Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
This coming Lord’s Day we will be privileged to hear Dr. Matthew Elliott preach God’s Word from 1 Timothy 1:15-17. You will likely remember the sweet sound of the beautiful benediction contained in verse 17, as well as Paul’s personal confession that he is the foremost of all sinners in verse 15. I know we will also be blessed and enriched by Matthew’s message, and please lift him to our Lord in fervent prayer as he delivers God’s Word to us.
It will also be our great honor to have Noah and Karleigh Stephens with us this Sunday morning. As you know, they serve the Lord as our PCA missionaries to Thailand. Noah will be giving us a report on their work among the people of Thailand during our Worship time, and please be sure to meet them both before and after our service.
I look forward to teaching our Adult Sunday School class and leading our Worship and Communion this Lord’s Day!
May our Father bless you all with a restful weekend, and I love you dearly!
Mike
