Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our opening verses of Genesis give us the beginning of God’s ordered creation, starting with the creation of [...]

This week the 4 churches of Superior and 1 church of Poplar gathered for an outdoor service led by Eau Claire based band, "Breaking Chains." Be sure to check out the service on our Facebook page. Pastor Sean

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11; 3:1-17 The words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher,    vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What do people gain from all the toil    at which they toil under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes,    but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun goes down,    and hurries to the place where it rises. The wind blows to the south,    and goes round to the north; round and round goes the wind,    and on its circuits the wind returns. All streams run to the sea,    but the sea is not full; [...]

Proverbs 8:1-11, 22-36 Does not wisdom call,    and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights, beside the way,    at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town,    at the entrance of the portals she cries out: ‘To you, O people, I call,    and my cry is to all that live. O simple ones, learn prudence;    acquire intelligence, you who lack it. Hear, for I will speak noble things,    and from my lips will come what is right; for my mouth will utter truth;    wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are righteous;    there [...]

Proverbs 1:1-7, 3:1-8 For learning about wisdom and instruction,    for understanding words of insight, for gaining instruction in wise dealing,    righteousness, justice, and equity; to teach shrewdness to the simple,    knowledge and prudence to the young— let the wise also hear and gain in learning,    and the discerning acquire skill, to understand a proverb and a figure,    the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;    fools despise wisdom and instruction. My child, do not forget my teaching,    but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life    and abundant welfare they will [...]

2 Peter 3:1-10, 17-18 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you; in them I am trying to arouse your sincere intention by reminding you that you should remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles. First of all you must understand this, that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and indulging their own lusts and saying, ‘Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since our ancestors died, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation!’ They deliberately ignore this fact, [...]

2 Peter 1:16-2:2, 15-19 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’ We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a [...]

I got away for another camping trip with my family this weekend. Thanks, Pastor Doug Paulson, for filling in for me! Check out the service on our Facebook page. "See" you all next week. Pastor Sean 2 Peter 1:1-11 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith as precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own [...]

Isaiah, 61:1-11 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,    because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,    to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,    and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,    and the day of vengeance of our God;    to comfort all who mourn; to provide for those who mourn in Zion—    to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning,    the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. They will be called oaks of righteousness,    the planting of [...]

Isaiah 40:1-11 Comfort, O comfort my people,    says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,    and cry to her that she has served her term,    that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord’s hand    double for all her sins. A voice cries out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord,    make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up,    and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level,    and the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,    and all people shall see it together, [...]
