10.24.25
Hello brothers and sisters,
This Sunday, during the morning worship service, I will preach a sermon on Zechariah 14:12-21, “The Advance of God’s Kingdom.” Our 10:00 am lesson will be on the theology of John Calvin, the second of a two-part Reformation Day series. During the fellowship meal this Sunday, I plan to hold our annual Reformation Day quiz on Reformation history. The evening sermon will be on 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28, “Exhortations and Benediction.”

Midweek Meeting
Our midweek meeting is held at the Bringe home on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. Our current study is based on J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History. This book is a survey of the New Testament and it is composed of short chapters that I read during our meeting, as well as study questions which we use for discussion. Thus, you do not need to read the book ahead of time.

Covenant Family Church is a conservative, Bible-believing, and elder-governed congregation located in Wentzville, MO which seeks to evangelize the lost and equip those who have been converted to walk worthy of their calling in Christ. 
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church continues to be vigorous in its defense and propagation of the historic Christian faith, particularly as it was articulated by the Protestant Reformers of the 16-17th centuries.
