STANDING STONE BIBLE

WEEKLY

  • The message Sunday, before partaking in communion, walked through the biblical story of redemption—from God’s promises to Abraham and King David to the prophetic portrait of the Messiah in Isaiah 53. Rather than a conquering warrior, the promised Savior is revealed as a suffering servant who willingly bore our sin, absorbed God’s wrath, and brought reconciliation through His sacrifice. His death was both substitutionary and intentional, fulfilling God’s plan to redeem is as a broken people. Communion is not only a solemn remembrance of Christ’s suffering, but also a celebration of a great exchange: our sin placed on Christ and His righteousness given to us. Through His wounds, we receive forgiveness, healing, and restored relationship with God.

  • Artemis II splashed down Friday night.  The men got to see this live in the shed.   Victor Glover, the pilot, is Christian and reflected much on the beauty of creation as he experienced it from that perspective.  His words to NASA command as they got close to the farthest point from earth, as communications were about to go silent:  "As we get close to the nearest point to the moon and farthest point from Earth, as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos, I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth, and that's love...  Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all you are... and he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it. And that is to love your neighbor as yourself."  

Also, notes from a talk he gave at church a few years ago:  “No matter how long we’ve been in this, whether you’re a preacher, an elder, or a deacon, brand new in your faith walk, we all need to be growing. We have a sinful nature, and we need Jesus... Jesus is that bridge that spans sin and gives us a chance of going to heaven.”

May Captain Glover be bold in sharing Jesus these days!

Here are the highlights of classes and events THIS week

The Living Room - This monthly coffee social is for drawing people to the gospel.  Often the first step is a relationship with believers.  This is an opportunity to invite a friend or, perhaps, an acquaintance out for a cup of coffee to hangout, listen to music, and maybe play a game or two.   This is at Turtle Doves here in Gretna from 6:30 to 9:30pm.  If you haven't attended yet, now is your chance!  

Men's Breakfast - The monthly men's breakfast is this Saturday!    Join us at 7:30 am for some grub!   Great opportunity to give a guy  you know a free breakfast.   There is also an early Bible study at 6:30am... come to both if you can.
