A Song for Sunday

We’re singing a hymn Sunday that you may or may not know: O Word of God, Incarnate. This is a rich hymn that has several themes we find in Exodus generally, and in our preaching passage in particular. In Exodus 17:15, we get one of God’s unique names, Jehovah Nissi, which means “The Lord is My Banner.” The third verse of this hymn reflects on that name:

It floateth like a banner before God’s host unfurled;
it shineth like a beacon above the darkling world.
It is the chart and compass that o’er life’s surging sea,
‘mid mists and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O Christ, to Thee.

Listen to the rendition below to get acquainted before Sunday.

Vacation Bible School

This week, we just finished VBS, and we had a great time! We had a great group of kids, and we spent a great time in Bible study and fellowship. Some of the decorations will still be up on Sunday, so be sure to look around. And if you get a chance, encourage one of the kids by asking them what they learned! I also want to thank all of you who made it happen, and if you weren’t able to join us, be sure to join me in that thanks.

Finally, be sure to be in prayer for those who are recovering from illnesses and surgeries, especially as we prepare to hear God’s Word on prayer this Sunday.

I love you all, and I’m very excited to be back with you this Sunday.

Your friend in Christ,
Reid
