where is he who brought them through the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who set his Holy Spirit among them, who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses’ right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for himself everlasting renown, who led them through the depths? Like a horse in open country, they did not stumble; like cattle that go down to the plain, they were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord. This is how you guided your people to make for yourself a glorious name.

This week, Pastor Mike will continue his sermon series on the book of Jonah and how Jonah brought God’s offer of salvation to the “enemy” in Nineveh. Jonah didn’t want them to have grace; he wanted them destroyed! This week we’ll focus on the attitude of Jonah (and no doubt the Pharisees will be brought into the message as well). We are saved by grace and have no right to decide how God extends his grace to others.
During this week’s service we will experience God’s Grace by celebrating the Lord’s Supper.

Opening Scripture: Romans 6:5-11
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

But- next Sunday- we’ll celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection and the life that it gives all of us.
The morning service will feature a cantata presented by our choirs. It’s entitled “Here is Love,” and it demonstrates God’s love through the story and events of Holy Week. In a similar way, the afternoon service will feature praise and worship music.

Reflections on our Lenten Journey:
This year’s Lenten journey has taken us through reflections on the grace and love of God that is ours through Jesus. Today, our message in music takes us through Holy Week. Journey with us as we follow the life of Jesus in His last days on this earth. Sing Hosanna, as we join with voices throughout the ages welcoming Him into Jerusalem and into our hearts. Reflect on His time at the “Last Supper” and in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Meditate on the act of His saving Grace through His death on the cross. Finally, in triumph, rejoice, for Jesus is risen, for “In Christ Alone” we are saved. To God be the Glory!
