Members and Friends of Hyde Park Community
Pastor Doug Johns
With a grateful heart Cathy and I praise God, and give thanks for our shared ministry, and your commitment to this ministry. Reflecting upon the many ways God is at work at Hyde Park Community/Over-the-Rhine Community United Methodist Church, it is with a grateful heart we pray with King David:
"Yours, O Lord, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours; . . .all things come from you, and of your own have we given you . . . I know, my God, that you search the heart, and take pleasure in uprightness; in the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you." (from 1 Chronicles 29:11-17)
From Abraham to Moses to David and Jesus, God's people embraced the fact that all we have comes from God, and belongs to God. Therefore, it was with a grateful heart that they "freely and joyously" offered God their tithes.
