LifeLight Bible Study: Matthew Part 1

Matthew Part 1 meets Wednesdays (September 13 thru November 8), 6:45-8:15 p.m., in the Bethany Room. Matthew Part 1 covers the first 13 chapters of Matthew. As you progress through this nine session study, you will deepen your understanding of who Jesus is, and what He has done for you.

As we gather today for worship, we will see again that we can do nothing good. We can do nothing to deliver ourselves unless the Lord God causes/enables us to do it. Lutheran theology! While we are given laws, statutes, commands, callings from God, it is God who causes/enables us to carry them out by virtue of having caused us to be…

Our text (Rom 12:9–21) invites Christians not only to “love one another” (v 10). These words also encourage us to “bless those who persecute you” (v 14). The passage includes the memorably vivid illustration of merciful kindness that “heaps burning coals on your enemy’s head” (v 20). May Jesus bless us to love as He loves. We welcome you as you worship…

Talk of rocks forms the obvious connection between the Gospel and the Old Testament Reading (Is 51:1–6), our text. Rocks, of course, serve as illustration and even sacred location (think mountains) throughout Scripture. The Old Testament lesson references the same Israelite covenant history that lies behind the Epistle. All three readings have a hopeful forward momentum, letting go of the old that…

The Psalm for this Sunday has an inclusive view regarding the spiritual kingdom of God, showing an ardent desire that all peoples worship the Lord: “Let all the peoples praise You” (Ps 67:3), “let the nations be glad” (67:4), “let all the ends of the earth fear Him” (67:7). We welcome all who worship with us today! Link to Service video on…

Today we welcome Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Robinson as he speaks to us about the faithfulness of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. The Savior who pursues us. The Savior that did not let go of Peter will never let go of us either. We pray that you are blessed as we worship together today. Link to Service video on Vimeo Link to service…

In today’s text from Romans 9, Paul wrestles with the unbelief of Israel, whom he loves so dearly. This, for Paul, may be the ultimate test of his doxology—that we trust God when we do not fully understand His ways—but Paul notes that God’s actions are always gracious, working toward salvation, whether received in faith or rejected in unbelief. We welcome everyone…

We welcome you today for Lay Ministry Sunday. Worship will be directed by the elders as we celebrate our Lord, Jesus Christ, through the testimonies of 3 members of our church family. Please pray with and for them as they speak of their life in Christ. Link to Service video on Vimeo Link to service bulletin
