Pastor Ramon Flores from Legacy Church in Yuma, Arizona treated us to a feast of God’s Word - in 2 languages this past Sunday. He reminded us that 1 Corinthians 13 is not merely a sentimental passage to be read at weddings, but instead an affectionate correction from the Apostle Paul to a Corinthian church that had lost its way by losing its love. The message was a stirring reminder that without love, our week-in-week out serving is nothing; that our employment of spiritual gifts is nothing. Love is not a beneficial byproduct of our life together in the church, it’s the essential posture we must take if our Gospel labor is going to mean anything. Tall order, you say? By God’s grace, we have the love of His Son to compel us. The posture of love which God calls us to is a posture which Christ perfectly assumed in His cross.
Listen to this week’s bilingual service here.
This Sunday, we are excited to have a guest preacher, Ramon Flores. Ramon is an associate pastor at Legacy Church in Yuma, Arizona. He will preach a bilingual Spanish-English sermon. Invite all your neighbors, friends and family who speak Spanish. Afterwards, join Ramon & his wife April for lunch in our city (Location TBA).
Este domingo, estamos emocionados de tener un predicador invitado, Ramón Flores. Ramon es pastor asociado en Legacy Church en Yuma, Arizona. Él predicará un sermón bilingüe español-inglés. Invita a todos tus vecinos, amigos y familiares que hablen español. Luego, únase a Ramón y su esposa April para almorzar en nuestra ciudad (ubicación por confirmar).
Every Sunday, 20 minutes before service, we gather together at the front of the auditorium to pray. We believe this is a wonderfully important component of our Sunday services. Our Sunday gatherings exist for the corporate worship of God and can only be done in the power of God. Prayer is one of the many ways we express our worship to God and also expresses our desperate need for Him to do what only He can among us as we gather and through us as we scatter.
So whether you’re a man, woman or child, come early, grab a cup of coffee and a doughnut and join us to pray this Sunday.
COMING IN FEBRUARY OF 2020
