Weekly Bulletin: 2022-06-15
Dear Church,
This Sunday, we will be taking a slight break from our study through the books of 1 and 2 Kings to examine, perhaps, one of the more interesting chapters in the New Testament — that of Romans 7. The confessions of the apostle Paul that make up Romans 7 make for a somewhat unsettling read, as he seems to confess that even he, God’s chosen apostle to the Gentiles, is burdened with a load of sins he cannot seem to shake. I am so excited to bring this sermon to you. We will also be hearing a short word from our friends at Gideon’s International.
There will be no evening service this week, due to the Father’s Day holiday. I pray you will enjoy the extra time with family and friends. And as you celebrate the fathers in your life, I pray, too, that you’ll remember your Heavenly Father, who does all things well.
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort” (2 Cor. 1:3).
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
