• WORSHIP FOR 10/18

  Jesus Christ Gives Rest to Weary Souls Who Come to Him in Faith and Trust in Him. Though we “labor and are heavy laden,” Jesus calls us to Himself and gives rest to our souls through His free and full forgiveness (Matthew 11:28), not because we are “wise and understanding,” but by the “gracious will” of God the Father, whom “the Son chooses to reveal” in love (Matthew 11:25-27). Now by the preaching of this Gospel, “in power and in the Holy Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 1:5), people from all over the world are “turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God” (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10). When we rely on human strength we will stumble, but “Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). Just as eagles ride the air currents as they stretch out their wings and soar, God promises to be the wind beneath the wings of His people. 

• ADULT BIBLE CLASS ON GENESIS

  

  One of the most mysterious characters in the Bible is “Melchizedek king of Salem,” who blessed the patriarch Abraham (Genesis 14:17-20). As Hebrews 7:3 says, “There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors—no beginning or end to his life.” Who was this enigmatic figure? Where did he come from? How does he relate to Jesus and our faith? Stay for Adult Bible Class after worship Sunday in the Fellowship Hall as we continue our study of Genesis—Book of Beginnings.
