Ever wondered if there's more to how we see God?
Using insights from Isaiah 40:1-11, Dr. Kevin Tully will challenge common beliefs about God, inviting us to see a more loving and compassionate side. This Sunday, we will discover a clearer picture of God's nature through Jesus Christ and embrace the joy of His constant love.
Join us this Sunday for Dr. Kevin Tully's sermon, "Seeing Clearly."
Reading from the Scriptures
Isaiah 40:1-11 (NRSV)
1 Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her
that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.
3 A voice cries out:
‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.
5 Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
and all people shall see it together,
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’
6 A voice says, ‘Cry out!’ And I said, ‘What shall I cry?’
All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon
it; surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand for
ever.
9 Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings;
lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings,
lift it up, do not fear;
say to the cities of Judah, ‘Here is your God!’
10 See, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him;
his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms,
and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.

Angel Tree Xmas Mission Project @ FUMC to Benefit Waxahachie CARE
Join us in spreading joy and love this holiday season by participating in the Angel Tree Benefit for Waxahachie Care, taking place from November 26 to December 17. As you enter the church foyer, you'll find the Angel Tree adorned with ornaments, each representing a heartfelt wish from someone in our community. Select an ornament and discover the name of the item you can contribute to make a difference in someone's life. Whether it's a warm blanket, a nourishing meal, or a cherished toy, your generosity will bring warmth and happiness to those in need. Let's come together and make this season brighter for everyone. Your small act of kindness can create a ripple effect of compassion and remind us all of the true spirit of the holidays.
