With our theme of Being a House of Prayer, we're going to have a pastoral prayer every Sunday. We'll have a different topic to pray for each month led by an elder. March's prayer topic is "Repentance & Personal Holiness". Today, Elder Sean Cherry read Romans 5:1-5 and led us in a prayer of repentance and hope.
Today was My Hope Sunday where we had invited guests with whom we could share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Bro. Lawrence Roberts shared the testimony of his diagnosis of MS and how God used that to develop and strengthen his faith. I preached on Romans 6:23 with the topic "My Hope is in the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
The Gospel of Jesus Christ can be summarized with these four points:
As Christians, we are to help those who are in need. We have someone in our church who is going through a very difficult time and needs our help. Next Sunday, we're going to raise a love offering to help this member. Please come prepared to give generously to the love offering next week.
As a church body, we are fasting and praying during Lent. This week, 3/9-3/14, we're going to fast from some particular favorite activity with a prayer focus on confession and repentance.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ can be summarized with these four points:
- God (Creator, holy, and must punish sin)
- Man (Rebelled and has fallen short of God's glory)
- Christ (Died on the cross to bear the wrath for all who would believe)
- Response (God calls everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and trust in Christ in order to be saved)
