11:00 a.m. Second Message in series “Who Is Jesus?”

Last week we saw that Jesus is the seed of the woman who will bruise the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15) We found out that the Promised One came through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Jesse and David, and we concluded hearing the words of the angel Gabriel to Mary in Luke 1: “the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Today we will see from Deuteronomy that He is the Prophet like Moses. Deuteronomy 15.

6:00 p.m. Join us for singing, fellowship, and message from Isaiah 9 “The Lord Saves!”

*Counseling training in the kitchen classroom

Spotlight from Our Missionaries
Mike & Fran VanBruggen- Word of Life Local Church Ministries
We didn’t leave the field, we got a new field! Looking back, we began the year in South Africa. If you remember I was having trouble with my eyes and the bright sunlight of South Africa actually hurt. We were transitioning back to the States with a working migration date of May 2018, then my mom died and we came back in February, so then we simply stayed. Leaving our field and home for the last 8 years was emotional, then a few days later mom’s funeral raised the emotion a bit more until the Lord snuggled us into our new field of service here in West Michigan. We didn’t really leave the field of service, we just got a new place to serve. The dimmer light of Michigan has been a blessing for me and the churches seem glad to have a resident missionary present. Starting at anything in a new place is always extra stressful but we are adjusting and trying to make ourselves into what our churches and communities need us to be. Please pray the Lord will continue to work through us to the youth and children’s leaders of West Michigan.
