Experience the warmth of true community –
God’s love changes us, as we love like Jesus
“Is not My word like a fire?” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer which shatters a rock?”
– Jeremiah 23:29
In ancient days, men would heat gold or silver to extreme temperatures that would burn away all the impurities. Then with great skill, they hammered the metal into a desired form. This was a process of many steps: heating, pounding, reheating, hammering some more, then plunging the metal into cooling water to harden the new shape.
This is how God transforms us. He is always at work burning away the impurities and even hammering when He needs to, in order to conform us to the image of His Son. So let’s make sure we are taking time daily to join Him in the process by spending time with His “fire and hammer” – His Word, the Bible. And remember, He’s not done with His work in us yet.

The Gospel of John is unique. It contains the record of seven miracles that bring welcomed encouragement to us who live in the 21st Century.
John called Jesus’ miracles “signs.” Every miracle Jesus performed with a parable for instruction.
In the coming weeks, Pastor Doug Parsons will preach on one of these seven miracles of Jesus and show His power not only over nature but His redeeming power over sin, death, hell, and the grace.
Join us at Washington First Methodist Church on Sunday, 11:00 a.m. this Fall and hear the following messages:

Through our service to one another, we grow in community and strengthen the place where we call home.
We strive to be changed by God so that we love like Jesus.
In order to preserve the ministry values and integrity of Washington First Methodist Church’s mission, we put importance on the scripture in what we believe and how we acknowledge God’s Word in everything we do.
