Watch this and other sermons in this series on YouTube in our Testify to the Truth playlist here.
July 25
“So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.” (Ephesians 2:19–20 CSB17)
As We Gather
As we testify to the truth, we would be remiss if we did not speak the truth in how we got to the point we're at today. God has been and is at work throughout all of human history to accomplish His will, even to bringing us together in church this morning. Through the Old and New Testaments, the early Christian communities, the time of the Reformation, and the foundation of this church, God's truth has been proclaimed. Indeed, the only reason that you and I are here is because these previous generations have been faithful to the truth. And if we hope for another generation of faithful Christians, you and I must follow where Christ has led and testify to the truth.
Prayer
Almighty and everlasting God, since You govern and sanctify the whole Christian Church by Your Holy Spirit, hear our prayers for all her members, and mercifully grant that by Your grace we may serve You in true faith; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
