This Week's Message
"Reviving Isaiah"/"The True Meaning of Christmas"
Malachi 3: 1-4 & Luke 3: 1-6
Malachi 3: 1-2
"I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty.
But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears?
For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap.
Prophets shared God's message to prepare for the coming of the Lord.
When the snow gets deep,
show me your path of HOPE.
When the path is steep,
give me strength to climb your path of HOPE.
When the path is dark,
light the way for me and for other believers
on your path of HOPE.
Lord, let us rejoice with all
as we prepare to celebrate your birth.
CALL TO WORSHIP FROM TODAY’S SERVICE:
One: Children of God, pay attention!
All: The days are coming when God’s peace will reign.
One: Children of God, prepare your hearts!
All: The days are coming when God will be near.
One: Children of God, be alert and listen!
All: The days are surely coming and are, in fact, already here.
1 Thessalonians 3: 12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone…”

Message Title:
"Stay Calm and Dont Fear
(But Be Ready!)"
August 10 Bulletins
August 10, 2025
"Stay Calm and Don't Fear (But Be Ready!)"
by Pastor Diane Olson-Schroeder
Luke 12: 32-40 & Psalm 33: 12-32
(Read in the bulletins for August 10.)
Psalm 33: 16-18
A king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
and by its great might it cannot save.
Psalm 33: 21
Our heart is glad in him because we trust in his holy name.
Luke 12: 34-35
“. . . . For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Be dressed ready for service and keep you lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.”
Luke 12: 40
“You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
Stay Calm! Don't Fear!
Calmly and constantly serve God
through battles and while waiting on earth.
Put your treasures in God's hands
where they will not be stollen or ruined.
YOU WILL BE READY!
WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME.
BUT, UNITED (FOLLOWING JESUS),
WE ARE THE POWER OF GOD.
Today’s Benediction:
As we go forth to proclaim and live the Good News, may our hearts remain set on an unfailing treasure in heaven where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Wherever we are, may we know your treasured love in our hearts, and be always ready to open a door as soon as we hear Jesus coming and knocking. Let us follow the footsteps of Christ into the world; and in him, may we unconditionally serve in love all who dwell on this home called earth. Amen.
