10.22.26
Hello brothers and sisters,
The plan for this Sunday includes a baptism (originally this was planned for last Sunday and then was postponed to this Sunday). There will be a cake after the meal to celebrate, so there is no need to bring other desserts.
My sermon in the morning will be on Revelation 6, “The Wrath of the Lamb,” and my sermon in the evening will be on 2 Chronicles 12, “Wrath and Mercy in Rehoboam’s Reign.” The 10am lesson will be on the life of Ulrich Zwingli. Every year around Reformation Day I usually teach a two-part series related to the Reformation. This year, the series will be on the life and theology of Ulrich Zwingli.
Recordings from Last Sunday
Lesson: What Is TULIP?
Morning Sermon: Worthy Is the Lamb (Revelation 5)

What Is Baptism?
In this blog post, I explain question 94 of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which is on baptism.
Midweek Meeting
Our midweek meeting on Wednesdays is held at the Bringe home at 7:00 pm, and the current series is based on J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History. Next Wednesday we will look at chapter 51 (the second to last chapter). Here are a few quotes from the chapter we read last night (on the Christian use of the intellect):
“As a matter of fact, theology is merely thinking about God. Every Christian must think about God; every Christian to some degree must be a theologian. The only question is whether he is to be a bad theologian or a good theologian.”
“The Spirit of God does not destroy, but rather quickens and ennobles, the endowments of man. One of the most important of such endowments is the mind.”
“Patient study should not be abandoned to the men of the world; men who have really received the blessed experience of the love of God in Christ must seek to bring that experience to bear upon the culture of the modern world, in order that Christ may rule, not only in all nations, but also in every department of human life. The Church must seek to conquer not only every man, but also the whole of man.”
Pilgrim Heritage Celebration
Our annual Pilgrim Heritage Celebration will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, November 22nd. The speakers will be myself, Jeff Hamann, and E. Wesley Reynolds. Dr. Reynolds is an old friend of mine who is licensed to preach in the OPC, a Visiting Fellow at the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal, and the author of Coffeehouse Culture in the Atlantic World, 1650-1789 (London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2022), as well as other articles and reviews. I have attached a flyer for the celebration below.

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.
