My dear sheep, this week we are having a special service in the morning. The elders decided to have a liturgical teaching service. We thought it might be helpful to explain the different elements of worship and have a sermon related to the regulative principle. For this reason, the service will be longer than usual, with much more explanation, and the sermon will be a bit shorter than you are used to. In the evening, we will continue with our series on Hebrews 11, looking at the faith of Rahab. I look forward to seeing you all in the morning (DV)!
Morning Sermon
Title: Traditions and Commandments
Text: Mark 17:1-13

Westminster Confession 21.1, "The light of nature sheweth that there is a God, who hath lordship and sovereignty over all, is good, and doth good unto all, and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served, with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with all the might. But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by Himself, and so limited by His own revealed will, that He may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the Holy Scripture."
Evening Sermon

Matthew Henry, "She was a harlot, and lived in a way of sin; she was not only a keeper of a public house, but a common woman of the town, and yet she believed that the greatness of sin, if truly repented of, shall be no bar to the pardoning mercy of God. Christ has saved the chief of sinners. Where sin has abounded, grace has super-abounded."
