Christian Church
Sunday Howard Reiter gave the Communion Meditation on memory loss, referencing Exodus 16:2-3. He explained how the Israelites were given plenty of provisions from the Egyptians, and yet still complained about what they felt they didnt have. Pastor Chase gave the sermon Up-Set the World for Jesus. His main reference was from Acts 17:1-14. We have come to see that what has become normal for the world, is upside down for Christians (or should be!). There will always be people stirring up trouble whereever the word of God is preached. We must not get discouraged, but continue the good fight. And just like the Bereans, we need to search the scriptures for ourselves to make sure what is being preached is Gods truth.
