MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

October 8th, 2026

 

Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!

 

     Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend the Colorado District Ministers and Mates retreat! It was a great time of fellowship with other pastors, and a time of affirmation from one of our General Superintendents, Dr. Fili Chambo. He spent the weekend speaking on "Faithfulness for the entire Journey." It was encouraging and helpful in many ways. And it was quite interesting to hear him speak of many of the same things the Lord had already been impressing upon my heart, about stillness and an awareness of the voice of God.

     And I think that will be the theme for this Sunday as I cannot escape it. Though, I am unsure of the specific direction for Sunday's sermon. God has placed a big message on my heart not only for me, but for the people he has placed under my care. And it is more than what can be contained in a single sermon, so let us journey together over these next few weeks to lean in and listen to what the Lord has for us.

9:30am: Worship Service (English)

11:00am: POINT Groups

Prayer:  "Be Still and Know" by Anonymous

Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am God.

 

I am the Lord that healeth thee.

I am the Lord that healeth thee.

I am the Lord that healeth thee.

 

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.
