COMMUNION SERVICE - FEBRUARY 23, 2025
This Sunday we will be celebrating The Lord's Supper. Jesus instituted the Communion Service with His disciples recorded in Matthew 26:26-20, Mark 14:22-25, and Luke 22:19-20, as well as in 1 Corinthians 11. These verses describe when Jesus was keeping the Passover with His disciples for the last time. Jesus took the bread, and after He had given thanks, broke the bread and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." He also took the cup and said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." Each time we eat the bread and drink from the cup, we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. Our service begins at 10:30 a.m. in person or online via Facebook. Everyone is welcome.
Continue readingThis Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will be preaching Part III of the sermon series called "A SOBERING WARNING FROM THE BIBLE", based upon Hebrews 12:25-29. This is a message series that reminds us that many, many people in this world have become increasingly apathetic and indifferent to the Gospel Message of Salvation offered by Jesus Christ, our Savior, to all humanity. We have warnings throughout the Bible, God's Holy Word, that there is a coming judgment for those who reject God's precious gift of salvation through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, for our redemption. The writer of Hebrews is quoting from the Book of Haggai, who prophesied that a dark and threatening cloud will spread over the sky as God will fulfill a "promised" cataclysmic arrival and judgment. He will shake not only the earth but also the heavens, and the only thing that will remain is that which is truly real: the Word of God and those who who have been redeemed and belong to the kingdom of God.
God's desire is not to pour out His wrath and judgment upon the earth, but His holiness and His righteousness demands that He does so because sin can never enter heaven. Sin requires a sacrifice. Our amazing God is also a God of love and longsuffering, giving humanity the blessed opportunity to come into His saving graces. John 3:16-17 reminds us: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him."
As true believers, we know that when Jesus gave His life, shedding His blood on the cross, He was the one and only sacrificial offering that was needed to cover our sins. Unless we accept God's gift of redemption provided through His Son, we stand condemned and will suffer the judgment to come.
God allows each person to make his or her own choice - to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and live in heaven throughout all eternity, OR to reject Jesus as Savior and receive a judgment of eternity in pain and suffering in hell. There are no other options; Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
Come study with us the Scriptures in Hebrews 12 to find out more about this individual decision each of us must make. God's Holy Word is the source of ultimate truth! Our service begins at 10:30 a.m.; you can join us in person or online via Facebook. Everyone is welcome!
