LW Baptist

LW Baptist’s Sunday school begins at 9:15 a.m., with the worship service following at 10.

This week’s featured song is “Jesus is the Cornerstone.” The Scripture passage is Luke 20, in which religious leaders question Jesus’ authority. “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?” Jesus answers by telling a parable and quoting the prophecy from Psalms 118: “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.”

The religious leaders’ interaction with Jesus discloses why people do not believe. To believe would change their lives, and to accept part of Scripture calls for accepting it all. Many people fear they will lose their position if they believe. So they really do not want to know the truth. They refuse to face Jesus, who God appointed their judge.
