This Week's Sermon Passage

Is is lawful to heal on the Sabbath?

Luke 13:10-17

English Standard Version (ESV)

 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your disability." And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day." Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?" As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.

Luke 14:1-6

English Standard Version (ESV)

 One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully. And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?" But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. And he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?" And they could not reply to these things.

Sunday May 15, Luke 7:36-50

Here is the text for this Sunday's sermon, Life vs Religion Part 14.


A Sinful Woman Forgiven
36 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. 37 And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”
41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

According to the request by a unified leadership body, there will be a Special Meeting for members following our fellowship time on April 17, 2011, at 12:00pm (noon) in the auditorium of the church.  The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss and inform the congregation of the direction the leadership sees the Lord leading the church in the upcoming nine months.  Topics of discussion: the PSBC constitution and bylaws, the PSBC statement of faith, church unity, church leadership and church discipline.  If you have any questions or suggestions of material to be discussed at the meeting, please talk with Jeremy, Herb or Paul.

Another men's breakfast occurred on Saturday and we had a small group but a big time.

Ray Lammott took the opportunity to share from the Word a short challenge to our hearts.

After breakfast discussion of the Word of God.  This is what the Men's Breakfast is really about.

Audio and Sermon Notes

Coming Soon!!  - Hopefully by the end of the week we'll have links posted here for the audio files and sermon notes for our Sunday Worship time as well as our evening study, "The Sufficiency of the Scriptures About the Local Church."  We are searching the scriptures to answer questions like, "What is the church to be and do?"  "How are we to worship?"  "Should we have plurality of leadership?"  "What is salvation?"  If you would like answers to these questions from the Bible, come out on Sunday evening at 6PM or check back here for the audio links later this week!

Men's Breakfast

This morning was our irregularly scheduled Men's Breakfast and Volunteer Work Day. Breakfast was good, our time together was encouraging and our study of God's Word was uplifting. If you missed it, you can join us on March 26th for our next regularly scheduled Men's Breakfast and Volunteer Work Day. (If you come for breakfast you don't have to stay to work.) Coffee is always on by 7am, breakfast will be served at 7:30.

Here are some photos of the morning.

Jonas couldn't get enough of the table hockey game. Everyone was challenged to play.

The project for the morning was to clean out one of the old Sunday School rooms and make it into an office/copy room. As you can see, Ed has found some good stuff among the junk.

Here's the finished product, for today anyway. Good job men! Maybe later we can think about painting the room? For now, we have all our copy supplies in one place, organized and ready to use.

If you would like to be involved in one of our next projects or in our next Volunteer Work Day, it is as simple as letting Ray Lammott or Glen Patterson know of your desire to be used in this way.

Daylight Savings Time

Don't Forget!  Tonight we change the clocks - spring ahead.  At 2am the official Daylight Savings Time begins here in the US, we mover our clock ahead one hour.  That's right, we lose an hour of sleep tonight.  If you forget to change your clocks, then tomorrow morning you will arrive at the church one hour late.  See you tomorrow!
