As a denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA) has some guiding principles that shape our mission. They’re called The Great Ends of the Church, six statements written in the early 20th century that guide both the vision and work of the Presbyterian Church. And that’s going to be our focus during this series.

On Sunday, we’ll continue the series by looking at the fourth great end of the church: the preservation of the truth. Below is the bulletin for the service. You can stream the service by going to the Sligo Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).

As Christians, we can offer specific daily prayers for our community, nation and world. Below is the need that we're laying before God today.

That loving families would be valued and protected by all authorities in this nation.

English radio presenter and journalist, John Peel wrote, "I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones."

Shakey went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under ... you gotta help me, I'm going crazy!"

"Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the shrink. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears."

"How much do you charge?"

"A hundred dollars per visit."

"I'll sleep on it," said Shakey.

Six months later the doctor met Shakey on the street.

"Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist.

"For a hundred buck's a visit? A bartender cured me for ten dollars."

"Is that so! How?"

"He told me to cut the legs off the bed!"

As we enter the narrative offered in the books of the Kings, the nation of Israel is at the peak of its power and influence. By the end of the story, the children of God have become a captive people, living far from the land promised to Abraham, conquered by Joshua and ruled by David.

Only those who are truly aware of their sin can truly cherish grace. - C. J. Mahaney

“Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes each of you equal with each other, whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a man or a woman.” (Galatians 3:28 - Contemporary English Version) The divisions of the past aren't valid for those who follow Jesus Christ. When we trust in God's irresistible grace and unconditional love, we no longer need to separate our brothers and sisters based on what's limited and temporary.

As Christians, we can offer specific daily prayers for our community, nation and world. Below is the need that we're laying before God today.

That people are sensitive to the vulnerability of their neighbors.

American inventor, engineer, businessman, and the holder of 186 patents, Charles Kettering wrote, "You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time."

I taught my kids about democracy tonight by having them vote on which movie to watch and pizza to order.

I then picked the movie and pizza because I'm the one with the money.

During the next few months, the SPC Thursday Evening Bible Study will be looking at Paul's Letter to the Romans, the single work that may best offer his theology and ethic. You see, in this letter, he explained to the church in Rome his understanding of human nature, faith, righteousness, and God's intention for everybody. He also offered practical ways we can live as Christians within the world and the church. And as we'll see during the seventeen sessions, what he had to say to the Romans is just as applicable today as it was almost 2,000 years ago.

During our fifth session, we looked at Romans 5:1-21 and discussed how our relationship between faith and righteousness. The recording of our discussion and the passage we discussed is below.

Banish, therefore, from thy heart the distractions of earth and turn thine eyes to spiritual joys, that thou mayest learn at last to repose in the light of the contemplation of God. - Albertus Magnus
