LWMS Fall Hearts in Motion Conference
The LWMS Freedom Circuit is hosting their Fall Hearts in Motion Conference at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Long Valley, NJ on Saturday, October 21 from 9-3pm. Our speaker will be Madelyne Ortiz who will give a presentation about a recent Mission Trip to Puerto Rico. If you have interest in going, please speak with Debbie Giovinazzo.
Wednesday Evening Bible Study
We will continue or study of Mark tomorrow Wednesday, October 4 at 7:00pm. We will look at Mark 4 where Jesus begins to teach in parables. We will consider why he begins teaching in parables and what these parables are supposed to teach us. We will be studying the Gospel of Mark. Mark gets to the point in his book when he wrote in the first verse, “The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.” That’s the last time he’ll give you his opinion of Jesus. He will show you what Jesus did. Mark includes more of Jesus’ miracles than the other gospel writers. He shows you that Jesus is on the move from Galilee to Jerusalem where he will die and rise again. He lets you watch Jesus and listen to him so that you can experience him for yourself. Mark shares these precious memories of Jesus, so that you too can be drawn into his story and share in his joy.
Sunday Morning Bible Study
The beginning of something is important. That is especially true when it comes to the Bible. Genesis is foundational to the whole Bible, and to every human life. Genesis tells us who God is, who we are, how things went wrong, and the plan that God has put in place to return the earth to the way it was meant to be.
Upcoming Sunday
Our God is glorious and all powerful and he will use his power–the same power which enables him to bring all things under his control–to transform us to be like his glory. This is the goal to which God has called us to and this is the goal to which he will bring us. Because we know our future is secure with God, today we live up to this coming glory.
