Scripture: (Read the word together – use different
readers, different versions, just read it
Praise the Lord,
all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples.
For great is His
love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Psalm 117
Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon
using open-ended questions)
To the Grace Place on this centennial anniversary, oh, how
God has blessed us. Oh, how He loves
us. We have been on the mountaintop and
we have been in the pit. God has been
with us through every high and every low.
Our challenge is to be faithful for a hundred years to come in reaching
our community for Christ with a grateful heart. “If your life inter-sects with Jesus, He will not leave you
in the same place. Go to where Jesus
calls you to go and He will meet you there.”
Rev. Jim Lyon
