This Sunday we are going to start going through 2 Thessalonians with a consideration of a few of the first verses in this letter Paul wrote to a church he loved. What are the things that a church or a believer can do to make church leaders rejoice every time that church or that believer comes to mind?

This week we wrap up our series on being disciples in the flesh, people who love God with our whole body. And we will consider the hard things we do for and with our bodies for the sake of our bodies. Exercise fits in that category along with a bunch of other difficult things.

The more that machines and devices and algorithms and AI can do for us, the more frivolous it feels to devote time and energy to producing things by hand. But we are made in the image of a creator God and our incarnational mandate is productive. It is wise and worshipful to produce things even if a machine could do it better in half the time.

Dr. Eastlack will be preaching on the “Communion of the Saints” that we reference when we recite the Apostle’s Creed. He will be using Ephesians 2:11-22 to talk about the exciting fraternity we enjoy in Jesus.

This Sunday we are talking about our bodies again in this occasional “In The Flesh” series with a message on what we put on those bodies. Clothing is not a trivial topic for the people of God to consider. We all own clothing and spend a lot of time wearing it and attaching significance to it. And God has stuff to say on the topic if we’ll listen.

This Sunday we are going to start a new series on our bodies; what we put in them and on them and what we do with them. And this first message will be about food and the significance of what we ingest and how and why we do it.

This Sunday we are going to wrap up our series on Old Testament laws and how they apply to us as New Testament believers with a look at the Year of Jubilee. What does it mean for us that God built this remarkable year into the economy of his people and how can we honor the spirit of Jubilee when our own economy is not designed for it?

This Sunday we are going to carry on our series on obscure Old Testament laws and how they apply to us as New Testament believers, with a consideration of the “Cities of Refuge.”
