Journey Groups
Several new Journey Groups are launching the week of Labor Day. We’ll be offering Bible studies (Genesis, Esther, The Minor Prophets, Matthew, 1 Peter), life-phase groups (emerging adults, parents of kids, and teens, 55+) as well as a group for men, groups for women, and a group for new believers and those exploring faith. Various days and times will be offered. Several groups are being offered on Wednesday nights between September 7 and November 16 concurrent with our regular programming for kids and middle school students (we’re adding a nursery as well!). To sum that up, on Wednesdays, unless you are a high schooler, we've got a place for you. Each Wednesday we will also be offering dinner for any and all who would like to come (donations accepted). Wherever you are on the journey, we have a group for you! Check out the info in the lobby or at https://bit.ly/3Am2Czy.

Wednesday Night Dinners
Starting September 7 | 5:30-6:15pm | We will be offering dinners before Wednesday Night Journey Groups. The suggested donation for an individual is $4 or feed the whole family for no more than $20. Great food, great fellowship, and a great deal! As these are untested waters, we ask, that for the first week, you could let us know if you and/or your family will be joining us for dinner. Register at https://bit.ly/3Axz4Qy.

Pregnancy Resource Center
If you would like to donate to the Pregnancy Resource Center, we have baby bottles to fill with change available at the welcome center. Please return them to the church by September 1.

Student Ministries Fundraiser
Our Student Ministries are continuing on their fundraising journey to get to NYC (Nazarene Youth Conference.) One ongoing fundraiser they are having is willing labor. They are available to help/do all sorts of projects. They would love to mow, pull weeds, water flowers, rake pinecones, shovel driveways, clean cupboards, cart sticks. Really anything that you would trust a teenager to do. Clean gutters, set up your new printer, learn how to use Instagram. Details are coming with a form to fill out to request labor. Students will always come in groups of at least two and will be accompanied by an adult sponsor and money will be a donation for the NYC trip or student accounts. If you have any questions, contact Melody Grimm at 815.549.9738.

Worship Band
Our worship band is looking to add a few more talented people. If you are high-school age and above and can sing, play an instrument, or dance interpretively, Nathan Lacher will be available in the front of the sanctuary after church on Sunday. (Okay, so probably not interpretive dance, but if you are interested in joining the tech team instead, hit up the sound booth.)

Student Ministries Garage Sale
Our teens are planning to have their annual garage sale during Octoberfest (September 22-23) this year. So start sorting out your sellable old clothes, furniture, dishes, books, toys, and tchotchkes that you would love to donate. They will start taking items on September 18. Stay tuned for more details.

There were walls between us
By the cross You came and broke them down
You broke them down
And there were chains around us
By Your grace we are no longer bound
No longer bound

You called me into the light
You called my name and then my heart came alive

Your love is greater
Your love is stronger
Your love awakens awakens awakens me

Feel the darkness shaking
All the dead are coming back to life
I'm back to life
Hear the song awaken
All creation singing we're alive
'Cause You're alive

And what a love we've found
Death can't hold us down
We shout it out
We're alive 'cause You're alive

Your love awakens me
Your love is greater
Your love is stronger

Victory In Jesus
Expand
Chorus
O victory in Jesus
My Savior forever
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood

Verse 1
I heard an old old story
How a Savior came from glory
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me
I heard about His groaning
Of His precious blood's atoning
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory

Verse 2
I heard about His healing
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see
And then I cried dear Jesus
Come and heal my broken spirit
And somehow Jesus came and brought
To me the victory

Verse 3
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea
About the angels singing
And the old redemption story
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of victory

Living Hope
Expand
Verse 1
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written
Jesus Christ my living hope

Verse 2
Who could imagine so great a mercy
What heart could fathom such boundless grace
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ my living hope

Chorus
Hallelujah praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope

Verse 3
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
(REPEAT)
Jesus Yours is the victory whoa

Ending
Jesus Christ my living hope
Oh God You are my living hope

Forward Thinking: When Obedience Costs Everything
Genesis 22:1-14
August 28, 2022

Genesis 21:1-14
Sometime later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

Genesis 21:1-14
Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”

DON’T RELY ON REASONING

Isaiah 55:8-9
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

OBEY WITHOUT DELAY

GO FORWARD WITHOUT A BACKUP

OBEY GOD TO THE BITTER OR BETTER END

How willing are you to let God completely rule your life?

OBEDIENCE CHANGES OUR MOUNT MORIAHS INTO JEHOVAH-JIREHS

Verse 1
I'll never be more loved than I am right now
Wasn't holding You up
So there's nothing I can do to let You down
It doesn't take a trophy to make You proud
I'll never be more loved than I am right now

Verse 2
Going through a storm but I won't go down
I hear Your voice carried in the rhythm of the wind
To call me out
You would cross an ocean so I wouldn't drown
You've never been closer than You are right now

Chorus
Jireh You are enough
Jireh You are enough
I will be content in every circumstance
Jireh You are enough

Tag
Forever enough
Always enough
More than enough

Verse 3
I don't wanna forget how I feel right now
On the mountaintop
I can see so clear what it's all about
Stay by my side when the sun goes down
Don't wanna forget how I feel right now

Bridge
I'm already loved
I'm already chosen
I know who I am
I know what You've spoken
I'm already loved
More than I could imagine
And that is enough

If He dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor
How much more will He clothe you
