Hungarian Presbyterian Church of Wharton

Hungarian Presbyterian Church of Wharton Ministering to the faithful in the Wharton area since 1904. What is the Reformed Faith ? Sola Fide means "by faith alone". He is One being with One essence.

We are a participating Church of the Presbytery of the Highlands which is part of the Presbyterian Church (USA). The Protestant Reformation that was begun by Martin Luther in 1517 was founded on three principles which are described with the Latin terms - Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, and Sola Scriptura:

Sola Gratia means "by Grace alone". That means that people cannot earn their way into Heaven by good

works but are entirely dependent on the generosity and grace of God for it. This eliminated the value of human merits and said that God alone could affect that outcome. This refers to the human side of the above concept. Since people can not actively earn their way into heaven, this statement was necessary to describe exactly what requirement actually applies to us. It essentially says that we each must totally accept that the Lord is God, that He is the only God, and that a person recognizes His atonement as freeing mankind to be able to accept Him. When a person deeply believes that, it fulfills the human responsibility, which then encourages the Lord to provide His grace. Sola Scriptura means "by the Bible alone". Rather than trusting any human to provide information about important religious matters, that statement means to ONLY rely on what the sacred Scripture says. The Reformed faith shares common beliefs with many other Christian denominations.

- We believe in the Trinity. While God is essentially One, He exists in Three distinct persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is not three beings or individual gods with the same nature. God has eternally existed as a triune God. God, who can do all things, is all wise, all good, all just, and all merciful.

- We believe that God manifested Himself to us as Jesus the Christ, both Son of God and son of man. He was born of the Virgin Mary. He is both God and human in one person, God incarnate, and was sent be our mediator and to give us salvation.

- We believe that Jesus was crucified, died, and literally rose from the dead on the third day as He predicted. Because God cannot tolerate sin in His presence, Jesus’ death and resurrection is the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

- We believe that everything required for our salvation has been offered and communicated to us in Jesus Christ. He is the ONLY way to salvation.

- We believe that in sending the Son, God’s sole intention was to show us love and immeasurable goodness. And we believe that in giving the Son to die and raising Him from the dead, God’s sole intention was to accomplish all righteousness and secure eternal life for us.

- We believe that we are only justified by faith, not by works, and receive salvation only through the mercy of God.

- We believe that Jesus Christ has been given to us as our only advocate, and that He commands us to pray to His Father in His name alone, not through the intercession of saints.

- We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule for faith and practice. Even though humans wrote it, the Holy Spirit, by His workings and His speech, was determining the resulting Word. The human authors were carried along under His power, ensuring that the product would be free from defect.

- We believe in only two sacraments – Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These were the only sacraments Jesus personally commanded us to observe. The sacraments are pledges to us and seals of God’s grace, giving needed aid and comfort to our faith because of our weakness and immaturity. We believe that the sacraments are outward signs through which God works the truth of His spirit. At the same time we hold that their substance and power are in Jesus Christ alone, apart from Him, they are nothing.

Today's Gospel reading.

“The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn“‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother,a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. - Matthew 10:24-39.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young.

Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust— there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace.

For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone. + Lamentations 3:22-33.

Today's Gospel reading.

When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” So Jesus went with him.

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

“You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.

After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat. - Mark 5:21-43.

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home. When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. - Luke 1:39-57.

Today's Gospel reading.

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” - Matthew 28:16-20.
