Welcome... Here in Anchorage there are a number of good churches and finding a church for you and your family can be a difficult task. Here at First Presbyterian one of the things we hold as a high priority is to strive to learn the Word of God and apply the Word of God to our lives. We take the Bible seriously. Scripture is not just a historical document or great literature; Scripture is profoundly powerful. When we can understand and practically apply what Scriptures says to our lives, dramatic things happen, our lives change for the better, what we truly seek in life starts to fall into place. Here, on Sunday mornings, there are no movie reviews, political rants, esoteric musings or policy statements from the pulpit. Here at First Presbyterian, we worship, we pray, and then, we open the Holy Scriptures to learn what the Word of God says, and how that Word can be applied to our lives - at this very moment. We seek, not the pastor’s opinion, nor do we seek the current theological rage, rather we seek what God is saying to us through the Bible. Simple, concise, but so powerful. Currently on Sunday mornings we are taking a close look at the New Testament book of Acts. This powerful book shows us how to live our day to day Christian lives. Acts answers so many questions we have about our everyday Christian life, and the answers Acts provides are not only sobering, but are as effective today as they were over 2000 years ago. Wake up, throw something on and join us on any given Sunday and experience the dramatic impact God’s Word can have on your life. We are not a perfect place, we are the first to admit that. Yet, we find that the Lord Jesus Christ in His patience and in His mercy is bringing a powerful sense of healing to each of us as individuals and also to us as a congregation. Jesus takes us for who we are, but thankfully He does not stop there. Jesus takes us for who we are, then He changes us into who He wants us to be. Such a change in our lives is slow, such a change is difficult, and such a change can even be painful – yet, the joy, the freedom and the peace that we receive from Jesus Christ through his work in our lives through this change…Priceless. May the power of the Holy Spirit be with you, Rev. Peter Loughman |
