II. CHURCH CONCERNS

1. Preachings

• In our Sunday School, we considered the promise of the covenant of grace which is salvation through Christ. Let us praise the Lord for His mercy that after man fell into sin, He immediately promised to send a Savior to save a people for Himself. His promise ran through redemptive history and was progressively revealed from Adam to Christ. Let us thank God for the clearer light that we have today concerning His promise. 
• In our first service, we were challenged to be vigilant against false teachers and false teachings. May we grow in our knowledge of the Word of God to avoid falling prey to them. May we not be partakers of their evil deeds by associating with them.  
• In our Lord’s Supper meditation, we were reminded that an understanding of the great forgiveness received from God leads to a great love for Jesus. May we remember the greatness of our sin and the forgiveness that we have received. May it cause us to show greater love and service to Christ.
