“God Is Up to Good Things”
Philippians 1:3-11
This is a Sunday you don't want to miss! Brave the weather and come out if you are in the Berkley area, or worship with us online. The music will feature new and familiar modern worship favorites, and Pastor Zack will bring a message on how God is continually up to good things. The brokenness of the world can feel overwhelming at times, and it seems there is little that we can do to make an impact. Yet, God can put us to good use as agents of transformative love. And, friends, God is just getting started! This week's scripture reminds us that "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion."

WINTER SERMON SERIES AT BERKLEY FIRST
By Faith
January 18 – February 15
Hebrews chapter 11 stands like a trophy case or memorial plaque to Old Testament heroes of the faith, some of whom are better-known than others. Interestingly, while each of these heroes has their own baggage, we are also told that “the world was not worthy of them.” In this five-week Winter Series, Pastor Zack will draw raw wisdom from real the lives of Abel, Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, Rahab, David, and Samuel. If you ever wanted to know more about your spiritual ancestors, now’s your chance.

By Faith: Rahab and the People of Israel, Joshua 2:8-15
Jesus has a sex worker in his family tree. Worship with Berkley First this Sunday as Pastor Zack explores the unlikely story of Rahab amidst the conquest of Canaan. When we operate out of faith, God can transform being in the wrong place at the wrong time into something spectacular.

By Faith: David and Samuel, 1 Samuel 16:4-13
You would be hard pressed to find someone in Scripture more complicated than David. This adulterous murderer began his life as the runt of the litter and grew to become a king. He was called “a man after God’s own heart” and penned lyrics that still resonate with us today. Samuel, who was a bit of a mentor to David, served as a bridge between the world that was and the world as it would be. Find in these two Biblical heroes strength and wisdom to write your own part of God's continuing story.
