Words are so easy to utter, so impossible to reclaim, so capable of creating joy or grief. And they are so crucial that Jesus tells His followers, “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

This week at Providence we’ll worship with song, prayer, and communion and study Matthew 12:30-37 “Take Care How You Speak ” to decipher what role our words play in the matter of eternity. Providence worship service is at 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 pm. We are located at 1510 Madison Street. We welcome you to attend or view the morning service livestream:

What a contrast is presented in Matthew 12! The Pharisees mutter that Jesus has power to cast out demons because He must be the prince of demons. After destroying their accusation with logic, He presents Himself as the personification of the Kingdom of God, which has come upon us.

This week at Providence we’ll worship with song, prayer, and communion and study Matthew 12:22-31 “The Kingdom of God has Come Upon You”

Providence worship service is at 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 pm. We are located at 1510 Madison Street. We welcome you to attend or view the morning service livestream:

The writer of Matthew must have been steeped in the Law and the Prophets. He understood that Jesus had been sent to fulfill both its legal requirements and the prophesies.
He was the only One who could brings “justice to victory“
In Whose “name the Gentiles will hope,’ and remarkably and mercifully we learn that “a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench”

This week at Providence we’ll worship with song, prayer, and communion. We'll rejoice in the astonishing way Jesus brings about salvation as we study Matthew 12:15-21: “A Bruised Reed and a Smoldering Wick.” Providence worship service is at 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 pm. We are located at 1510 Madison Street. We welcome you to attend or view the morning service livestream:

When the church leaders who were always on the lookout for violations of the law saw Jesus and his disciples ‘violating’ the Sabbath, they pounced. They accused Him of unlawful behavior.
His response? He defended His disciples using examples from the law.
On what basis? The One who gave the law interprets it correctly.
The One who created the Sabbath is Lord of the Sabbath.
The ultimate sacrifice for sin says “I desire mercy, not sacrifice” from those who have received mercy.
Their response? They plotted how they might kill Him.

This week at Providence we’ll worship with song, prayer, and communion and rejoice in the assurance found in Matthew 12:1-14. “The Lord of the Sabbath.” Providence worship service is at 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 pm. We are located at 1510 Madison Street. We welcome you to attend or view the morning service livestream:
