King Jesus is With Us

adapted from The Adoration of the Shepherds by Rembrandt 1646

It's that wonderful time of the year when we celebrate the advent of Jesus. One of our favorite names of Jesus is Immanuel, God with us. The theme of God dwelling with his people is woven through the entire message of Scripture. Join us for our daily Bible readings as we trace this thread from Genesis to Revelation.

a Minnesota worship experience

On our recent trip to Minnesota, we couldn't help but worship God as we enjoyed the beauty of his creation. Here's a little taste of what we experienced and how we worshiped.

Oh praise the one who measures the waters and commands each drop to fall!

Oh praise the one who fashions the majestic oak and bends its branches toward the sun!

Oh praise the one who generates every mighty wave and determines its perfect path!

Oh praise the one who designs dazzling color and transforms every leaf!

Oh praise the one who carves rivers through rock and teaches the eagle how to hunt!

Oh praise the one who traces the lines of the agate stone and paints them with delight!

Oh praise the one who upholds all things by the word of his power; from the rotation of the earth to the reflection of sunlight off the moon!

Oh praise the one who meticulously guides the driftwood to its final resting place!

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, 
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! 
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; 
bring an offering and come before him! 
Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; 
tremble before him, all the earth; 
yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. 
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, 
and let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”

--1 Chronicles 16:28-31
