This week's Sermon Text
Romans 5:1-11 NKJV 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Lois Davis shared the following prayer request on behalf of someone Bill and her know: "Jerry and Debbie would appreciate our prayers. Debbie has multiple health issues. Jerry works and is her caregiver. Please pray for healing, strength, and encouragement for both of them. They’re believers, but currently not part of a body." Please be in prayer for Jerry and Debbie. Kendall Heinlein would like prayer She is considering going to New York to help on the front lines for a while. She is asking for prayer for wisdom regarding if this is what the Lord wants her to do. She is asking the Lord to close the door if this is not His will for her and to give her peace in the decision regardless of what His answer might be. Please pray with and for Kendall regarding this decision. Stephanie Melton has asked for prayer for the following: "This is my aunt and uncle that I requested prayer for earlier. Prayer Request for Duke and Jeanne. They confirmed that Duke’s tumor is cancer. He will be receiving radiation/chemotherapy. He is in a lot of pain. Jeanne is overwhelmed and there are a lot of delays to treatment due to paperwork and the coronavirus. Pray that he can get some relief and treatment soon. Also pray that Jeanne can get some rest and peace of mind. Please pray that God works in this situation in both spiritual and physical ways." The following prayer request is from Susie Boeckers: "Prayer request for Kurt's little sister, Emma (she's 15). She's been having abdominal pain for weeks and finally had a CT scan today. Her appendix burst and formed an abscess around itself so she was admitted today for 5 days of IV antibiotics. They will do surgery eventually, but are hoping to treat the infection first as they worry about sepsis if they do surgery now." Please be in prayer for both of the urgent needs above. Also, remember to pray for our pastors and their families, for all others in our church body, and for the finances of the church. This is a difficult time when many have less income to cover their needs, but we know the Lord can and will meet every individual need as well as the needs of the church as a whole. We serve an amazing Father! Click here to leave a prayer request
