Word from the Wise: Wisdom of the Heart

There’s having all the correct ideas, and then there’s having a correct heart, and James points out that one does not necessarily lead to the other. In fact, according to James, there’s a version of knowledge and wisdom that’s downright demonic! If we have to choose between being right in our understanding and right in our character, there’s no contest: character should lead the way every single time.

Hey hey, my beautiful PVC family,

I'll be away from Pleasant Valley this weekend, but my heart is very much with you! I am so grateful that worship is in such wonderful hands! The Strattes and the Piñangos are going to lead you into a beautiful time in God's presence, and I just know it is going to be so sweet.

Let's get right into this week's Playlist of Preparation! Click one of the buttons below to listen ahead on Spotify or YouTube, or feel free to make your own!

This Sabbath you'll be singing: Jesus at the Center, Goodness of God, Jesus We Love You, and The Blessing.

Jesus at the Center says it all, doesn't it? In everything we do, in every song we sing, in every moment we gather—may it always be Jesus at the center. That is my prayer for you this weekend, PVC: that your worship would not be a performance, not be a production; but that you'd just be a room full of people with their eyes fixed on Him.

"Jesus at the center of it all—from beginning to the end, it will always be, it's always been You, Jesus."

Have a beautiful, Spirit-filled Sabbath. I'll be missing you and cheering you on from afar!

With love, Hannah, Your Minister of Music    

Our giving emphasis this Sabbath is for Women’s Ministries—such a beautiful part of our wider conference efforts.

Here in Oregon, women’s ministries is part of Relational Ministries—focused on building Christ-centered relationships where people feel loved, supported, and connected.

Through this ministry, women are encouraged and strengthened in ways that reach far beyond what any one church can do alone.

As always, we invite you to continue supporting our local Church Ministries Budget and our Student Aid Fund, which sustain the mission right here at home.

Thank you for your faithful support of what God is doing—both here and beyond.
