Have you been visiting Sovereign Grace for a while? Looking to get more involved in the life of our church? Get to know us better by attending Starting Point.
Our next seminar is this Saturday, November 19th, 9am-2pm. Lunch provided.
We hold 2 regular all-church member meeting per year. One in Fall. One in the Spring. They are designed to equip us to be faithful, fruitful members of our congregation. Last Sunday afternoon we met to discuss many important developments, some of which you will be reading about in the weeks to come. Here was the agenda:
Membership Rolls
Financial Report
Children's Ministry
Santa Ana Church Plant
Southern Baptist Convention
Congratulations Israel and Bethany.
Thank you to all who helped make their wedding beautiful.
The content and intent of the text.
Nine of our men joined our sister church in Pasadena for a Sunday evening symposium on exegetical preaching with Mike Bullmore. Mike is a gracious friend and council member with The Gospel Coalition.
He called us to commit to preaching sermons controlled by the content and intent of the text. Allow God to do what God wants to do with His words. Why? Because God wants to feed his church.
"And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord." (Deuteronomy 8:3)
