Community Church of Ludington

This week, at our at 9:30 a.m. worship service, Pastor Brett Spalding’s sermon topic is “Faith and Hope!” Our scriptures include Psalm 33:20-2, John 16:12-15, and Romans 5:1-11.

Synopsis: I’ve read this passage numerous times and each time I read that line; “when we were enemies with God” – it grabs hold of me and takes my breath away. Imagine yourself for a moment as an enemy of God. Imagine having to fear the wrath of God every day. Imagine a life of uncertainty and fear, one with no hope. It’s not something I want to think about much longer than we did just now. Fortunately, we don’t have to, because as the Apostle Paul writes, we have been justified by faith and therefore have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who allows us to live in Grace.

We are also recognizing our 10 college scholarship recipients today. Congratulations to all, and best wishes for your upcoming school year. See more information about this year’s recipients here.

Worship with us on Sunday, May 26 at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Brett Spalding’s sermon topic is “God’s Glory Alone.” Our scriptures include Psalm 72:17-19, Isaiah 60:1-5, Romans 11:33-36, and Revelation 1:4-8 and 7:9-12.

Synopsis: Beginning with Martin Luther, the Reformation theologians used five phrases to describe the essentials of the Christian faith. These are described as the five “Sola’s”, a Latin word meaning “alone”.

1. Sola Scriptura – Scripture alone
2. Solus Christus – Christ alone
3. Sola Fide – Faith alone
4. Sola Gratia – Grace alone
5. Soli Deo Gloria – Glory to God alone

The first four of these phrases concern our relationship with God and our salvation. Today we’ll look at the fifth phrase and the goal and plan behind our salvation.

Synopsis: In our Psalm today we hear the voice of David the Psalmist and of God. We hear a plea and lament as well as God’s rebuke. In the end though, we hear the voice of calm and peace that Jesus seeks for us to hear and know.

Synopsis: Place yourself in the position of the disciples. The natural question to ask is, what now? For three years they had followed Jesus, listened to His teachings, watched Him perform signs, and now they thought He was gone, so now what? Following some appearances to the disciples and others, Jesus tells them to wait in Jerusalem for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
