Bible Study at Good Shepherd on July 23 - Luke 11:24ff.

Not only did God the Father entrust to His Son the power and authority to call the spiritually dead to faith and life through His Word, but He has also entrusted to the Son the power and authority to raise all the dead on the last day and judge them.

Has God cast aside Israel? Is there still hope for those descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? We Look at God's Word in Romans 11 for God's answer.

Will God hear and answer our prayers? Consider Jesus' words in Luke 11:5ff.

Bible Study from Luke 11 - the Lord's Prayer - at Good Shepherd in Rogers, Ark.

Worship at Good Shepherd on July 9, 2023. The sermon and Scripture lesson were from Romans 10.

Indeed Christ Jesus is the end — the fulfillment (telos) — of the law for righteousness to all who believe. Jesus fulfilled all righteousness for us and, through faith in His sufferings, death, and glorious resurrection, God “hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Eph. 1:6-7).

If you believe Jesus’ words and trust in Him and His cross for pardon and forgiveness, take comfort! You will not be condemned on the day of judgment but have passed from death to life! But, if you do not believe Jesus’ words and do not trust in Jesus and His cross for pardon and forgiveness, you stand condemned already because you do not believe in the name of the only-begotten Son of God, your only Savior. Now is the time to repent and look to Jesus for pardon and forgiveness!

"What shall I do to inherit eternal life," an expert in Old Testament law asked Jesus to test Him. When Jesus directed him back to the law and to love for God and love for neighbor as the fulfillment of the law, the lawyer asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" The point of Jesus' telling of the Parable of the Good Samaritan may surprise you, but it reveals that none of us loves God or our neighbor as the law requires, and our only hope is in Jesus, our Savior.
