Colony Christian Church

Howard Reiter gave the communion meditation, titled “Father Knows Best.” 2 Samuel 16:5-12, tells us a story of David, and how a relative of Saul’s hurled rocks at him and called him a murderer. David did not retaliate, and would not let his men retaliate. He said that if God told the man to curse him, who are they to stop him. Shouldn’t we all live like that? Not seeking our own revenge, but waiting on the Lord for his vindication? And as the years go by, we should find ourselves less and less concerned about what others think about us. Live for God!

Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on “Can We Be The Good?” We should share the hope and love of Jesus with everyone. Our life is like a battle. We either: 1. Look at the battle and do nothing, 2. Choose to go through the battle on our own, even though we don’t know how to fight it, 3. Choose those who have never been in battle to help us, or 4. Choose soldiers for help. We must be the soldiers of God and do his good work. (Ref: Romans 3:10-12, Titus 2:11-14 & 3:4-7, Matthew 20:28, Galatians 5:13, 21-23 & 6:9-10, 2 Peter 3:9-10 & 3:14-15, Matthew 9:36-38 & 25:21)
