My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ;

Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ~Ephesians 4:1-3

Almost three months ago, I came to you live on Facebook to discuss the fluidity of not only the COVID-19 pandemic itself but of decisions and actions being made to address it; in our country and in our church. I attempted to be “measured and responsible” in my decision-making processes and in how we would respond. I Worship Schedule

The writer of Lamentations shares that Hope…..

Its vivid use Pastor Barker of images and visual descriptions is striking. Isaiah writes to an affluent people who have grown cold and distant from their God. He strikes with the deepest Law—warning of God’s coming wrath, which sweeps on like a raging flood. Then he speaks of the gracious love of God, pouring the rich, healing Gospel into wounded souls. But what sets this book close to the Gospels in importance is the wealth of information Isaiah reveals about God’s promised Son and His saving mission, from His birth to His ministry to His suffering, death, and resurrection. Even more, he explains very clearly how Jesus’ suffering and death will secure our salvation, some seven hundred years before Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin. 6/10, 6/17, 6/24, 7/1 – The Book of James James, who wrote this letter, was probably one of Jesus’ brothers listed in Matthew 13:55. During Jesus’ ministry, James did not believe He was the Messiah (John 7:5). After Pentecost, James gained a prominent place in the Chris- tian Church in Jerusalem. It is likely he wrote this letter before Paul’s first missionary journey and the resulting Jeru- salem Council. James writes about the practical issues and struggles that face every believer: impatience, failure to do what we know is right, favoritism, apathy, and selfishness. For all Christians, this epistle reminds us not to live a lazy and workless faith, but rather to live out our repentance with deeds of love in gratitude to Jesus Christ. For that reason, since James writes a how-to letter, his epistle is often considered the Proverbs of the New Testament. Trinity Classifieds
