      1. If you are joining us online today please go to the group chat link and then at the bottom is a movie camera icon which you'll click into called video chat request, and it will ask you to join. Ask Pastor Steve to help you get connected to Faithlife if you haven't yet. Email Pastor Mike IF you want to get an email link (preferably before Saturday 7pm)   Worshipping together in presence is always best and how God designed us to worship. However, there are unusual times when it's difficult to do, and now with modern technology, we can at least offer you a way to join in on Sundays, even if just for Sunday school, you may be forced to work, stay home with a newborn, or a child with a fever... So please consider still joining us this Sunday at Pastor Mike's house at 9:30am so you can learn more about who we are and what we believe and prayerfully consider committing to membership.

        1. Handouts

          Each week's handout will be found in Content.Files and under the name Foundations class. This week is week 1

          1. We like to say and hear..."God has a plan". He does, but lets be honest, we don't always like His plans. What was and IS His plan? Eph 1:10-11 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ--everything in heaven and on earth. 11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.

            1. We know that HIS Plan will ultimately glorify Him. We know that His plan is perfect. We also should be keenly aware that His plan might, and likely won’t, look like the exact plan we want or hope for. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.”‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭55:8‬)

          2. God is Sovereign! What does that mean? How should it affect us? Lam 3:37-40 Who can command things to happen without the Lord's permission? 38 Does not the Most High send both calamity and good? 39 Then why should we, mere humans, complain when we are punished for our sins? 40 Instead, let us test and examine our ways. Let us turn back to the LORD.

              1. Hope Lives!

                [1Co 15:19-20 NLT] 19 And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. 20 But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.

                1. One of my favorites...“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:3-5‬ ‭ESV‬‬
                2. a Living Hope! Never to die again! Amen

                3. Thank you!

                3. Hi Linda. Sorry but I was having problems myself. I guess I'll figure it out this week and we'll try again next Sunday.

                4. Thanks! I saw you on Pastor Mike's. Next week, I'll join the video. I was still eating breakfast during Sunday School. Now to try to get youtube up on the T.V. I hope you and your family are well.
