The Twenty-six Sunday after Pentecost, November 18, 2018 
WELCOME
As the season after Pentecost concludes, our scripture readings focus on the final resurrection and the end times.  The Old Testament reading, for example, relates Daniel’s vision of the last day, when God will vindicate the righteous who have been persecuted.  The reading from Hebrews envisions the resurrected Christ exalted to the right hand of God. 
 
The Gospel reading, Matthew 14:15-21, expresses the miraculous power of God to meet our needs. In this passage, Jesus instructs his disciples to bring their resources, however humble, to him, and with His blessing, accomplish Gods will.
 
Saturday Worship Theme
 A worship series entitled “Jesus, Teacher of Faith” continues with this week’s 5:00 p.m. Saturday Contemporary Praise Worship Service.  The series focuses on the many ways Jesus taught his followers to live faithfully, ever trusting in God.  Pastor Bruce Kaifler provides the sermon.
