Summer Themes/Sermons
July 6 Our Need for Christ (Communion) Sermon: “A God-Shaped Hunger” Matthew 4: 1-11, John 6: 25-35 Humans have a spiritual need for a higher power in our lives. What Jesus taught, what he accomplished, the hope he gives us, and his spiritual presence with us satisfies this hunger. July 13 Venturing Forth in Faith Sermon: “An Act of Faith” Ruth 1: 6-18, John 3: 16-21 One’s religious life is more encompassing than what one does in church. What happens in worship is preparation for one’s religious life, which is no less than what one believes about God and how one responds to God daily with one act of faith after another. July 20 Bearing Witness to Christ Sermon: “The Need For Role Models” Judges 6: 33-40, 2 Tim. 3: 10-14 No one is without an influence. Everyone is at times a role model, which is good. We all need in-the-flesh role models to show us how to behave as followers of Jesus. And at times it is up to us to serve as such. July 27 Rev. Johnson is out this Sunday August 3 Miracles: The Miracle That We’re Even Here Sermon “Beating the Odds” Psalm 139: 13-18, Philippians 4: 4-9 Given the incredible odds against our being born, and the reality that everyone eventually dies, what’s truly important is that we give our life, which is none other than God’s wonderful gift, our best shot.

We are taking initial steps to purchase the empty land adjacent to our existing shared space (that we have outgrown) and to design a future facility that will provide a more robust continuum of care to families and individuals experiencing food insecurity. RGFP has provided millions of pounds of food, plus additional household income-maximizing assistance, to food-insecure community members for the past 33 years. This buildout is critical to fully realizing our mission of alleviating hunger and cultivating long-term food security in our communities. www.rgfp.org [email protected] (505) 831-3778 |
