The men serving on our Deacon Ministry Team are servant ministers who are called to help our pastors meet the needs of the church family.
Luke 1:57-80
Zechariah’s song challenges us to expect God to work even in the middle of our present difficult circumstances. We do this by looking back at the actions of God and then looking forward to the promises of God.
GOD HAS BEEN GRACIOUS
A SONG ABOUT EXPECTATIONS
- Malachi 3:1
EXPECTING GOD TO WORK IS NOT THE SAME AS GOD WORKING AS WE EXPECT
- Ephesians 3:20
Not every situation will be easy….1 Peter 4:12
God knows exactly what you want - but what is more assuring is that God knows exactly what you need.
