Back, Just in time for Easter

 



I am so sorry that I have neglected this BLOG.

Life has been a challenge these past few months.

 I have caught up to April 6th.

Enjoy.

My Faith Looks Up To Thee

 

Pastor Linda finished her series with Titus 3

Saved in Order to Do Good

3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law,because these are unprofitable and useless. 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

Final Remarks

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.

15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.

Grace be with you all.

Sorry for the delay.

 

 

 

The weekly Blog post of the Sunday Service will be delayed

until Monday evening, Eastern Daylight Time.

Read Colossians 2:1-23 to be prepared for pastor Linda's sermon. 

My Sunday Service Posting ....

.... will be delayed until Monday evening. 

 I will not be at Thurmont Church of the Brethren on Sunday morning, 

so I will not be able to post the Sunday church service until Monday evening. 

I am sorry for the delay, but I will be spending time with family. 

Please come back  to this blog on Monday evening.

Have a blessed weekend.
