Wisdom leads on the path of everlasting life, therefore, take comfort in life and in death, in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Psalter selection: 91 A

The question isn't "what" you fear, but whom.

We are accepted in the Beloved, united to Christ, in Him.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Therefore, store up treasure in heaven, and steward your money.

This session explores the theological connection between worship and Christian discipleship, arguing that worship is a vital means of grace for spiritual growth. It defines worship as a covenant renewal where the church engages in a dialogue with God, moving from the fear of the Old Covenant to the confidence of the New Covenant mediated by Jesus Christ. Pastor Parnell emphasizes that believers are active participants rather than passive spectators, with God as the primary audience of their praise. Key elements such as prayer, confession, and assurance of forgiveness are presented as responses to God's initiative, fostering a deeper affection for Christ. The session concludes with practical exhortations to attend in person, prepare spiritually, and encourage one another in mutual edification.

You cannot build a house, protect a city, or raise a family unless God is in it. And these simple examples stand for the greatest trust of all - trust in Christ for salvation. Therefore, receive and rest in Jesus for your salvation.

God has given you a precious gift of salvation, therefore share the faith that is in you, the love you've experienced, and the truth you know.

"Out of gratitude to the Lord for what he's done for us, we should freely and abundantly give. We should remember the poor." (Peter Smith,_Remember the Poor_)

This session explores the goal of discipleship as becoming conformed to the image of Christ through a relational approach to spiritual disciplines. Pastor Parnell emphasizes evaluating one's current spiritual state and setting intentional goals for growth in grace. Practical advice is provided on establishing consistent times and places for Bible reading while avoiding mechanical or legalistic habits. Various Bible reading plans are suggested to help believers engage with Scripture effectively according to their available time and maturity level. The message concludes by encouraging accountability and the use of simple study methods to deepen understanding and application of God's Word.

Disciple your own heart and soul to respond to the glory of God by honoring Him in public worship.
