Seeing baptisms is always encouraging!
I had a good Lord’s day, we continued a sermon series in beatitudes, looking at “blessed are those who mourn”, and particularly considering the importance of mourning over our sin, but mourning so that we turn from our sin and receive God’s comfort in Christ. I had lunch at the house of one of our trainee ministers with some others from church, so it was good to share fellowship there. At our evening service, we continued going through the Heidelberg Catechism with Lord’s Day 35, on the second commandment.
How much additional revenue does your church expect from your three new believers?
We will see exactly zero donations from these believers. They were all young and don’t have jobs.
But even if they were adults and gave zero money, I’d happily welcome them into the church.
Oh. That’s weird how their parents let them get themselves up and out of the house all on their own.
