Good afternoon,
This Sunday is our Baptism Class. We will meet after worship to discuss the purpose of baptism, how to schedule a baptism and to answer any questions that you might have about this sacred rite. Martin Luther reminds us that baptism is another way for the Gospel to be proclaimed, and for hearers of the Word to believe and trust in the great promises of God through Jesus Christ! We will meet this Sunday at Noon following our worship service.
Last week, I introduced our Summer Series on Philippians. This week, we will look at the focal point of the second half of chapter one. Paul’s imprisonment could undo all the work that he had done in sharing the Gospel. What kind of movement would spread a message of Good News across the Roman Empire, and then allow its current leader outside of Jerusalem to be arrested and imprisoned? This is not good marketing by the early church! There is a potential for the movement to implode. What will happen next? Stay tuned as we look at “The Shaking of the Foundations” (Philippians 1:12-26).
Pastor Steve
