Forty days after saying "we will do all the LORD has said," Israel built a golden calf. Pastor David Newton opens Exodus 32 to show how quickly we drift — and how far God will go to bring us back.

This isn't just ancient history. Our calves have different names. And God's answer is still the same.

In this message:

• The covenant at Sinai — and why it looks like a wedding
• How Israel (and we) reshape God into something we can manage
• Moses intercedes — and points to Someone greater
• The God who takes sin seriously enough to judge it, and stays to bear it Himself
• Look. Repent. Believe. Live.

Scripture: Exodus 32 | Psalm 119:37 | Romans 3:25 | John 6:40

Come enjoy some trunk or treating! We will have hot dogs and popcorn. There will be an ice cream truck available for purchase. Some trunks will have games. We look forward to seeing you! 

Memorial- Please share how you are volunteering in the link below. This is a community-wide event, so we'd love to have a large participation.  

OCC kickoff is on October 25, and you will be able to get your boxes to fill. All Memorial boxes are to be returned filled by or on Nov. 15. We will pray over the boxes at our Thanksgiving meal. 

We hope you can join us after church on November 15 for a Thanksgiving Meal.  There is a sign-up in the sanctuary to let us know what you are bringing. Please RSVP so we have enough meat and seats.

More info to come, but we want to make sure you have the opportunity for an early bird price. Invite other couples and get registered soon.
