This Sunday at Church: Pray for any Church you know going through the Process of Having a New Elder

We added another elder this year, and we have seen the spiritual attacks. I know of a couple other churches that have grown and added elders, and they, too, have had interesting seasons.

Our Adversary hates unity and love, so may we pray for all churches, especially those sticking to biblical standards.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for those who are a part of the Church in Hospice Care

Interestingly but sadly, our congregation just had some people who either went into hospice or may be soon there. I am continually grateful for these timely exhortations.

This Sunday: Encourage the Church Security Team

We are fortunate that our head of church security is also one of our service deacons. Our congregation trusts him and our team, knowing they are there to keep things from harming anyone or distracting from worship and hearing the Word.

This Sunday at Church: Encourage Someone to read the Old Testament

As part of the Adult Sunday School class on apologetics I am leading, there are often a blend of passages from both testaments. Today also happens to include a strong request to read entire passages I allude to. (Today we are covering “Christian Gnosticism,” and there is a mention of Andy Stanley’s “unhitching” from the OT.)

The OT is so worth it. Read it.

Simply repeating it: Keeping It Really Simple Today … on the Gospel

Here is a 9-year-old post that bears repeating.

Here is keeping it simple: I will just post a quick thought on a topic. Nothing else.

This week’s topic:

The Gospel
The Gospel is that God has a perfect standard that no person has ever been able to perfectly meet. We are all guilty of breaking this standard, of sinning, and there was no way we could ever fix it. So God came in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to perfectly live by that standard, and then He died. His death brought about the forgiveness we needed for our sins. Three days later, He proved He is God by rising from the dead, and those who believe all of this have the hope of a future resurrection and eternity with Him!

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
1 Corinthians 15:1-3, ESV

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16
