Woven Together By Divine Design

Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” There isn’t a part of us that is unknown by God. No matter where we find ourselves, we are reminded that God is there. No matter what our thoughts are, God knows our words before we speak them. God is even familiar with our offensive ways inside us which need to be dealt with. This week we are starting a new sermon series together called Interwoven, and the whole premise behind this series is to see how God has created and crafted each one of us to be a beautiful representation of who He is. Men and women, young and old, single and married; all of us are woven together into this beautiful body that we call a church. Of course, it’s also messy, broken, and sinful, which is why God sent Jesus Christ into the world. What we see is that we are fearfully and wonderfully made—and remade—in Christ and that leads us to one of the most glorious announcements in Scripture: “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Peter 2:9-10) God is weaving us together spiritually and as a body into this beautiful tapestry. My prayer is that this new series will lead us to a better appreciation of each other and our Creator. I look forward to seeing you this week! Don’t forget to continue inviting your friends and neighbors.
