“… inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
In the upcoming service on June 11th, 2023, we will be having one service at 10am. The sermon is provided to us by our pastor, Dr. Rod Mullen, that focuses on the teachings from Genesis 18: 1-15 & 21:1-7 and Matthew 9:35 – 10:8. The Lord promises Sarah that she will bear a son. That promise has its roots in God’s promise to Abraham, “I will make of you a great nation,” made at the time of Abraham’s call, a promise that God repeated twice. God further promised Abraham that Sarah would have a son and would give rise to nations —a promise so far-fetched that Abraham fell on his face laughing at the thought. Abraham’s hospitality to the three men contrasts dramatically with the rude inhospitality that two of them will soon experience in Sodom. In Matthew 9:35-10:8, Jesus speaks about His love for humanity and how important it is to show love to others. He encourages His followers to always do good deeds and to love one another. This is a powerful message that can help us to connect with others and build relationships that are positive and lasting.
