A Taste of Sabbath

Saturday, January 17, 2026

Today’s emphasis: When you open the Bible, and read it, prepare to be transformed! It is God’s living and active word.

Pastor Chuck and Jessica led us to worship and sing about our Awesome God. We celebrated birthdays. Susie illustrated loaves and fishes for the kids, and as always we prayed. Thank you Becky.

Pastor Will shared details of how the Bible was written over the course of 1500 years by 40 men and women and ultimately preserved for us today.

Only God could work across such a span of authors and cultures and deliver a consistent message: He loves us. He wants to save us from death. One day Jesus will return to complete the work of vanquishing death forever and deliver those who trust Him to life everlasting–Amen!

Check out these scripture answers to these questions: (New International Version, emphasis added).

Who wrote the Bible? “For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2Peter 1:21

What does the word of God do? “To the Jews who believed Him, Jesus said, if you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8: 31-32

How should we protect and respect scripture? “I warn everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.”

We hope you enjoyed a taste of Sabbath here in Pataskala–come see us in person!

You’ll find a growing church with a big heart.
