July 26, 2026

Join us for worship at Pender United Methodist Church on Sunday, July 26, 2026, the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, as Pastor Bruce Johnson shares the message: “Snapshots of the Kingdom”.

What does the Kingdom of God look like? In this week's Gospel, Jesus paints a series of vivid pictures through familiar parables—a tiny mustard seed, a pinch of yeast, hidden treasure, a priceless pearl, and a fishing net. Each offers a unique glimpse into God's kingdom and invites us to discover its extraordinary value in our everyday lives.

Drawing from these timeless stories, Pastor Bruce will explore how God's kingdom often begins in small and unexpected ways, grows beyond our imagination, and is worth giving everything to embrace.

Scripture readings for the morning include:
Romans 8:26–39
Matthew 13:31–33
Matthew 13:44–52

These passages remind us that nothing can separate us from the love of God and that His kingdom is a treasure beyond compare.

Whether you are joining us in person or online, we invite you to worship, grow in faith, and discover fresh "Snapshots of the Kingdom."
