Sunday Worship Service - "Sons of Thunder"

  • First Congregational Church of Bakersfield-UCC 5 Real Road Bakersfield, CA, 93309 United States (map)

Join us this Sunday for a special service titled "Sons of Thunder" where we explore the profound message of love and compassion found in the Bible passages 1 Corinthians 13:1–7 and Matthew 9:36–38. In 1 Corinthians, we delve into the essence of love, understanding its transformative power and its indispensable role in our lives. We reflect on the characteristics of love as described by the apostle Paul, inspiring us to embody these virtues in our daily interactions.

In Matthew, we witness Jesus's deep compassion for the crowds, likening them to sheep without a shepherd. Moved by their plight, he urges his disciples to pray for more workers to join in the harvest of souls. This passage challenges us to emulate Christ's compassion, to see beyond ourselves and reach out to those in need, both spiritually and physically.

As we gather together, let us heed the call to be Sons of Thunder, not in loudness or forcefulness, but in the thunderous power of love and compassion. Join us this Sunday as we explore these timeless teachings and discover how we can become agents of love and compassion in our world today.
