THIS WEEK’S CALENDAR
~ Sermon Notes ~
Through the Lord’s Supper, Jesus comes to us and grants us His eternal gifts! As we prepare to receive the Lord’s Supper, God’s Word encourages us to examine ourselves. The following questions can help you as you prepare to receive the Lord and His gifts: 1) Do you believe that you are a sinner whose hope for eternal life comes from
Christ alone? Romans 3:23-24 2) Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son and your Savior? Matt. 16:15-17 3) Do you believe that Jesus is present in this sacred meal to grant His forgiveness?
Matthew 26:26-28 4) Do you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, desire to live a godly life in response to
the Lord’s grace and goodness? Romans 12:1-2
Prepare for the Lord’s Supper
Driving the Word Home
Isaiah 42:1-9 Romans 6:1-11 Matthew 3:13-17
January 14 and January 15, 2017
Rev. Dr. Bob Roegner
“United with Christ”
Luke 8:26-39 1 Kings 19:19-21 Luke 9:57-62 Isaiah 60:1-6 Ephesians 3:1-12 Matthew 2:1-12
This weekend, we join Jesus for His baptism
in the Jordan River.
And as we celebrate His baptism, we also celebrate ours, because through our baptism, we are united with Christ!
Not only that, through baptism, we are united with
others, all throughout the world!
United in Christ
Isaiah 42:1-9 Romans 6:1-11 Matthew 4:12-25
