EVENING WORSHIP SERVICE
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." – 2 Corinthians 4:8-9  

Responsive Reading of Psalm 90
Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:1-18
Text: 2 Corinthians 4:8, 9
Sermon: “Struck Down, But Not Destroyed”

I. The Bible warns us that there are many troubles in life
(Job 5:6-7; Psalm 90:10; John 16:33).
These troubles include:
1) Being hard pressed – afflicted (8a)
2) Being perplexed (8b)
3) Being persecuted (9a)
4) Being struck down (9b)

II. How we are to persevere amid troubles:
1) By saving faith in Christ (13)
2) By the knowledge of Jesus’ resurrection (14) and our identity
with Him in life and in death (10-11)
3) By considering that our troubles are light and momentary
compared to the eternal glory for all who, by God’s grace, have
saving faith in Jesus Christ alone (17-18)

             --------------------------------

See you on the Lord's day!
May the Lord bless and care for each of you and your family members.

Please pray that all would be done to the glory of the Lord and for our good. Pray for strength 

May our kind and strong God bless and keep each of you toward the Lord's day upcoming.

 Please pray that each ear will be open, all hearts soft to receive, and our hands and feet and mouths ready to respond to all our God tells us. 

​

---------------
May you have a fruitful day and a joy about returning to the house of the Lord!
 

It will be a blessing to see you in church. Let's pray that the Lord is glorified in our gathering together and we each are edified in Christian truth​

May each of you know His great mercy!

 

May the Lord receive the honor and glory from everything we do.
 

May the Lord richly bless each of you as you prepare for the Lord's day.

--------------

Please be much in prayer for worship on the Lord's day

There is no better place to be on Sunday!
