MORNING
Mark Redfern opened Matthew 5:13-16, on our being salt and light. So the music theme follows. It's Friend Sunday as well.

We had an extra time of prayer for several (incl two of our pastors leaving for Columbia), so the music was shortened. Pastor Sam opened Romans 2:12-15, the law as basis for judgment.

No condemnation (tune: morning has broken)
Alas! and did my Savior bleed / Bob Kauflin version

Quo Vadis?

That is, "where do we go from here?"

Steve Hartland, one of the pastors of Trinity RB in Baltimore, preached at our church this past Lord's Day evening. Here's the link for the entire sermon, if you'd like. The sermon opens up 1 Corinthians 9, on our need to adapt the gospel to various kinds of people, so that we might "win, win, win, win, win, save some, more" (Paul's words).

This is the last 8 minutes, where he makes application to our music.



I'd really like your response to this. If you feel more comfortable doing so, respond anonymously. In turn, I'll post some of my reflections.
