Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for us, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though we have not seen him, we love him. Though we do not now see him, we believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of our faith, the salvation of our souls. – 1 Peter 1:3-9
This Sunday, Robert Greene will be continuing in our sermon series based on the Nicene Creed entitled The Real God for the Real World. He will be preaching on The community of the Spirit for a lonely world. If you missed last weeks sermon on The Life of the Spirit for a Powerless World, you can listen to it here.
Here are the songs that we will sing together this week:
- A Mighty Fortress Is Our God by Frederick Hedge and Martin Luther. This is our last Partnering to Remember: Hymn. You can download a FREE recording of the hymn at Redemption Hill Music. This week we will be focusing on Verse 3:
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God has willed His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
See you Sunday!
