Invitation to Hear the Holiday Message – “Christ Our Saviour” ( The Shepherd's Lantern ) Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Because of the snowstorm sweeping Omaha, we will not be gathering in person today. Instead, we have prepared a special recorded teaching for this Thanksgiving weekend titled “Christ Our Saviour – The Shepherd’s Lantern.” In this message we explore the powerful image of the shepherd who leaves the ninety‑nine to seek the one lost sheep (Luke 15:3‑7) and the grace that Christ already secured for us on the cross (Romans 5:6‑10). It is a reminder that, even amid winter’s chill, the Light of Christ continues to guide every wandering heart back to the fold. How to Listen & Study Together
May this truth illuminate your Thanksgiving celebrations and draw you ever closer to the One who seeks you. Upcoming Gatherings
With Christ’s love and gratitude, The Covenant of Grace Ministry & Fellowship Team

🎧 A Message on the Power of God's Perfect Word 📜 We are delighted to share the audio from last week's message, delivered right here at Covenant of Grace Ministry & Fellowship. This message focuses on the life-changing truth found in Psalm 19:7-11, where the Psalmist declares: "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple..." Join us as we dive deep into this foundational scripture, exploring how God's Holy Word—His law, testimony, statutes, commandments, fear, and judgments—is not just good advice, but a perfect instrument designed by Him to:
We pray that as you listen and study this Word that has been shared, you will not only hear a sermon, but personally embrace the powerful, transforming reality of what God has for you in His Holy Scriptures. Take the time to listen, reflect, and allow His perfect Word to do its perfect work in your heart today. Blessings in Christ, Jan Welch, Administrative Coordinator, CGMF Covenant of Grace Ministry & Fellowship Celebrating a Weekend of Hope and Fellowship This past weekend, Pastor Vossen had the distinct privilege of stepping onto the pulpit at Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Facing a season without a permanent shepherd, the congregation welcomed Pastor Vossen’s heartfelt ministry with open arms, finding encouragement and fresh perspective in his message. Recognizing the church’s current transition, Pastor Vossen announced an exciting new chapter: he will join a rotating team of dedicated ministers who will regularly visit Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. Together, they aim to uplift the saints of God, nurture spiritual growth, and keep the flame of worship burning brightly while the church seeks its next pastoral leader. May this shared ministry be a source of strength, inspiration, and hope for every soul gathered under the roof of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. Pastor's message was from the book of Exodus chapter 3 on " I am To You Today. " His message outline is attached to this blog post for you personal edification and study.
Letting the Spirit Lead: A Message from Covenant of Grace This past Sunday at our weekly Gathering service at Covenant of Grace in Omaha, I had the privilege of sharing a message that’s been stirring in my heart: “Restricting Ourselves in Order for the Spirit of God to Rule.” It’s a call to intentional surrender—an invitation to lay down our preferences, comforts, and impulses so that the Spirit of God might truly reign in our lives. We explored how spiritual maturity often involves restraint—not as a punishment, but as a pathway to deeper intimacy with Christ. When we choose to limit ourselves for the sake of obedience, we make room for the Spirit to guide, convict, and empower us. This isn’t about legalism or self-denial for its own sake—it’s about cultivating a life that reflects the character and authority of Jesus. If you missed the Gathering or want to revisit the message, I’ve attached the audio recording to this post. I also encourage you to study along with the notes, reflect on the Scriptures shared, and consider how this teaching might shape your walk this week. Whether you’re part of our Covenant of Grace family or simply seeking spiritual nourishment, I invite you to listen, study, and share. May the Spirit of God lead you into greater freedom through holy restraint. Grace and peace, Pastor Vossen
Join Us at Covenant of Grace for a Fresh Look at Psalm 121 Date: Today Time: 2:00pm – 3:30 pm (followed by fellowship coffee) Location: Covenant of Grace Why Psalm 121? Psalm 121, “God’s Unfailing Guard,” is a timeless pilgrimage song that reminds us where true help comes from--the Maker of heaven and earth. In a world that constantly presents new “mountains” to climb—whether they’re personal challenges, work pressures, or global uncertainties—this psalm points us back to the One who never slumbers, never rests, and stands beside us as a cool shade at our right hand. Our study today will draw on a beautifully crafted devotional guide that breaks the psalm into eight verses, each paired with a key promise, a personal takeaway, and reflection questions designed to make the ancient text speak directly into our everyday lives. What We'll Explore Verse 1 Lifting our eyes to the “mountains” we face and asking, “Where are my mountains today?” Verses 2‑4 Understanding God as the ever‑watchful Keeper whose vigilance never wanes. Verse 5 Visualizing God’s shade at our right hand—an intimate, protective presence. Verses 6‑7 Experiencing all‑time cover: protection from both the glaring sun and the hidden moon, and safeguarding our hearts from evil. Verse 8 Walking confidently through every departure and return, knowing God walks every mile with us. Each segment will include a brief teaching, a group discussion of the reflection questions, and a moment of prayer to personalize the promises for our own journeys. How You Can Participate
“He who keeps you will not slumber… He will keep your going out and your coming in, now and forevermore.” — Psalm 121:4‑8 (CEB) The guide we’ll use includes visual reminders (e.g., the image of a steady lantern on a mountain ridge) and practical prompts such as:
Invite a Friend!Feel free to forward this invitation, share the link on social media, or simply bring someone along who could use a fresh dose of divine reassurance. Whether you’re a regular attendee or visiting for the first time, you’ll find a warm welcome and a message that speaks to the heart of every pilgrim. Let’s lift our eyes together, trust in the One who never sleeps, and experience the peace that comes from walking under His eternal shade. We look forward to seeing you at Covenant of Grace today!

Our hearts were stirred by the reminder that “there is neither Jew nor Greek…for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28) and the call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). To keep that momentum alive, we have now posted:
“Let us therefore strive to do what pleases the Lord, knowing that we shall receive the reward of eternal life.” — 1 John 5:3 Your participation matters. When we collectively seek God’s truth, we become the living bridge He calls us to be—uniting hearts, breaking down walls, and reflecting the glorious diversity of His kingdom. May the Spirit empower you as you study, pray, and act. We look forward to hearing how God moves in your life through this study. In Christ’s love, Jan Welch, Administrative Assistant of CGMF Feel free to share this invitation on your website, social media, or in the church newsletter. Let’s continue building that bridge together!
Join Us for a Time of Worship and Study! We invite you to join us this Saturday, the 4th, at 2 PM for a special gathering at Covenant of Grace Ministry & Fellowship, worshipping at St. Martin of Tours in South Omaha. As we come together in worship, we will delve into the powerful message found in 2 Kings 19. In this chapter, we witness the faith of King Hezekiah as he faces the overwhelming threat of the Assyrian Empire. Despite the dire circumstances, Hezekiah turns to God in prayer, seeking divine intervention and guidance. This narrative reminds us of the importance of faith in times of crisis and the assurance that God hears our prayers and acts on behalf of His people. Come and be part of this enriching experience as we explore themes of trust, divine protection, and the fulfillment of God's promises. Whether you are a long-time member or new to our community, we welcome you with open arms. Let’s worship together and grow in our understanding of God’s Word. We look forward to seeing you there! --- Details: When: Saturday, the 4th at 2 PM Where: Covenant of Grace Ministry & Fellowship, St. Martin of Tours, South Omaha Feel free to bring a friend and share in this meaningful time of fellowship and learning!
