Sunday Service: Christ in the faith of the "losers" - Hebrews 11:35-40

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service
to worship God together and to proclaim
His Word in Budrio.






We are glad for the Lord's provision of the main room in

At 10.30 we'll start our service continuing our series on Hebrews 11-12.
With Stefano we'll engage
with Hebrews 11:35-40 -
Christ in the faith of the "losers"!
Together we'll see the beauty of Christ, because It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

 


Matteo & Jenny will lead our children's programme
based on The Gospel Project for kids,

Serving & Celebrating with our community

This weekend there will be the 60th Mezzolara di Budrio Onion Fair.
These local events are typical in Italian rural cultural contexts and represent a time for families and friends to join together at the end of the summer. So it's common to see young families with little ones enjoying food and music together, as well as fathers and their teenage kids cooking at the BBQ and serving together at the tables.

Tonight, Sunday and Monday as church family we'll participate in various ways at this event. Six of us will serve at the tables, while others will dine at the food stand.
 

This is one of the many ways we want to serve and celebrate with our community, to make new friendships and to consolidate others, to live and share the joy of the Gospel among people!

Budrio Preaching Class

Tomorrow morning we'll have our Preaching Class meeting.
We're very excited about this opportunity to invest in the
lives of Nino & Giovanni 
to equip them to preach
God's Word in our church!

With Nino we'll dig in Hebrews 11:32 to engage with the life of Samuel in order to see how he points us to Christ!





In this sessions we'll also interact with Stuart Olyott's book Preaching pure and simple.

Tomorrow we'll engage with the first chapter:
What is Preaching?

In his book, Olyott insists that a sermon should be rooted in accurate exegesis, characterized by doctrinal substance, Christ–centredness and supernatural authority, as well as being clear, direct, vivid, helpful and moving.
