"God's Love Through His Creation" | Romans 8:18-25

This weekend, we are looking forward to having one outdoor service at 10 a.m. [If it's raining, we'll move indoors.] Bring chairs, hats, and sunscreen. We are also excited to be sharing an international lunch afterwards. We hope you can stay. 

Our sermon passage for this week is Romans 8:18-25 with the message called: “God’s Love Through His Creation”. As we have been studying the biblical doctrine of God’s love, one of the texts that always pops up as a favorite is Romans 8. Paul talks about how Christians are able to live in a world that is hostile and heart-breaking and yet not lose hope. What sustains Christians is God’s unfailing love. Paul concludes Romans 8 by declaring with absolute confidence that nothing “will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

Sometimes, it is excruciatingly difficult to live in this broken and groaning world. In our passage this week, Paul will describe both creation and Christians as groaning for glory. It seems that every week we hear in the news of horrific stories of people suffering through natural disasters. Last week’s flashfloods in Texas hill county are a case in point. This Sunday, we will see that God’s love is greater than all our groaning. This world is destined for better and more glorious days and creation both fuels our longing for glory and shares in the guarantee of our eternal hope. Come this Sunday as we see how God’s love is revealed to us through creation and ultimately, new creation. Hope to see you. Invite a friend!

All-Church Multicultural Luncheon

All-Church Multicultural Luncheon

Multicultural Luncheon 

This Sunday after church!


Join us after church this Sunday for a luncheon celebrating the various cultures that contribute to the uniqueness of Waterbrooke! Italian potatoes and Honduran baleadas (like quesadillas) showcase our missionaries, with Afghan rice prepared by the refugee family we assist.  Brazilian steak and Korean wings/ wontons and more represent others of our congregation.  We’re thankful that none of the Scandinavians among us have offered up lutefisk!  (But we’ll take their desserts any day!)

Bring your appetites!  A generous donation is helping make this luncheon possible!

Watch the website or app for updates.

Meet Karise Pagano

We’re thankful to have Karise Pagano, one of Waterbrooke’s sent missionaries, with us for the summer. This will likely be her final extended time in Minnesota before returning to Italy for the long term. After this summer, she anticipates only being at church briefly—just a couple of Sundays in December or March.

Karise desires to connect with the Waterbrooke family she represents overseas. If you haven’t had a chance to get to know her yet, now is a great time! Feel free to reach out and say hello, invite her for coffee, or ask her about her ministry in Italy. Let’s take this opportunity to encourage and spend time with one of our own before she heads back to serve the Lord abroad. info@redenti.org
