Strength and Endurance



More great words from Robert McKethan!

Greenway Family,
In the best of times, living the Christian life requires strength and endurance…strength and endurance to stay focused on our Lord and Savior.    We’re all faced with issues with relationships, work responsibilities, caring for family members, making financial or retirement decisions, sickness, the loss of loved ones…and the list goes on.  On top of these everyday stressors, we’re now facing a once in a lifetime world health crisis. With all that is going it is so easy to be overwhelmed and fall into despair. As I contemplate our responsibilities and current world events, I also think about how best to cope.  This brings to mind the words of the prophet Isaiah (Chapter 40):
28 Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.  29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
The hymn Be Strong and Take Courage (Don Moen) echoes the promises found in Isaiah’s words.  Take a moment read the words found in Isaiah 40:28-31 and listen to Be Strong and Take Courage…you’ll be uplifted!
Your brother, Robert

Hymn Playlist

Hello Everyone - One of the things I enjoy most as your Worship Director is the opportunity to play for you.  I am always humbled when I hear folks say that they are able to worship, reflect, and connect with God through the music.  I know that for many, music can be one of the best ways to experience God and to worship Him. I am sharing below a few recordings that I did several years ago of some of my favorite hymns.  I hope to be able to make some new recordings to share soon, but in the meantime, I hope these may be a blessing to you. Don't forget to check back regularly on this blog, as we are adding lots of new content throughout the week! In Christ, Justin CLICK HERE to listen to the music.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Hello, Greenway family!  We are enjoying social distancing today with drive thru Chick-Fil-A at a remote picnic table at Price Park. Thankful that God has sent beautiful sunshine, fresh mountain air, and more family time to us during this season. After lunch, we took pictures of details in His creation that we found amazing! What things have you taken notice of? “All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all!” Blessings, Max, Christy, Leah and Julia
