This week’s lessons: James 2:1-18, Mark 8:27-35
Hi all!
“They love all men and are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned. They are put to death and restored to life.
They are poor, yet make many rich. They lack everything, yet they overflow in everything.
They are dishonored, and yet in their very dishonor they are glorified; they are spoken ill of and yet are justified; they are reviled but bless; they are insulted and repay the insult with honor; they do good, yet are punished as evildoers; when punished, they rejoice as if raised from the dead. They are assailed by the Jews as barbarians; they are persecuted by the Greeks; yet those who hate them are unable to give any reason for their hatred.” Letter to Diognetus
This is what it means and looks like to do gospel good. For more on the gospel good we can do, please check out last week’s sermon. Bring! gospel good — Peace (peaceotsego.org)
This week we’re going to bring our wallets. Martin Luther said, “I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.”
Look forward to hearing God’s Word with you on Sunday at 9:00 am or 10:30.
Sincerely
Pastor T
