THE SERMON TITLE this morning is Know These Things. We live in tumultuous times. The nations are unsettled. There is deepening oppression in China. North Korea continues to act irrationally. The entire Middle East pulsates with hatred. In the Americas, no one can figure who belongs where. And Europe is a basket case. Things were no better in the first century. Therefore, as God sends a message to seven particular churches, He grounds them about matters that must be known. This concerns the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. People today still need to know these foundational truths about Jesus.
NEXT SUNDAY is World Communion Sunday. Leidy’s Church will include the Lord’s Supper in our worship service.
THE ISSUES & ANSWERS SCHEDULE:
- Today – Steve Radcliff
- Oct. 6 – Dave Reich
- Oct. 13 – Denny Barger
