Church Family,
What a great Sunday as we finished our series in the book of Psalms. Psalm 8 was a wonderful way to conclude our time mining the depths of this tremendous book. It is and will always be overwhelming to consider ourselves in light of God’s majesty. The Lord has set his glory above the heavens, yet he considers us (Ps 8:3-4). David cannot fathom that the Lord cares for us and has given us a special place in all of creation. As he reflects upon the creation account, he says, “Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet” (Ps 8:5-6). This is wonderful and should generate praise. What’s of great significance is that the New Testament applies all of this to the greatest human, Jesus (Heb 2:5-9). He alone captures these truths to their fullest extent, and because he does, he can taste death on our behalf (Heb 2:9).
New Sermon Series
As we have been announcing over the last few weeks, we will begin a new series on the book of 1 Timothy this Sunday. This book is called a Pastoral Epistle. This means that its content is about Timothy’s pastoral work he is to do in Ephesus. The aging Paul is writing to young Timothy to give him direction on how the church should function, correct doctrinal issues, establishing church leadership, etc.. I think we will find a wealth of insight to guide us to become more and more healthy. Take some time this week to familiarize yourself with this wonderful book.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Bryan
