This Week | November 21 – 27, 2025
November 23 | Job, Let God Be God – Part 12: A Broken Hallelujah, Job 26-31 – Pastor Mark Pospisil
Synopsis: We come to some of Job’s last words. He is perplexed at God’s ways. Job knows that God is sovereign, all-powerful, and good. Yet, his experiences with suffering have been so taxing that he can’t trace God’s hand in them. He expresses his frustrations that although he has lived righteously and honored the Lord he is still suffering. He did not do anything to deserve this. All Job can do is praise God in the midst of his confusion and angst. He brings a “broken hallelujah.” Job is a broken man but the good news is that he knows God who can put all the pieces of his life back together.
Fighter Verse: Job 26:14 – Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and be refreshed in your knowledge of who God is and what He has done.

BAPTISM | DEC 14
Baptism is the natural next step once we are saved! It represents the new life that Jesus’ resurrection gives us and is a public sign of our faith in Christ. If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, we invite you to take this opportunity to demonstrate your faith in Christ.
We will have an opportunity to get baptized during all services on this Sunday. Please fill out this form to let me know you are interested in getting baptized!
