Morning Service – Ephesians 2 (esp. verse 18) – “Approaching the Triune God”

Many religions have a god but they aren’t triune in nature. True religion begins and ends with Christ.

To approach the Triune God:

1. Through Christ

2. In the Spirit

3. To the Father

Summary

One God exists in three persons.

We pray knowing He hears; live each day knowing He cares.

A Christian: One who lives by faith on God.

Evening Service – Genesis 37 – “The firstborn of God’s family”

Journal

Up at about 7:15, dressed and put away our sleeping bags into the van, and had breakfast. We then did our QT and then had about an hour to wait before the beginning of the morning service at 10:30. we had a good sermon on the trinity and then had a lunch provided by the church starting at 12. As always the food was very good and I enjoyed the fellowship with the people there. We stayed at the church after helping clean up and spent the afternoon playing duck duck goose, I never, and other games. Then we had dinner and got ready for the evening service starting at 6. We sang 2 Psalms in the middle and after the evening service we were invited over to the Bleckstrand’s house and were there till about 9:30 playing Bible schrades, eating tacos and ice cream, fellowshipping and Mr. Beckstrand gave a little talk or challenge from Prov 3:5-6 and Ps 119:105. He gave 3 questions we all will have to answer in the next 10 years (the decade of decision - ~15-~25) 1 who will we serve, 2 who will be our mate (if any), 3 what will be our mission. We then went back to the church and went to bed.
