*The Opening Hymn # 98 I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
The Scripture Lesson Romans 10: 1-13
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved, For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: “The man who does these things will live by them.” But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ (that is to bring Christ up from the dead).
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart.” That is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile – the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will saved”.
This is the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God

We are collecting food to fill bags for people in need of food in our Baptist Centers’ community. Items needed are: cans of green vegetables, yellow vegetables, fruit, soup, meat, beans, pasta – also boxes of macaroni and cheese, 2 quart size boxes of powdered milk, cereal, oatmeal, rice, pasta, dry beans, peanut butter, jelly.
Do not bring large cans or boxes of food. Many of the people who benefit from this ministry live alone and don’t need extra large sizes, and most have to lug the overflowing bags home on foot.
Jesus said: “anything you did for one of my brothers here, however humble, you did for me” (
