August 6 Worship & Bible Class

This Sunday we will read Luke 16:1-13 and hear the curious story of a manager who was fired for misappropriating his master’s funds (The Parable of the Dishonest Manager). We will learn about the gifts and treasures, both physical and spiritual, that He has richly entrusted to us. You may prepare by reading the Propers of the day.

Old Testament: Proverbs 16:1-9

Psalm: Psalm 51:1-12

Epistle: 1 Corinthians 10:6-13

Gospel: Luke 16:1-9

This Sunday in Adult Bible Class, we will study Romans chapter 5, beginning with verse 12. As Paul used the Old Testament examples of Abraham and David to support his teaching about justification being by faith and not by the works of the law, now Paul argues the purpose of the Law of Moses and how death came into the world through Adam. Join us for Paul’s whirlwind tour of the Old Testament persons and their place in salvation history!
