Today's Worship Service - Sunday November 22, 2020 https://youtu.be/ZAIm101sdco

Join us virtually for worship this Sunday, November 22nd at any time after 8 am. We will continue in our Exodus series...today's story can be found in Exodus 14: 1-14...and is entitled "Between a rock and a wet place!" When God led the Israelites on a different way than they expected, they found themselves sandwiched between the sea on one side and an enemy watchtower on the other. Unhappy with their circumstances, they turned on Moses and began complaining. How do we respond to adverse or unexpected circumstances? Do we ask ourselves, where is God in all this? Come and worship with us and hear the rest of the story...and God's promise to his people. All are welcome! Please check us out!

Bible Text: John 5 : 1-18 | http://standrewsscarborough.com/sermons/july-19-2020/

We look forward to you joining us for online worship on Sunday, July 19th any time after 8 a.m. The scripture for this Sunday will be John 5:1-18 about Jesus healing the man by the pool of Bethesda.

Breathe on us breath of God as we welcome your Holy Spirit into our hearts. Make us aware that talking about you is not the same as talking to you. Help us to do both. Help us to overcome the obstacles that prevent us from enjoying a relationship with you.... Help us to trust you with the problems we face and the decisions we make. When we are depressed and anxious help us to feel your love, peace, and presence. When we lose our sense of compassion, remind us of your compassion for us. Make us humble enough to know that without you we are incomplete. Remind us to pray for one another that you would replace our grief with peace, our sickness with healing, our poverty with prosperity, and our self centeredness with thoughts of others. Grant us the grace to live this day in your strength. Amen.

Duncans sermon last Sunday was based on the questions Jesus asked. Here are a couple more that He asked his disciples as they were walking. How would we answer this question? 27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, Who do people say I am? 28 They replied, Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.... 29 But what about you? he asked. Who do you say I am? Mark 8:27-29 NIV
