Psalm 145:1-9 – “I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works.”
Our 5th Sunday lessons for April were on “Living for Today”. The selections of passages from scripture and songs for today’s lessons all stick to this theme. As noted in the first of the passages read today, we have the choice to seize the day or let the day subdue us. We also have the option of giving God the credit for live and our own, or taking it as if we control it.
We are very pleased to announce that between our assemblies, a young man from the area accepted the gospel, confessing his sins and going into the waters of baptism for the forgiveness of his sins, and the church grew by one today! Welcome Dylan!
The first gallery below are the songs and passages that were read or led in song for our first assembly. The second gallery are the slides used for Abe’s summary lesson. Audio file for lesson two below as well.
