LW Baptist

Sunday school at LW Baptist begins at 9:15 a.m., followed by worship at 10 a.m., featuring the song “Jesus is the Cornerstone.”

The Scripture passage for this week is Luke 20, where 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, because to accept part of Scripture calls for accepting it all. If they believe, people fear they will lose their position. So they really do not want to know the truth. They refuse to face the Jesus God appointed their judge. On Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 3 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, Energizers group will explore a similar theme, with the lesson titled “God’s Matchless Book,” from Malachi 3. For more information, call
