  • Christ and His Church

    Well, we have the privilege tonight to continue our study in the Heidelberg Catechism and particularly the place we were at and the place where we have been at for the last few weeks and will continue to be for the next few weeks, as we’re studying kind of line by line of the Apostles’…

  • The Only Hope for Guilty Sinners

    Our reading tonight from God’s word here in this evening service is Psalm 130. And then we’re also going to be reading tonight together from the Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Days 4 and 5. Since we had a weather cancellation last week, we’re taking two Lord’s Days to get back on track. But let me, first…

  • Oaks of Righteousness

    Let’s open our Bibles together to the Book of Isaiah.  Isaiah 61:1-3 is our test tonight and we’re going to especially focus upon verse 3.  Kevin mentioned this morning that our evening services for the next number of months are going to be pastor favorites and I actually picked this text not so much because…
