Brothers and sisters,
Happy Monday to all! We worshipped the true and living God who alone deserves from all living creatures praise and worship. We began our journey through the letter to the Hebrews by looking at an overview of the book and its main themes. We saw so clearly that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, is greater than any created being or any created thing. Christ Jesus is greater than all including angels, prophets, and priests. Christ is greater than the old covenant and any other religion. Christ is the final and full provider for the salvation of the world. Because Jesus is greater than anyone or anything else, no force in all the universe should hinder us from receiving the forgiveness Jesus has provided and spending our lives following Him.
We will again meet in the parking lot next Sunday, July 5, 2020 at 9:00 AM. We will be observing the Lord’s Supper during our time of worship. We will provide individually wrapped juice and wafers for all celebrating with us. For those of you who cannot join us physically, we encourage you to watch the livestream or the recorded video and get some crackers and juice and join with us virtually in celebrating the Lord’s Supper. We also want you to know how much we miss you and look forward to when you will be able to worship with us physically.
We began meeting for prayer time Sunday night’s at 6:30 PM in our parking lot. We had a wonderful time last night praying. We hope maybe some more of you will join us in the future.
I want to recommend a website for those of you with children or grandchildren who are looking for resources to teach them of Jesus’ love and God’s truth. The website is the work of one of my lifetime friends, Charlie Bancroft. It is called Valued by God (https://www.valuedbygod.com/) and it reaches out to children and to those with special needs. It has all kinds of resources to help children know the love of Jesus and understand His ways. You can also download the app for your phone or tablet.
Remember to keep praying continually for each other.
Love being your pastor!
Bob Ray, Pastor, East Madison Baptist Church
