Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word at the social center Magnolia, a well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.
At 10.15 we will continue our series on the Book of Joshua, exploring Joshua 1:10-18 - "Strong and Courageous in God’s Promise!"
We will also have our Children's Club, where children will engage with a talk on the same biblical text, followed by a programme for the different age groups.
"«For every New Testament doctrine, there is an Old Testament picture.» The doctrinal teaching of inheritance gazed upon in the New Testament letters of Ephesians and Hebrews is glimpsed in the Old Testament book of Joshua. Jesus is the hero of both the Old Testament and the New Testament... The Bible is a HIMBOOK and must be seen and understood through the lens of Christ. It was Christ who, «beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, … interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures» (Luke 24:27; see also v. 44). During Jesus’s conversation with his two disciples on the Emmaus road, after a bit, he exposited the Hebrew Bible to them. He revealed how the volume bears witness to his essence and his eventual bodily presence on earth in the incarnation. Never does the Bible foreshadow Jesus more than in the book of Joshua."
