Worship: December 16th, 2012

On Sunday, December 16th, Pastor Tony preached the third sermon in a special series for Advent about God’s Gifts to us. God gives us so many memorable events and occurrences in our lives.  When viewed as gifts from God, through Christ, we can have great joy in such experiences and pleasures. These experiences are promptings to praise God. Worship services on Sunday were at 8:30 and 11:00 AM.

Q. 23. What offices doth Christ execute as our Redeemer?
A. Christ, as our Redeemer, executeth the offices of a prophet, of a priest, and of a king, both in his estate of humiliation and exaltation.
