LW Baptist

LW Baptist will meet for worship at on Sunday, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 4.

This week’s service echoes the Gospel theme “Send the light from shore to shore.” Jesus once put off a woman’s request by telling her the children must be fed first before the dogs. She countered, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” Jesus commended her faith and granted her request. Likewise, in Luke 17:11, Jesus heals 10 lepers, but forgives only the one who was an outsider because of his faith. Explaining, Jesus said, “Where are the other nine? Has no one but this foreigner returned to give praise to God?” And he told the man, “Your faith has saved you.”

Jesus gives many pictures of God’s mercy. One of them is that many from east and west will be at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; another is every recovery and restoration believers experience previews their future glorification in God’s presence.

Sunday School meets before church at 9:15 a.m. The men’s Bible Fellowship meets Mondays at 10 a.m., and the Energizers group meets on Wedensdays at 3 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room1.
