Exodus Church

This Sunday, Pastor Stephen will pick up the story of Jonah in chapter 1, verses 4-16, in a sermon titled, “Running into a Great Storm.”

Jonah has already rejected God’s call and fled from the presence of the Lord. He gets on a boat headed for Tarshish, but God intervenes for Jonah's good through a mighty storm. Interestingly, the mariners Jonah is with actually respond better in terms of fear and worship of Jonah's God than Jonah himself!

Adult and Children’s Sunday School classes run from 9-9:45 a.m.; worship begins at 10 a.m. at 2450 Taylor Avenue. https://exoduspres.org/plan-your-visit

Join us as we launch a 4-week sermon series on the book of Jonah!

This Sunday, Pastor Stephen will preach a sermon titled, “Running from God,” from Jonah 1:1-3. Jonah runs from God, which we’ll see is rational and irrational at the same time. But like Jonah—rationally and irrationally—we run from God and His call on our lives. The good news? God pursues rebels.

In addition to the new sermon series, our Adult and Children’s Sunday School classes all resume this Sunday. Sunday School runs from 9-9:45 a.m.; worship starts promptly at 10 a.m. at 2450 Taylor Avenue. https://exoduspres.org

This Communion Sunday is also our final Summer Psalms Sunday. Come hear Pastor Stephen’s sermon on Psalm 19 titled, “The Heavens Above Us and the Law Among Us,” as we participate together in the means of grace—Word, prayer, and sacrament—at Exodus.

Parents of Exodus kids: as we resume Children's Sunday School on the 13th, we're focusing on something central: preparing our kids to participate in the worship of God. Please join us from 9:20–9:50 a.m. in the Adult Sunday School room, where Jason and Andrea Jordan will share practical ways to help children of every age engage in worship and ease the transition from nursery into the service. Meanwhile, Craig and Megan Dunham will meet with the kids in the sanctuary to walk through the "whats and whys" of our Sunday gatherings.

So, check your children into the sanctuary at 9:15 and be in the Adult Sunday School room by 9:20. We'll break at 9:50 and continue into our 10 a.m. Communion service! See you at 2450 Taylor Avenue.

How do we continue to worship God when we see the fortunes of the wicked seemingly exceed those of the righteous? This Sunday, guest preacher Clark Emerson will preach from Psalm 73 as part of his sermon titled, “The Christian’s Net Worth,” and encourage us that since God is our portion, we can (and should still) worship God in a wicked world.

Also, since August is a month with a fifth Sunday, you’re invited to come at 9 a.m. for church-wide prayer, followed by fellowship and a light brunch of bacon and other goodies from 9:30-9:50 a.m. In addition, we’ll receive our diaconal offering to help those within and without the church in financial need. Come early and give generously!

“The glory of young men is their strength, but the splendor of old men is their gray hair.” Proverbs 20:29

Grateful for both in our Exodus men. (Photo from this morning’s breakfast at Lewis Park.)

What are the reasons we praise God? How do we praise God (and does it really matter)? Why is it important to “enter His gates” and be part of a local church gathering together to worship?

This Sunday, Pastor Stephen will open the Scriptures to Psalm 100 to help answer these questions and more in his sermon titled, “A Call to Worship.” The service begins at 10 a.m. at 2450 Taylor Avenue. Come worship with us.

This Friday, we'll gather in memory of one of our own, now absent from the body, but present with her Lord. If you knew Shawn, join us for visitation from 4-5 p.m. and/or the memorial service at 5 p.m. this Friday, August 21, at 2450 Taylor Road.

This Sunday, we come to Psalm 130, one of the Songs of Ascents sung by pilgrims on the road going up to Jerusalem, as prayed by a man at the bottom of his world. It is a cry that comes out of the depths…and a cry God answers by bringing him out of them.

As our Summer Psalms series nears its conclusion, Ruling Elder Craig Dunham will consider where forgiveness is located, what it means to wait on a God who has spoken, and why the psalm ends not with one man's rescue but with a word to all of Israel.

Come worship Sunday at 2450 Taylor Avenue at 10 a.m.

Psalm 104 says the God of heaven and earth rejoices in the works of His creation and heaven and earth bear witness to His glory as He cares for His creatures by setting the world in order. So why does the world often feel in disarray?

This Sunday, come learn more of God and His good order as Ruling Elder Jason Jordan preaches a sermon titled, “O Worship the King.”

NOTE: There is no adult or children’s Sunday School this Sunday and all of August. Sunday School for adults and children will resume September 13.
