The Seven Deadly Sins & The Seven Life-Giving Virtues
"ENVY & KINDNESS"
Pastor Joe Abbey- Colborne
Have you ever found yourself wishing someone would just “get what was coming to them!”?
You may know the person I mean. They just seem to cruise from one success to another, with everything working out beautifully for them, and it comes to them so effortlessly. And you just wish for once, they would falter, stumble and fall flat on their face.
Or perhaps you just find yourself online, scrolling through “Instant Karma” videos, and enjoying them a little too deeply.
What IS envy? Is it the same as jealousy? Am I envious when I see someone else’s possessions or success, and I think, “that looks good. I’m going to try to get some of that too?” Or is it something deeper and more extreme? Is it more to do with THEM and less to do with what they have?
And what’s the antidote?
For this Sunday… read Mark 7:18-23 & James 3:12- 4:3

God is in the business of transforming — recreating, rebuilding, and renewing all kinds of things: lives, friendships, marriages, organizations, cities, tribes, and nations. He invites us to participate with him in this. He calls it “following him." We call it our mission.

Worship at Immanuel
Worship at Immanuel is a time for our community to gather together to bring praise to God, to share our lives and stories with each other, and to hear what God has to say to us through the Bible. Our hope is that worship mirrors our relationship with God, and so gives us opportunity as a community to pray, sing, reflect, lament, offer, listen, and respond to the challenges of the Bible. Through the Holy Spirit, we pray that our worship will transform our lives so that we grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Serving at Immanuel
We gather and serve in many different ways - and love to welcome and enfold all who want to walk with us! From setting up for the service, to making coffee, greeting, playing or singing, teaching - there are countless ways to use eyour gifts at Immanuel Community Church!
“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.”
