Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud HanceScripture referencePsalm 151 Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?Who may dwell in Your holy hill?2 He who walks uprightly,And works righteousness,And speaks the truth in his heart;3 He who does not backbite with his tongue,Nor does evil to his neighbor,Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised,But he honors those who fear the Lord;He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;5 He who does not put out his money at usury,Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.He who does these things shall never be moved.

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud HanceScripture reference1 Peter 3:18-22 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him
