This Sunday, May 2, we have a lot happening.
First off, we have new adult SS classes starting. Conor Eastman will be teaching Piper’s video curriculum Let The Nations Be Glad and Ron Rhoades will be walking through the Parables of Jesus.
During the AM service, I will be preaching a sermon entitled Gospel Likeness from Colossians 2:11-12. A recent journal article (for those scholarly among my readership) was on this passage. It’s entitled “Does Baptism Replace Circumcision? An Examination of the Relationship Between Circumcision and Baptism in Colossians 2:11-12.” The thrust of this message will be how we display a Gospel Likeness to Jesus in His death, burial and resurrection.
In the PM service, we continue to walk through the Old Testament looking for sightings of the Savior. And we will be looking at how God rescuing His people out of Egypt in Exodus 3 pointed to a Savior who would come and rescue us from sin.
Finally, my Men’s Theology class will discuss “What’s God Like?” Part of the homework included reading Kevin DeYoung’s post The Simplicity of God and answering the question, “How does this affect the way you think about God?”
It looks to be a full day, then. Prepare your heart in prayer, asking God to be our strong tower that the righteous run to and are safe (Proverbs 18:10).
