Gospel Highlight

I was reading Aristotle this week with someone. We talked about real greatness - magnanimity. Aristotle asks, who is the truly great person? We listed a few examples. Washington, Lincoln, or Roosevelt. What about Jesus, we said? He thought more about what was done for him than anyone else. 

That is the gospel message we love! 

Prayer request

This week we are praying for our students as the finish their year of studies of the Lord's word. 

"Dear Lord, you reveal yourself in times and seasons so that your people can live a story of grace. Thank you for your past saving work - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Josiah, Hezekiah, and so many more. Teach your students these truths so that they know you. Show yourself to them so that they can follow you. 

"In Jesus' name,

Amen."

This week we also honor those who gave their life to serve us. We would also like to thank our service members listed below for the sacrifices they made for us.

Even if you won’t be able to be with us this weekend, please pray for those who have served:

Heavenly Father, as our nation pauses today to remember those in the military who have given their lives for freedoms we enjoy, we pray you would have us all look to you for strength, comfort and guidance. Be with all who serve in our Armed Forces. Bless them and their families. Grant your loving protection. Let peace prevail among all the nations, O God. Especially let your mercy rest upon our land, even as we acknowledge with thanksgiving your past goodness on this country. If it is your will, preserve the lives of the men and women in uniform as they defend our citizenry. Most of all, we pray that you would turn the hearts of all – military and civilian – to your holy Word where we find the true peace for our sinful souls that surpasses all understanding. Keep us repentant of sin. Move us to know, take hold and treasure your saving grace. In the name of Jesus, our Savior and Your beloved Son, who alone gives this peace and hope for eternity, we pray. Amen. (https://els.org/prayer-for-memorial-day/)
