We are still planning on having service tomorrow at 11AM for whoever is able to make it to the building. Please be advised that the only accessible entrance is the north parking lot (the one not connected to the fellowship hall). The other parking lot is still blocked by ice. Also, we will not have a fellowship meal this week, because the pathway to the fellowship hall is still covered in ice as well. We are planning on live-streaming for anyone not able to get out.

We are canceling services tomorrow in an abundance of caution. Please stay safe and warm! Pastor Jimbo will do a livestream for the sermon, provided he still has power.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to meet tomorrow morning. Our parking lot is still covered in ice and snow, and we do not want anyone to get hurt in the hazardous conditions.

Due to the weather forecast, we will not be having services tomorrow. May the Lord bless you, and draw near to you tomorrow as you draw near to him!

Due to inclement weather that is expected to impact Hardin County, KY, tonight and into tomorrow morning and the distances that many within our congregation drive, we have decided to be safe. Stay warm and the Lord willing we will meet for our future planned meetings this coming week.

Lord's Day 11/24/24 Sermon Text:

“For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” (Hebrews 2:5-10)

Of the Life of Faith

While yet in this mortal life and in this fallen world, all believers are in a continual warfare and combat against sin, self, the world, and the devil; and are liable to all manner of afflictions, tribulations and persecutions, being predestined and appointed thereunto, and whatsoever the believer possess or enjoys of God spiritually, is by faith alone; and outward and temporal things are lawfully enjoyed through ordinary use by them who have no faith.

Rom. 7:23,24; Eph. 6:10,11, etc.; Heb. 2:9,10, 2 Tim. 3:12; Rom. 8:29; 1 Thess. 3:3; Gal. 2:19,20; 2 Cor. 5:7; Deut. 2:5.

The only strength by which the redeemed people of God are enabled to encounter all oppositions and trials of this mortal life, is only by Jesus Christ, who is the captain of their salvation, being made perfect through sufferings; who has engaged His faithfulness and strength to assist them in all their afflictions, and to uphold them in all their temptations, and to preserve them by His power to His everlasting kingdom.

John 16:33, 15:5; Phil. 4:11, Heb. 2:9,10; 2 Tim. 4:18.

(RBC of Etown Confession of Faith)

Of Sanctification

All believers are a holy and sanctified people, and that sanctification is a spiritual grace of the new covenant, and an effect of the love of God manifested in the soul, whereby the believer presses after a heavenly and evangelical obedience to all the commands, which Christ as head and king in His new covenant hath prescribed to them.

1 Cor. 12; 1 Pet. 2:9; Eph. 1:4; 1 John 4:16; Matt. 28:20.

When it is repeated throughout Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, that “I the Lord will do it,” “The Lord will accomplish it,” or “The Lord will complete it” we are to take these words at face value. Better yet, we are to take it to be an uncompromising truth of the Gospel revealed by Christ Jesus who said “It is finished” as he gave up the ghost on the cross.
