In tonight's message Pastoral intern Jansen Lorch provides a Ministry Report on how God called him into His ministry, sharing both his personal testimony as well as Kaylee's, and the plans they have to serve Christ in the coming years.

In this message Pastor Matt leads our study in the book of Titus reminding us that Christians are to live godly lives because we were ungodly before but are not now. In this message we study the head-to-head contrast of the traits of a non-believer versus characteristics of a redeemed person. Consider 1 Peter 4:1-3: we have spent enough of our life in sin. Time to move on for Christ.

Our Scripture reading was Ezekiel 6:1-14.

For Sunday school, Pastor Matt continues our study on the theology of the cross and gospel and how it can be studied and applied in our daily lives as Christians. It specifies how our savior Jesus Christ's sacrifice was sufficient to save sinners from the 2nd death and how His people can have a relationship with Him.

In tonight's message pastoral intern Jansen Lorch leads our continued study in the book of Ezra. We learn of Israel's worship to God was restored and the alter was rebuilt. Additionally, Israel's regular calendar had resumed.

In tonight's message Pastor Matt hosts a Bible Q and A, focused on the following questions: 1) God's forgiveness and His example on how Christians should forgive one another. 2) Someone was reflecting on the Vietnam era, focused on the treatment of returned veterans and how they were shamed. This person questioned their ability to be saved by Christ. 3) Why God created the Sabbath for man and it's purpose. 4) The Gospel presentation method, which not only presents present information about Christ but we want to engage the conscious of the person we are witnessing too.

Our Scripture reading was found in 1 Chronicles 6:1-81.

We have learned about Jesus’s gracious appearing and second appearing. About His saving appearing and glorious appearing. We have studied His saving grace, teaching grace, and sacrificing grace. Let us also have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptable with reverence and godly fear.

In this message James Widgeon leads our new study in the book of Obadiah, with supporting Scripture from Genesis, Numbers, and Acts on the two sons of Issac, Jacob and Esau. Jacob would receive the birth-rite blessing of Issac, His Father, even though Esau was born first. Jacob's descendants would form the later Israelite's and Esau's descendants would form the Edomite's. These two nations would forever be at enmity with the other.

Jesus taught things straight up. He did not mince words, use evasive language, or speak uncertainly or in generalities. He spoke clearly, specifically, directly. He cut to the heart of the matter, not beating around the bush or stopping short of what is truly needed. Consequently, the people were amazed. They were not left in the dark or able to “interpret” His words in a self-favoring, “donothing” sense. They understood, and it was clear, unlike the teaching of the Pharisees and Scribes before Jesus came onto the scene. I suspect that there are still people out there who, though inoculated against such authoritative teaching, can still experience a breakthrough case of the gospel and be saved. Millions of souls need direct, soul-saving teaching of God’s word. They are not getting it out there in the world with all the mish-mash of stuff out there. Christian faith is life transforming. It is live saving. It is life-preserving. It is the only safe option in the storms of life and the coming deluge of judgment. You must be settled on the Rock of your salvation, Jesus Christ, else you will be crushed by the fall of your house onto your head.
