Church in the Yampa Valley
We don’t know what lies ahead with this virus, but we do know what the Lord has told us to proceed, and He will continue to shepherd us as we go.
This is the subject of Pastor Doug’s talk today.
If you are just now finding our videos, please note we live stream each Sunday at 10:30am MST on our our Facebook page or you can watch later that day on our YouTube channel.
On Mother’s Day, some scriptures that reveal how the Lord made the nature of mothers and how He views their place in our world:
“A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.” — John 16:21
“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” – Isaiah 66:13
“Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” — Deuteronomy 5:16
“Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.” –- Proverbs 1:8-9
“Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” — Proverbs 31:31
“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” — Proverbs 31:28
If you can, read the wonderful story of the Shunammite mother in II Kings 4:8-37. It perfectly illustrates a faithful woman’s love and respect for the Lord and her recognition of Whom to trust in caring for her child.
These are just a handful of the scriptures which talk about mothers. We hope they encourage you.
And for those who feel humbled to the point you don’t ever think you will be the kind of mother described in some of these verses, take a listen to the hope that’s in the Lord. Doug discusses it here:
Before the day ends, a thank you to the Lord:
Thank You, O Lord that You are the mighty One
That You bless and keep us
That You know what we need before we know
That You bind up our wounds
That You cleanse us of our sins
That Your ear is attentive to our cries for help and peace and wisdom
That You are the perfect Father
Help us honor You
You have asked us repeatedly about how to give funds to the church. A page has been created to detail this. We hope you find it helpful, and please ask questions if something is unclear or becomes an issue with the online or text giving.
For now, just know we looked at many services to perform these functions and decided on the best one given its security, efficiency and cost.
But no matter that we’ve tested it and more than once, there is nothing like going live with a function and people having issues with it to really find out what may need to be tweaked.
Thank you in advance for your input!
To find the information, just go to our Giving page which you can find here. Or click on the Giving tab which is on the menu displayed throughout the site.
Today’s live stream was about recognizing and acknowledging God’s character.
