Message from the Pastor
Today, Pastor Bud Hooper continues his sermon theme – “Daring to Dream” – looking at Biblical personalities who dared to dream for God’s glory and who allowed their minds, hearts and lives to be transformed by God’s Grace and Power. They are: Gideon, David, Hannah, Judas and Jonah. These are days of transition here at First, and pastoral changes always brings it own challenges – and struggles: uncertainties and frustrations: and sometimes even discouragement. It is time for US to dream, as we run the race that is set before us – as we allow God to change us so that we become more like Jesus. These can be days of disaster, OR, they can be days of new vision – fresh victory – and spiritual growth. Next Sunday, we will look at Jonah – a World Class Dreamer - and the theme: “Having God’s Heart for His World”.
