Pastor Dillon Mack - Marengo

Psalm 40:1-10 ESV

1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
      he inclined to me and heard my cry.

2
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
      out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
      making my steps secure.

3
He put a new song in my mouth,
      a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
      and put their trust in the Lord.


4 Blessed is the man who makes
      the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
      to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
      your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
      none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
      yet they are more than can be told.


6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
      but you have given me an open ear.
Burnt offering and sin offering
      you have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
      in the scroll of the book it is written of me:
8 I delight to do your will, O my God;
      your law is within my heart.”


9 I have told the glad news of deliverance
      in the great congregation;
behold, I have not restrained my lips,
      as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
      I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
      from the great congregation.

Matt shared his testimony with the members and attendees of The Orchard Arlington Heights, and how he has seen God work throughout his life. My name is Matt and I grew up here at this church. I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart on the first day of second grade but I never really thought more about Jesus until my sophomore year of high school when Pastor Brad gave me a book on theology. With that book I grew to understand more of who Jesus is and what he had done. Unfortunately, that only lasted until I went away to college.

Vince shared with the staff at The Orchard Itasca how God has been moving in his life, and how Vince's life has been turned around through faithful obedience. Coming to The Orchard Itasca has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. Pastors Ryan Potelicki and Ryan Coburn have been everything I’ve ever wanted in spiritual leaders and then some! Through them, God has really let Himself be known to me. Having grown up Catholic, becoming an atheist for 10 years, then rediscovering the Lord, the deep-dives into scripture during the sermons have been exactly what I felt was missing in my past. Ever since God led me to those doors on George Street in Itasca back on Mother's Day 2024, I went from reading my Bible because that’s what a “good Christian” is supposed to do, to now looking forward to
