Looking Forward, December 6, 2009

J.D. Shaw on December 3, 2009

This Sunday we'll begin a new series of sermons from the gospel of Luke, looking specifically at the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth from Luke 1, as we prepare for Christmas.  Zechariah and Elizabeth pray for a son, and in verses 5-25 we read where Zechariah is told by an angel that their prayer had been heard.  We can learn a lot about prayer from that particular prayer, and hopefully we will during the sermon Sunday morning.  Since it is the Christmas season, Brian (who has been sick all week - keep him in your prayers, though thankfully he feels better today) has chosen some Christmas hymn favorites, and we'll sing those Sunday as well.

Following the sermon, as it is the first Sunday of the month, we'll come to the Lord's table and take the Lord's Supper.

Sunday night we will have a Q&A session, where I'll try and answer questions about women in the church, what the Bible means when we read in 2 Corinthians 6 about being unequally yoked, and Dave Ramsey (!).  Hope to see you there.
