• WORSHIP FOR 10/11

  Clothed in the Righteousness of Christ, We Partake of His Wedding Feast. By His Cross and Resurrection, the Lord has swallowed up death forever, and by His Gospel He “will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of His people He will take away from all the earth” (Isaiah 25:8). Therefore, “let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation” (Isaiah 25:9). On the Mountain of the Lord of hosts—in His Church on earth, as in the kingdom of heaven—He has made “for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine” (Isaiah 25:6). It is the royal “wedding feast” of the Son of God, “and everything is ready” (Matthew 22:1, 4). Thus, His servants are sent into the highways and bi-ways to invite and gather as many as they find, “both good and bad,” to fill the wedding hall with guests (Matthew 22:8-10). In Holy Baptism, He clothes them all in the “wedding garment” of His own perfect righteousness (Matthew 22:11). Therefore, “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God,” and “rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4-6). 

• ADULT BIBLE CLASS ON GENESIS

  

  The Bible is not only the world’s most profound spiritual book, it is also by far humanity’s oldest, longest, most complete historical record.  In telling its spiritual story it also includes many fascinating historical details like the “War of the Nine Kings,” the first recorded war in all of ancient literature, in which the patriarch Abraham got caught up in approximately 2000 B.C.  Stay for Adult Bible Class after worship Sunday in the Fellowship Hall as we continue the remarkable story of Abraham in our study of Genesis—Book of Beginnings.
