The Appeal of Love

Pastor Linda finished her series of sermons about Colossians and the tiny book of Philemon.

The apostle Paul had a dream long before Martin Luther King. Paul's dream was to value every human being as God created them. Deeper than human rights is the value of love. Master = slave. We are all worth the same, because we are set free from the slavery of sin through the life blood of Christ. As you do your job, remember you are not working for man, but for the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are saved by Grace, through Faith, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, through the scripture.

Jesus, Our High Priest

August 18, 2013 was a terrific sermon by Becky Henry, inspired by Hebrews 10:19-25.
I apologize to her for not getting a blog post done last week. Sometimes a busy life gets in the way.

Hebrews 10:19-25 (NIV)

A Call to Persevere in Faith

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, ²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, ²⁵ not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
