MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

November 8th, 2026

 

Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!

      There is change in the air... we feel it with the changing of the seasons, we notice it with the time change, we see it with the election results. Let us not be unsettled or anxious, but continue to live in the strength of our Lord, who is faithful in every season. Not just the seasons of the weather, or the seasons of the calendar, but in every season of life, God is faithful and we can trust him. Our hope is built on nothing other than Jesus. He is a firm foundation that is not shaken. If that is true, then we move forward in faith today, and tomorrow, and the next day. Thanks be to God.

      This Sunday we will be in the gospel of Matthew, in chapter 25. At this point in Jesus' ministry he is teaching about his return. The consistent message is: "Be Ready." We will focus on Matthew 25:1-13, the ten bridesmaids.

 

Sunday Schedule: 

9:30am: Worship Service (English)

Prayer: "The Solid Rock" by Edward Mote in 1834

1. My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

2 When darkness seems to hide his face
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]

3 His oath, his covenant, his blood,
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]

4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found:
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

Hebrews 12:1-2a - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith

 

Grace & Peace,

Pastor Kent
