LW Baptist

Jesus gives profound and surprising teachings about salvation throughout a series of encounters. Luke 18 tells of people bringing babies for his touch; a young, rich Jewish leader asking how to inherit eternal life and the disciples’ reaction to Jesus’ answer; Jesus’ prediction that he will be executed in Jerusalem; and a blind man who had his sight restored by Jesus.

Jesus took each of these opportunities to point people to salvation in himself. That, he says, in essence, is what faith really looks like: entire dependence on the savior. The familiar Bible text John 3:16 set to music says it all. The LW Baptist worship service is Sunday, Nov. 7, at 10 a.m., following the Sunday school meeting at 9:15 in Clubhouse 4.

The midweek Bible study’s theme is similar, based in Malachi 3:1, echoed in Handel’s Messiah bass recitative, “The Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his temple.” The group meets on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. The Women’s Christian Fellowship meets on Mondays at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 6.
