MORGAN CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

November 13th, 2026

 

Greetings Morgan Church of the Nazarene!

       First, I want to say "Thank You" for the grace you all extended to me on Sunday. And also "Thank you" for your prayers on Sunday. While migraines are not a new thing for me, having one come on like that on a Sunday morning was a new thing. I mentioned Sunday, and I want to say it again, what a gift it is that we don't have to show up at church with all the things put together. We have "permission" to show up even when we aren't at our best. Thank you for demonstrating that on Sunday.

      This Sunday we will be in Matthew 25 again. Jesus is still teaching about his return. Last week the focus was "be ready." This week Jesus illustrates what it looks like to be ready. We will focus on verses 31-46. 

 

Sunday Schedule: 

9:30am: Worship Service (English)

11:00am: POINT Groups

12:30pm: Worship Service (Spanish)

 

Prayer: a prayer by Rev. Orien W. Fifer (1868–1947)

Father and God, you know the work, the worry, and the weariness which, day by day, even week after week, weigh so heavily upon my life. So often I grow faint and fearful, disturbed and doubtful. I long for rest and peace and full assurance of faith. May I so wait upon you in daily prayer and be renewed with spiritual might that I shall fight the good fight and keep the faith. For Jesus' sake I pray. Amen.

Hebrews 12:1-2a - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith

 

Grace & Peace,

Pastor Kent
