Prominent Lessons

For this past month I have learned the importance of the unity in the body of Christ. We are to function together in harmony for a greater common purpose, which is the great commission and the edification and exhortation of the body of Christ.

I have been preaching from Ephesians 3 and participating in the Mission Scranton ministry. I have realized the importance of being faithful and content in showing, sharing and preaching the gospel to those who are lost. The “mystery” that Paul talks about in Ephesians 3, praise God, has been made known to us but sadly there are so many people around the world and in our very own communities to whom this mystery, the gospel, remains a mystery. The gospel does not have to be a mystery, and we should not let that be the case since we are commanded by God to preach the Gospel to all people.

Key Goals for the Next Month

Continue to preach through Ephesians.

Get my last two projects approved.

Continue to teach Sunday School.

Preach my two other Applied Bible Analyses sermons.

Give my first communion.

Teach four new songs to the church.
