Scripture Reading: I Thessalonians 2:1-12
Topic: Love
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I hope this message finds you well. Our service opened today with a the singing of several heart-felt hymns. We also prayed for those afflicted by the western wildfires, our nation, the church and those who are dealing with health and other issues. Today’s message contrasted worldly love with the biblical understanding of love as guided by Paul’s first letter to the Christians in Thessalonica. As we face the challenges of an upcoming election and the misguided utopian notions of radical change through violence and destruction, God’s Word casts a clear vision of hope and purpose in the call for Christians to share Christ’s love with genuine caring, encouragement and the call to lead lives worthy of God. We also provided instructions for the filling of shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child (See “This Week’s Latest” on our HOME page.) If you want to help us to reach our goal of 35 boxes you can physically fill a box or fill a box on-line. Thank you for your continued prayers for the ministry of the Aura Church. Be blessed and be a blessing, Pastor Jeff
