Covenant Presbyterian Church, OPC
Morning Worship
Please join us for morning worship, which meets each week at 11 AM. As we gather to praise God and listen to His Word, we are currently studying the Old Testament book of Micah, which shows us how to ascend the Lord's mountain to dwell safely with Him forever.
Evening Worship
Please join us for evening worship, which meets each week at 6 PM (except on second Sundays of the month, when we start at 2:30 PM). As we gather to praise God and listen to His Word, we are currently studying 2 Samuel, which highlights the exploits of King David so that we can learn about his greater descendant, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Economic security disappears...a life-time of accomplishment evaporates...loved ones die..the body breaks down with disease...a spouse lashes out...friends place blame where it doesn't belong...worst of all, God seems an enemy, not a friend. These are the trials of the biblical figure Job, and while they may be more extreme than anything we've ever experienced personally, they nonetheless set before us the suffering common to humanity in this broken world. While we sometimes construe our theology to protect God from responsibility for our hurts, the book of Job could not be clearer that God has control even over the disasters that confront His people. Please join us for our summer adult Sunday School class as we confront the hard questions about God's use of pain in our lives posed by the book of Job. We'll consider Job's exemplary integrity, God's sovereignty in our suffering, the difficulties caused to faith by partial truths, the nature of true biblical wisdom, and the grandeur of our God who speaks out of the whirlwind. And, as in all our studies, we'll find the Lord Jesus set before our faith, for it is only in and through His sacrifice on the cross that all suffering finally makes sense. This class will be team taught by Pastor Kevin Kisler, Elder Doug Giebel, and Mr. Keith Karr, and will meet from June 2 to September 1.
At Covenant Presbyterian Church, "Christ at the Center" is not simply a motto, it's the goal of everything we do.
Jesus is at the center of the Bible's message about God and His love towards His people. Jesus is at the center of how God has done away with our sin and will deliver us from sin's consequence of death. Jesus is at the center of the Church's preaching and teaching. Jesus is at the center of true worship. Jesus is at the center of a new and increasingly transformed life. Jesus is at the center of our every hope for today and for eternity to come. Jesus is at the center of all lasting joy.
Who is Jesus to have such an important place?
Jesus is the eternal Son of God. He created us and takes care of us. He became man and died for His people's sins on the cross. He defeated death by rising from the grave, and is even now preparing an everlasting home with the Heavenly Father for those who love Him. He gives us His Word and Holy Spirit so we can come to Him in faith and live totally devoted to Him. He puts us in His Church to share the joys and struggles of our lives with others. He equips leaders to help us in our faith. He saved us from sin and death to praise Him forever. Because He is who He is, knowing Him is the greatest joy conceivable.
