September 8, 2017: This Week – Safe Church Review & more!

Published by mark mohrlang on

Sunday, September 10
  Scripture: Romans 14:7–8 & Philippians 1:20-26

Question: What is our only hope in life and death?
Answer:That we are not our own but belong, body and soul, both in life and death, to God and to our Savior Jesus Christ.

Listen to last week’s sermon HERE

  Children’s Ministry
    Hymn of the Month –  Come Thou Fount

    Preschool lesson: God takes care of Joseph
    K-1st lesson: Baby Moses

  Full Life Discipleship
Sundays at 9am in the Taproot Lobby
Weekly readings from the Renovare Devotional Classic
 Sept. 10 – E. Stanley Jones – The Habit of Reading the Bible Daily
Further questions for reflection:

  • The Heidelberg version of this question speaks of comfort – When do you seek comfort?
  • Where do you find comfort?  Where do you seek comfort that doesn’t actually comfort?
  • Is it comforting to you that you are “not your own?”  Why or why not?
  • What do you think it means to “live for the Lord”? How does someone do that?
  • What do you think it means that we “belong to God”? How does that give us hope?
  • How do you think people have hope? What about when they have really hard days? What about when they think about death?
