Benedictus

Benedictus

This Lord’s Day at River City Reformed, we will be continuing our study of the Songs of Christmas by looking at the song of Zechariah, or the Benedictus. Our sermon text is Luke 1:67-80.

This song, much like the song of Mary, gives praise to God and points to the salvation He has promised in Jesus Christ. It also gives special attention to the ministry of John the Baptist as the forerunner who proclaims Christ and His salvation.

Magnificat

Magnificat

This Lord’s Day at River City Reformed, we will begin a new series on the songs of Christmas. You may wonder if this is a study of Christmas carols from our hymnals, but we are actually focusing on songs recorded in Scripture. This could include a wide variety of songs, especially if you consider that the Psalter points us to adore and worship the Son of God. It could also include Philippians 2:6-11. For the purposes of this study, we will be considering the following songs: “The Magnificat” as we study Luke 1:46-56, “The Benedictus” as we study Luke 1:67-79, “The Gloria” as we study Luke 2:8-20, “Nunc Dimittis” as we study Luke 2:22-38, and finally “The Song of Moses and the Lamb” as we study Revelation 15:1-4.

As we consider the Magnificat, we will see that it is a song of faith, a song of trust and a song of gratitude, and ultimately Mary exalts Christ as her Savior. Join us this Lord’s Day for worship as we consider Mary’s Savior and our Savior. We meet at 9 AM at 9820 W Markham St. in Little Rock (the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church).

Romans 8 and the Christian Life: No Separation

Romans 8 and the Christian Life: No Separation

In Romans 8, Paul gives a practical theology for the Christian life. We find in Romans 8 truths we need for the whole Christian life from start to finish. Paul began on the note of “No condemnation.” Remember, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1) We were reminded of justification before God, but we have also been taught about sanctification, adoption, suffering as Christians and the hope of eternity guaranteed to every believer. We also learned about the benefits of salvation that belong to the people of God in Christ. In verses 31-39, Paul concludes his argument by showing us that there is no one, no trial and no created thing that can separate the believer from Jesus Christ. Once one is in union with Christ, that union is unbreakable.

Join us for worship this Lord’s Day at River City Reformed as we consider these truths together. We meet at 9 AM at 9820 W Markham St in Little Rock (the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church).
