Third Sunday after Pentecost

Rev. Alex Diaz

It is characteristic for our minds to be ever engaged in passing judgment on the things

which come before us. No sooner do we apprehend than we judge; we allow nothing to stand

by itself: we compare, contrast, abstract, generalize, connect, adjust, classify.

John Henry Newman

Second Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Josh Harp

It’s not faith that saves. It’s Christ that saves, through faith.

B.B. Warfield

Trinity Sunday

Pastor Josh Harp

God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely, and

unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass.

Westminster Confession of Faith, 3.1

Pentecost Sunday

Pastor Josh Harp

If you've inhaled God's love and God's power and forgiveness and salvation, you've got to exhale God's love into a broken world.

John Wesley

Seventh Sunday of Eastertide

Pastor Josh Harp

There’s a story that a British newspaper sent out an inquiry to famous authors, asking the

question, “What’s wrong with the world?” The writer G. K. Chesterton responded:

Dear Sir,

I am.

Yours, G.K. Chesterton

Sixth Sunday of Eastertide

Pastor Josh Harp

The fact is that the same Creator God and the same sovereign power that called the cosmos

into existence in the beginning has kept that cosmos in existence from moment to moment

to this very day.

Fifth Sunday of Eastertide

Pastor Josh Harp

You gotta love the church. You can’t love Christ and despise His body. You can’t reject His

bride. He has promised to present His bride to the Father without spot or wrinkle. Right

now we might be discouraged. Her wedding gown has been torn to shreds as if by a wolf. But

the groom will surely take care of all that. He will remove every spot, mend every tear, and

smooth every wrinkle. Remember, it is we who are the spots and the wrinkles. If we despise

them we despise ourselves.

R.C. Sproul

Fourth Sunday of Eastertide

Rev Jonathan Foster

…the whole Bible leads us to expect a glorious renewal of life on earth, so that the age to

come will be an endlessly thrilling adventure of living with God on the new earth. With his

presence pervading every act, we shall be more fully human than we have ever been,

liberated from sin, death and all that hurts or harms.

David Lawrence

Third Sunday of Eastertide

Reverend Doctor Justin McLendon

In the resurrection [Christ] Himself and we with Him were justified. His arising was the

public declaration of our acquittal. And that is not all. Christ was raised for our justification

in this other sense also that He could appropriate to us personally the acquittal implied in

His resurrection. … His resurrection is at one and the same time the evidence and the

source of our justification.

Herman Bavinck

Second Sunday of Eastertide

Pastor Josh Harp

Presbyterians claim that no part of God’s creation is exempt from God’s providence. It is

not as though Pharaoh was under God’s control, but Adam was not; or Cyrus was under

God’s control, but Augustus Caesar was not. All of God’s creatures are under his control.

Even inanimate objects and forces are under God’s control.

Sean Michael Lucas, On Being Presbyterian
