Pastor’s August Ponderings:

1 Peter 1:17  Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out
your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18  For you know that it was not with
perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of
life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19  but with the precious blood of Christ, a
lamb without blemish or defect. 20  He was chosen before the creation of the world, but
was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21  Through him you believe in God, who
raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
As summer days draw to an end, I hope that you have enjoyed the warmer weather and
vacations with family and friends. It won’t belong and the church season will begin
again. What a special message we have to share with others, we have been bought with
the precious blood of Christ.
Peter reminds us that God judges each person’s work impartially. So then, God has good
work for all of us to do. I hope you are all ready praying about what you will be plugging
into this Fall. I am really looking forward to the work we will be doing together and may
God receive all the glory, through Jesus Christ his precious Son!
To God be the Glory!
