Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
Beginning today through June 18, Carol and I will be away on vacation. In my absence, it will be our joy to welcome two of our Presbytery’s church planters to our pulpit.
This coming Sunday June 5, Rev. Adam Venable will preach for us from Acts 16:25-34 on “The Conversion of the Philippian Jailer.” Adam is planting a PCA church in south Huntsville, having previously served as the RUF Director at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
Then on June 12, Rev. Dieter Paulson, who has planted Redeemer PCA Church Scottsboro, will be preaching from 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 on “Believing in a Big God.”
Please lift up these dear brothers in your prayers as they come to minister God’s Word to our church family.
Summer ‘Homework’
As I mentioned to you a couple of weeks ago, I will be preaching through the Epistle of Jude this summer. As we will discover, the message of this little book is a timely one for sure. I would encourage you to begin getting familiar with Jude by reading it several times in a couple of different translations of the Bible. Plus, you will also benefit from securing a good commentary. Let me suggest The Message of 2 Peter & Jude, by Dick Lucas and Christopher Green (The Bible Speaks Today Series, Leicester: Inter-Varsity Press, 1995).
Also, please continue to pray most fervently for the upcoming meeting of the General Assembly of the PCA (June 21-24 in Birmingham). Pray that our denomination will faithfully resist the temptation to compromise on the supreme authority of Holy Scripture, and will courageously uphold the ‘non-negotiables’ of the Christian faith that, as Jude says, have been “once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3).
I love you all so very much, and I always have you on my heart and in my prayers,
Mike
