August 31, 12th Sunday after Pentecost -- 9:00 Service. First Reading: Proverbs 25:6-7a; Psalm 112, Second Reading: Hebrews 13:1-8,15-16, Gospel: Luke 14:1, 7-14

Dear Servants,

"You Are A Teacher!," is the sermon title for this coming Sunday. The sermon is based on Luke 14:1,7-14.

Emphasis points:

1. In our text the Pharisees were watching Jesus very closely.

2. People watch us very closely, in regard to what we say and what we do.

3. In this text Jesus taught that others should be honored first and we are to keep ourselves in the background.

4. The acrostic JOY is a simple way to remember this text. Jesus first, others second, your self third.

"Those who humble themselves will be exalted " Luke 14:11

In Bible class we finish our study of the Parables, this week we look at chapter 34 Luke 6:46-49.

The new study books on Proverbs will be given out. The Proverbs study begins on September 14th.

Our Brunch is scheduled for September 7th. We will have open discussion on local outreach and begin budget discussion for 2026.

Plan to attend and share in the discussion on these matters.

Peace to you,

Ron
