I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and our of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 2 Timothy 4:1-2
The second of our two Sunday morning services is one that many would find more familiar. It involves worshiping together in song for about 10 minutes with a mix of traditional hymns and contemporary choruses. A few minutes are allocated for a timely update on the ministry of one of the missionaries we financially support and pray for regularly. The remainder of the service is devoted to the preaching of God’s Word.
A distinctive aspect of this meeting is that that we enlist a variety of men to preach, many of whom are from our own congregation. These men have previously demonstrated a strong relationship with the Lord and a mature understanding of the Scriptures.
After the missionary update is given, younger children exit to their Sunday school classes. A nursery is staffed throughout the entire service.
