Tenants of God’s Church
We are to consider ourselves as simple tenants of God’s church. We are to relate to one another in love and humility. The Lord Jesus alone is the head of the church.

Paul writes from Prison. He humbly accepted his plight. He urges the Christians in Philippi to walk humbly, in peace with one another. Paul felt that if they did that, he did not live in vain!
Some people spend their whole life trying to figure out God. He is above all human understanding. All three readings for today point to this fact: God’s thoughts are higher than ours. Paul’s imprisonment turns out to be good!
The church in Rome had many problems. One of the more annoying ones was the people quarreled over opinions. Paul advises them to live and let live. We are all accountable to God. None of us is greater than another. Under Christ, we live in harmony.
Guest Preacher: Reverend Dr. Gilbert Duchow
Our dear Savior bids us to pick up our cross – to suffer for our faith, if needed. He does not call on everyone to suffer for one’s faith, but faith has to determine one’s posture and behavior in this life. The reward will come in heaven. Here we serve.
