Happy Thursday afternoon.
This weekend we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper in all of our worship services. I will also be preaching on the Lord’s Supper as the second sermon in our “Do This” series. It’s interesting that God gives the church the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper to administer, celebrate, and steward. As I studied our passage for Sunday (Mark 14:12-26) I found an increasing gratitude for the work of Christ in his death and its implication for me and you and all who would believe. I can’t wait to worship and dive into this Text on Sunday.
Please join me in praying for 45 High School students and their leaders from Bay Area Church who will leave for Boston on Saturday to serve our partner churches in that region. Pray for their strength, wisdom, and joy as they serve diligently a people in desperate need of the gospel but profoundly blind to the need. I am so proud of our ministry in the Northeast and how God uses the work of our hands and feet each time we send a team. Cover them in prayer, please.
Hats off to all of our NASA friends as our community and our country celebrates the Apollo 11 lunar landing. What an exciting moment in history. Just thinking about it makes me anticipate the future in regards to space exploration. To all of you who work in such a noteworthy field, please know, God gave you the mind and the opportunity. He placed you where you are on purpose. Whatever the next mission, always be on mission for the Sovereign King of the Universe who created the moons and planets we hope to set our feet upon. Science and God, in my opinion, are not separable. Make it known.
I love you each.
Pastor Brian
