Dear Friends,
Thank you all for your presence last night and for your continued faithfulness even during the summer months. I know many of you are out of town or else you’d be here on Wednesdays! Please know that we’re praying for your safe return. As I read this morning’s devotional, I was reminded of the words we sang last night. Our love song to God this Sunday is, simply, “Amazed”. The honesty and transparency of this great song speaks right to the heart of God and His amazing love for us and all the world. I thank all of you who volunteered to sing at the prison on Sept. 21st. Together, we will indeed draw others out of darkness and into the Light. Peace and Love, Scott

I Have Loved You with an everlasting Love. Before time began, I knew you. For years you swam around in a sea of meaninglessness, searching for Love, hoping for hope. All that time I was pursuing you, aching to embrace you in My compassionate arms.
When time was right, I revealed Myself to you. I lifted you out of that sea of despair and set you down on a firm foundation. Sometimes you felt naked-exposed to the revealing Light of My Presence. I wrapped an ermine robe around you: My robe of righteousness. I sang you a Love song, whose beginning and end are veiled in eternity. I infused meaning into your mind and harmony into your heart. Join Me in singing My Song. Together we will draw others out of darkness into My marvelous Light.
Jeremiah 31:3 3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
Isaiah 61:10 10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
1 Peter 2:9 (NASB) 9But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
