Feasting as One People (LD 39; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 17)
The sacraments are visible signs and seals of God’s gospel promises. Explore how Baptism and the Lord’s Supper assure believers of Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice, nourish the soul by the Holy Spirit, and call the covenant community to humble, united fellowship in Christ.
Clean or Unclean Children? (1 Corinthians 7:14; LD 27)
Baptism does not ultimately point us to water or to ourselves. It points us to Christ and the promises of his covenant. In this message, we consider infant baptism, 1 Corinthians 7:14, the place of children in the covenant community, and the comfort and warning found in the sacrament.
The Gospel Advances: Embracing the Ordinary (Acts 8:26-40)
We are easily tempted to measure God's presence by visible success, large crowds, and obvious strategy. Yet in Acts 8, the Holy Spirit redirects Philip away from a thriving ministry in Samaria to an isolated desert road to meet a single seeker. This message shows how God uses unlikely places, ordinary preaching, and faithful obedience to accomplish His extraordinary redemptive purposes.
