Saved - by grace

This past week, by the Lord's grace, the congregation here was blessed with another infant baptism.  Another soul was added to the community of believers.  Through the blessed water of baptism, the water connected with the Word, faith was given to this baby.  The promise is that the Holy Spirit has entered into his heart to give him forgiveness, faith and eternal life.

What blessings God promises to us in His Word.  In His grace and mercy, God has given us His Word, faithful pastors who teach us that Word and Christian family and friends that encourage and counsel us according to that Word.










But what happens when hearts rebel against what God says in His Word?  What is the result when we disobey God's commands?  "Can the pot say to the potter, 'He knows nothing'?" (Is. 29:16) 

"When I called, no one answered, when I spoke no one listened.  They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me." (Is. 66:4)

"When I called, they did not listen, so when they called, I would not listen, says the Lord Almighty." (Zach. 7:13)

Pray with us that by God's grace, hearts that are rebelling against God's clear Word would repent, receive the refreshing waters of forgiveness and would rest in the peace the Holy Spirit brings.
