Immanuel Southern Baptist Church

Sunday’s Coming!

This coming Sunday, we will be celebrating the Lord’s Supper! Begin to prepare your hearts. I Corinthians 11:29 warns us to not take the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner. It urges us to examine ourselves.

We should take this to mean that if we are living in unrepentant sin, then get right with God (repent and don’t do that sin any more) before coming to His table. If you have something against someone, or someone has something against you, then make it right with that person before coming to His table.

Our message Sunday morning will be “Cleaning House” based on Matthew 21:12-16, where Jesus cleansed the temple in Jerusalem.

Sunday evening, the Abbotts will be with us to give a presentation of their work in Indonesia. We’ll have a Finger Food Fellowship following.

See you Sunday!

- People’s expectation of the Messiah was skewed.
- People expectation of what God does for them is still skewed today.
