Burden & Blessing

Pastor Ben Libby joins Pastor Sam Rodebaugh to study the Old Testament book of the Prophet Haggai. Haggai had the changeling task of prophesying to the people of Judah who had just come back from the exile in Babylon. He was sent with the job of taking these people to task over their attitude of apathy and inadequacy, and to get them to “consider their ways”. They needed to rebuild God’s Temple. While this was a seemingly daunting task, God assures them that He was with them, and they could expect blessings. God does promise earthly blessing to His believers, but even more powerful was the ultimate blessing that He was going to give. He would shake heaven and earth and send forth “The Desire of Nations” (Jesus Christ), and He would fill this new temple with His presence. Join us to learn more about the book of Haggai and the blessings that are promised to His believers!

In another word which relates to worship and the worship service, Pastor Nathanael Mayhew discusses the word “communion” and what it means from 1 Corinthians 10:16-17. Communion is a word that is often used as a synonym for the “Lord’s Supper” – the sacrament instituted by Christ before His crucifixion. From these words of Paul we will discuss the Scriptural foundation for the teaching of the “Real Presence” of Christ’s body and blood in and with the bread and the wine, as well as the Scriptural foundation for the practice of Closed Communion. This a very fitting title for this Sacrament and very important section of Scripture as well. Join us for this valuable study!

The Song of Solomon, or the Song of Songs, is a poetical book found in the Old Testament. It describes the love that a husband has for his wife, and the corresponding love the wife has for her husband. It is very descriptive and emotional. At the center of any marriage should be Christ and His love. Our love is based on His love for the church. Pastors Joe Naumann and Ben Libby take us through this book, the topic of what real love is, and how we can emulate that love in our marriages and relationships with each other.
