Join us tomorrow morning for online Church. Senior Pastor Jeff Gannon will be preaching about “The God Who Pursues.” Check out chwichita.org and our YouTube channel to worship together at 9:30 and 11:00 A.M. #godpursuesus #onlinechurch #chapelhillwichita #pastorgannonpreaches

As He (Jesus) was going along the Sea of Galilee,

As He (Jesus) was going along the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will have you become fishers of people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. And going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went away to follow Him.

“Come follow me.”

Can you imagine what the disciples may have been feeling as they made the decision to follow Jesus? The flood of emotions and thoughts, ideas, doubts, fears that likely washed over them as they stood at the threshold of their new life?

In the story, Jesus has come through his time in the wilderness, having been tested and found faithful.

John, Jesus’ cousin has been living like a wild man, comfortable in the wilderness and yet called back to the community and is preaching the Kingdom of God. He had been tested and found faithful and yet finds himself arrested.

“Come follow me.”

Perhaps the disciples didn’t think at all in the moment, perhaps they were overcome with Jesus’ presence and their Spirit compelled them to “Yes” and while they did not know what to expect, they knew where Jesus was leading was a path they wanted to follow.

How would you tell your own call story? Is there a before and after, or is it more complicated than that?

Regardless of how we come to Jesus, following Jesus is not just a momentary decision but a relational commitment. What Jesus asks of Simon, Andrew, James, and John is the same thing he asks of us today and every day.

“Come follow me.”

May our spirit compel us to say “Yes!”

Almighty and Sovereign God: As our nation undergo

Almighty and Sovereign God:

As our nation undergoes this presidential transition, we pray: “Thy Kingdom Come.”

May your Holy Spirit instill our president with righteousness and the values and principles of your kingdom to exercise the sacred trust of administering the nation.

Give our new president, his administration, and Congress the ability to honor you by doing what is right, fair, and just for all citizens, especially the poor, hungry, and marginalized.

We ask that all the people in our nation, irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity, or religious faith be treated with dignity.

We pray for the wholeness, health, integrity, soundness, welfare, security, prosperity, harmony, and justice of all the citizens of our nation.

Help our nation develop a foreign policy that fosters peace, justice, equality, and freedoms that can advance the development, rights, and privileges of our global neighbors.

Move our nation to provide international leadership in the good stewardship of all the natural resources that you have entrusted to humankind.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” From Bread for the World #pray #thykingdomcome #inauguration2021 #chapelhillwichita

Did you know that someone needs blood every two se

Did you know that someone needs blood every two seconds? Did you know that one pint of blood can save up to three lives? Giving blood if you’re able, really does save lives. Our next blood drive is scheduled for Sunday, February 14 (Valentine's Day) from 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. The Bloodmobile bus will be in the CH parking lot with appointments scheduled at 15 minute intervals. Masks will be required (we can furnish if you forget yours) and strict CDC guidelines will be followed to keep you safe. We have 10 slots left to fill and we hope that you will want to join us for this incredibly important mission. You can go to the Red Cross Blood website and schedule yourself or contact Wes Darnell at wesid@cox.net #thankyouforgivingblood #americanredcross #chapelhillwichita #motivationmonday

God is not asking us to save the world. We had a

God is not asking us to save the world.

We had an excellent sermon yesterday by the Rev. Dr. Kevass J. Harding in which he implored us to ask the question, “What does God ask of us?” This “Sunday” question lingers as we face “Monday” and the day in which we celebrate the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

What God requires is to love God and love neighbor. In the context of our message yesterday, that looks like seeking justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

We can mourn all that is broken in our world today. But we don’t need to get lost in the brokenness of the world today. We can feel our feelings, pray, study, listen, read, learn, ask questions, and sometimes change our minds and behaviors.

We also can ask today and every day: God, what do you require of me today?

God is not asking us to save the world today. God is asking us to do our work today and the time is always right to do what is right.

Thank you Jesus for Martin Luther King Jr. and for the example of Micah 6:8 that he embodied and how he inspires us to live into this reality. Let us honor him by letting his message last beyond this day and follow Jesus to do what is right.

If you are looking for a community to work out some of these questions, we have various book studies throughout the calendar year on race and justice called “Conversations @ the Hill.” Neal Whitlow is currently leading “I’m Still Here” by Austin Channing Brown Wednesday Nights at 7P.M. via Zoom. DM for more information.

Check out CHwichita.org for more titles to add to your learning library.

Rev. Dr. Kevass J. Harding brings the word this mo

Rev. Dr. Kevass J. Harding brings the word this morning. “What does God require?”

6 “With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God? Thank you for this Good word Rev. Harding. #lovemercy #chapelhillwichita #humanrelationssunday
