This nine-week series examines the historic Apostles’ Creed. The Apostles’ Creed is an ecumenical creed, with Christians from nearly every branch of the faith agreeing with its contents. But it is more than a historic document; it is an accurate representation of our faith. In many ways, this is Christianity 101. “The Creed” will not only empower us to know what we believe, but also offer confidence by detailing the foundations for that belief.

Here is the planned schedule for the nine weeks of this series.

Sunday, April 9 – “The Creed Comes from the Bible” (Jude 3; 2 Timothy 3:10-17; Proverbs 22:6)

This five-week series addresses what God did for the Jewish people throughout the events recorded in the book of Ezra. Through failure, forgetting what is important, and sin, we may become exiles attempting to return to God. However, just as in the book of Ezra God reclaimed his people according to his promises, He also reclaims and redeems our lives for His purpose in this world.

Throughout the book of Ezra, there are major themes that point us to God’s grace then and today. He still uses unlikely people to accomplish His purposes. He still reclaims us as His children when we turn to Him. Like the Israelites building the altar, God has now declared that His temple is His people. And just as the Israelites heard from God’s Word, we too should hear from God’s Word.

Here is the planned schedule…

Sunday, June 13 – “God Is Faithful (Reclaimed Hope)” (Ezra 1-2)

Sunday, June 20 – “Life Let’s You Down (Reclaimed Joy)” (Ezra 3)

Sunday, June 27 – “Difficulty Is Normal (Reclaimed Strength)” (Ezra 4)

Sunday, July 4 – Special Gospel-Centered Message from Nate Bloss

Sunday, July 11 – “Prosperity Is the Lord’s (Reclaimed Victory)” (Ezra 5-6)

Sunday, July 18 – “God’s Word Is Essential (Reclaimed Obedience)” (Ezra 7)

Sunday, July 25 – “Trust in the Lord (Reclaimed Faith)” (Ezra 8)

Sunday, August 1 – “Jesus – Our Strong Foundation!” (Philippians 1:6 for VBS Sunday)

Sunday, August 8 – Special Gospel-Centered Message from Allen Tippett

Sunday, August 15 – “Turn to the Lord (Reclaimed Repentance)” (Ezra 9-10)

This pandemic is unlike anything our world has ever faced because of the ease of air travel and how rapidly it is spreading. We need to take this seriously and truly consider what is best for our church family, our community, and the world (for the glory of God).

Our president and our governor are asking that no groups larger than 10 people gather. Some might argue, “The government can’t tell us what to do.” Indeed, God is our ultimate authority. His Word is our guide, not the government. But, His Word does tell us to obey the government (i.e. Romans 13, which was written to Christians living under the tyranny of the Roman Emperor Nero).

Granted, we also know from God’s Word that we obey no one who asks us to disobey God. So, we have to determine right now – is the government asking us to disobey God? We do not believe so. Now, if they were using this pandemic to try to oppress churches, our response would have to be different. But, they are telling all groups over 10 to stop meeting for now to help prevent the further spread of COVID-19. This is not an attack on any group or cause, but is rather an effort to save lives.

Some might say then, “Well, we are commanded by God to gather regularly for fellowship and worship, so obeying the government’s directives here would cause us to disobey God.” Again, we would disagree with that in the same way that we would tell someone who has the flu or some other contagious disease – do not attend church services until you are well. That is the wise thing to do and the best way you can love your neighbor as yourself. That is not disobeying the Word of God. That is being wise and loving.

All experts across the board agree that the CDC’s recommendations should be followed right now. We hope and pray this gets under control much faster than is being predicted. Join us in praying for a miracle! Of course, let us continue to pray for God’s wisdom and direction, too, as we seek to not only make wise, God-honoring decisions, but also as we seek to love and serve one another and our community. To God be the glory!
