Sixth Sunday of Easter


Hi everyone! Sorry that I'm a little late in getting a post done for the week. Today is Study Day at Grove City, which means finals start tomorrow! That means I've been busy studying (along with playing frisbee golf with the roommates at 11:00 at night, eating pizza and watching the Simpsons, etc...). Yeah, I'm hard at work!

Actually, since I'm graduating next Saturday and have the worst case of "Senioritis," I am having a terrible time finding the ambition to study. Don't worry, I'm managing: however, it's a struggle! Nonetheless, I have my sermon for Sunday done (thank you, Jesus!), so I can give a synopsis.

This week's sermon is titled, "If You Really Love Me..." The texts are mainly from John 14:23-29, and selected verses from Revelation 21 & 22. The basic point of the sermon is summed up well in the following quotation from the sermon: "And that is the power of Jesus Christ in our lives when we truly love Him: he takes our weaknesses and gives us strength to conquer them in His Name. He takes our sins and cleanses them away. He makes His presence known among us, He lives among us by His Spirit and gives us His peace. And His Spirit fills us in such a way that our love for Him leads us to obeying His commands. This is the promise not only to His apostles, but also to all those who believe in Him, love Him and obey Him."

So if you're interested, feel free to come to Bessemer Presbyterian Church at 10:45AM on Sunday. Have a blessed day!!
