We are glad for the Lord's provision of the meeting room at the social center Magnolia, a well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.
At 10.15 we'll start our service continuing our series on the Book of Psalms, engaging with Psalm 7 - A cry to the Lord for justice!
We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage.
The reformer John Calvin, in the preface to his commentary on the Psalms, wrote: "I
have been accustomed to call this book, I think not inappropriately,
“An Anatomy of all the Parts of the Soul;” for there is not an emotion
of which any one can be conscious that is not here represented as in a
mirror."
Indeed
the Psalms speak of hope and fear, of love and hate, of discouragement
and thanksgiving, but above all, the Psalms speak to us of Christ (Luke 24:44)
and lead us to Christ: the Servant-King, the Messiah-Redeemer! The
Psalms are not poems to thrill us in private, but are the powerful
praise that the united people of the church, with missional passion sing
to their Lord. Each Psalm therefore asks us for an answer: will you
remain in the audience of the fools who say that 'there is no God', or
will you join the chorus of those justified by Jesus?
