Church Family,

I pray that your week is blessed!

Tonight is our fish fry at 6 pm. We had 110 sign up!

This will be a great time of fellowship for the whole family. I encourage you to bring some board games for after the meal to enjoy some good fellowship with one another.  I look forward to seeing you this evening!

Just a reminder: today is also the final day to order your St. James shirts or hats.

The sermon this past Sunday focused on the key themes from Matthew 5:17-20, emphasizing Jesus' role in fulfilling the Law rather than abolishing it.

The message challenged us to reflect on our obedience, encouraging a heart-driven approach that transcends superficial practices. In the passage, Jesus calls for a righteousness that surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, urging followers to embrace Christ in their lives and to live authentically by His teachings. The sermon concluded by affirming that true righteousness is rooted in faith in Christ, who fulfills the Law on our behalf, inviting believers into a relationship grounded in grace and love. Paul affirms this truth in Romans 8.

3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

— Romans 8:3-4 NKJV

Blessings in Christ,

Pastor Brandon
