Good evening, folks, thanks for joining me again to open God’s Word together. This evening, it is my pleasure to continue in our study of the nature and practice of the Church. In our first week, we explored the Majesty of the Church, and saw that it flows out of the majesty of God Himself,…
The Sermon today is from Luke 22:1-13 and Luke starts out this chapter by telling us that it was the time of Passover in Jerusalem…and the multitudes of Jewish people there, were preparing for the Feast of Unleavened Bread…It was also called “Yahweh’s Passover”, because of what Yahweh had instructed the Israelites to do back…
Last week, in our first week of exploring the nature and practice of the Church, we spent our time together looking at the Majesty of the Church and, while we often can feel fairly “un-majestic”, we saw that our majesty is rooted in God’s view of us… not in our own. In His calling us…

They could be referred…
