All the Men’s Kings: The Prophets

The history written in the books of Kings covers centuries of idolatry, corruption, and oppression. And what was God doing about it? Did he stand by silently as this people, appointed to be a light to the world, descended into darkness? Did he impatiently give them what they deserved? Did he write them off and abandon them? The words of the Hebrew prophets are often scathing, with terrible warnings and dismal predictions, because God is relentless in his love and longing for his people. “Turn, turn!” he says. “Be my people and let me be your God!”

Hey hey, you wonderful PVC people!

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 we'll be singing: This Is My Father's World, Lion and the Lamb, Graves into Gardens, Be Still My Soul, and Reckless Love.

There is something so breathtaking about a God who doesn't just welcome us when we find our way back to Him—but who comes running after us before we even turn around. This weekend's message is rooted in that very truth, and this song set is the perfect backdrop for it. Come ready to be reminded just how relentlessly and tenderly you are loved.

Excited to worship with you!

Hannah,
Your Minister of Music    

Thank you, church family, for your consistent generosity. Week after week, your faithfulness helps make ministry happen at Pleasant Valley Church.

Many of the things we value most about our church are made possible through the Church Ministries Budget--which is our giving emphasis this Sabbath. Because of you, our local budget supports our children's and youth ministries, community outreach, worship services, facility operations, and the day-to-day work that creates a welcoming place for people to encounter Jesus.

What makes that possible isn't a few large gifts, but the steady faithfulness of many people giving as the Lord leads. Thank you for being part of that mission.

As we give, let's continue investing in the work God is doing here at PVC and trust Him to use our collective gifts to reach our community with His love, hope, and grace.
