Sermon: On my way in to the office this morning I listened to a NT professor I had once, Dr. Jonathan Pennington, preach a sermon on Jesus’ parable of the soils called, “Keep Your Eyes on Your Ears.” It was a fitting follow-up to some of the ground we covered in Nehemiah yesterday when we emphasized how God’s people must pay attention to God’s Word.

Catechism: Is baptism with water the washing away of sin itself?

Song from Clark: 1 John 1:9 gives us great news among the cutting reality of our sin. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” God is not only willing to forgive sins but even “faithful and just” to forgive and cleanse us! Great is His grace! Kids or not kids, we do well to hide this word in our hearts!
