The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
The Next Pastor
Rev. Jones shocked the congregation when he announced his resignation from the church and planned move to Arizona. After the service a very distraught Mrs. Williams came to the pastor with tears in her eyes, "Oh, Pastor Bill, we are going to miss you so much. We don't want you to leave!" The kindhearted pastor patted her hand and said, "Now, now, Liz, don't carry on so. The
pastor who takes my place might be even better than me." "Yeah", she cried, "That's what Pastor Mike said when he left!"
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
The Life of Elisha: His Character and Beginnings: Chariots of Fire and Parting the Waters
II Kings 2, Elijah’s Ascension: There is no more mention of Elijah after his calling until he accompanied Elijah to the other side of Jordan, witnessed there his ascension, and with his fallen mantle parted the waters and was welcomed by the sons of the prophets as the successor of Elijah (II Kings 2:1-16).
Today’s Sermon
The God Who is There: The Existence of God
We have studied the God of love, the God of truth, and the God of communication (The Word of God), but is there a God at all? Is being a Christian rational? Do the facts of science have to be ignored in order to believe in God? If we cannot answer the fundamental question of the existence of God, how can we say our faith is real? Does God even exist at all?
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead. Romans 1:19-20
