Pastor's Sermon Posted
Pastor Watt's Sermon for Sunday, July 2nd has been posted on his sermon website. You can read it by clicking here.
The text is Psalm 42:1
As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. (Psalm 42:1, ESV)
From the sermon...
Today, a few days before the 4th is a good time to take about the wonderful gift of religious freedom we’ve been given through our God, in this country.
For some Christians worshipping Jesus Christ is a matter of life and death. But for us, actually it means even more than that. You see, all eternity hangs in the balance. It’s not just a mater of life and death; it’s a matter of everlasting life and everlasting death. Through His presence here today, God gives us life and life to the full. Through God’s Word and the Sacrament God puts Jesus into our lives in a way that gives us much more than worldly freedom. He is the way the truth and the life. Through Word and water, bread and wine he enters our lives and we are changed, we are set free from sin and death.
