Speaker: Kevin Bayne Topic: Let Justice Roll Like A River Series: Amos: Let Justice Roll Verse: Amos 5:18-27 The Day of the Lord 18 Woe to you who long    for the day of the Lord!Why do you long for the day of the Lord?    That day will be darkness, not light.19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion    only to meet a bear,as though he entered his house    and rested his hand on the wall    only to have a snake bite him.20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, not light—    pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness? 21 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals;    your assemblies are a stench to me.22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,    I will not accept them.Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,    I will have no regard for them.23 Away with the noise of your songs!    I will not listen to the music of your harps.24 But let justice roll on like a river,    righteousness like a never-failing stream! 25 “Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings    forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,    the pedestal of your idols,    the star of your god[a]—    which you made for yourselves.27 Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,”    says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.

Speaker: Kevin Bayne Verse: Luke 23:55-24 Series: Holy Week 2024 55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment. 24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words. 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away,wondering to himself what had happened. Jesus Has Risen

Speaker: Jeff Martens Scripture Reader: Char Neufeld Matthew 9:35-38 The Workers Are Few 35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Speaker: Kevin Bayne Scripture Reader: Chris Gillespie Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute 27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region. 32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”

Join us for our Christmas Day service featuring the story of Jesus birth, read by our leaders, pastors, and congregation. Note: we experienced a sound glitch at the beginning of the live stream. Kevin Bayne's first reading posted below: "Today's service is based on a 150 year tradition of telling the story of the birth of the Messiah through Lessons - the reading of Scripture - and Carols - the singing of traditional Christmas hymns. The story of the Messiah spans from Creation, to Christmas and on to today. John 3:16-17 tells us: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. God created the world in (sound glitch resolved) love, and out of love He sent his Son to redeem our world. This is the story of love taking on flesh and loving among us, so that we can be reconciled to God and live forever in his loving embrace. This is good news of great joy! Come, let us listen, worship, and adore him."

Our Christmas Eve service lead by Kevin Bayne as well as a featured choir.

This week's sermon begins with the Testimony from Wes Wiens.
