Summary
Today, Special music was sung by Pastor Kathleen’s son, Stephen Wilis. This was a celebration Sunday for Pastor Kathleen’s commissioning. Phyllis began the service with the words of worship from Psalm 146 and the Gospel of Mark 12:38-44. The message is part of the Follow Him series focusing on God’s provision, power and being our life preserver.
The message highlights the importance of trusting God when at “the end of the rope,” letting go of control, and relying on His provision. Just as Elijah’s calm and steady faith provided comfort to the widow, we’re called to be sources of strength for others and surround ourselves with people of faith during hard times. Finally, Elijah’s faith foreshadows Jesus’ resurrection, reminding believers of the assurance of eternal life and the power of God to raise us to new life. When we trust God and let go, He will never leave us nor forsake us.
