Sunday Service: Visiting Preacher - Mark Oden

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 at the theatre Le Torri dell'Acqua, well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.

At 10.30 we'll start our service and Mark Oden, pastor of Neapolis Church in Naples will preach about "Worship the Lamb because he alone is worthy!" - Revelation 5. Together we'll see the beauty of Christ, the Lamb who is worthy: "...for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." Revelation 5:9-10

We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage. 

Stefano will lead the Lord's Supper from 1Peter 1:18-21 "knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God."

Missionary Prayer Meeting with Giuseppe & Sun-min

Tomorrow evening we'll have a Missionary Prayer Meeting on Zoom.

We'll have with us Giuseppe & Sun-min, who will share the ways in which the Lord is guiding them to serve Him in Germany working with WEC with refugees.

“If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.”

With Stefano we'll engage with Matthew 13:44-46 - The Kingdom that is really Worth it!

Together we'll see the beauty and worth of Christ, as the Apostle says: "But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith." Philippians 3:7-9

With Giovanni we'll engage with Matthew 31-35 - Growth & Transformation in the Kingdom!

Both parables highlight the contrast between the "small" beginning and the triumphal ending of God's Kingdom, in this we'll see the beauty of Christ: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this." Isaiah 9:6-7
