We have something special here at Mount Lebanon, something truly special. But I’m not talking about our church building, though it is something that is truly awe-inspiring. And I’m not talking about our five-star school, though it is truly a gift from our God to us and to our community. I’m not talking about anything else besides the gospel from and about our Savior, Jesus. We have something truly special here at Mount Lebanon. It’s the gospel! It’s like a treasure found in a field. It’s like an incredibly precious pearl.
Sometimes I think we forget that, or, at least, get distracted from it. Sometimes I think we forget what our true treasure is. Sometimes we lose the joy and the awe that finding and having this treasure gives us.
This weekend, as we continue our way through the “short stories” that Jesus told in Matthew 13, we want to reclaim that treasure and discover, once again, the joy that we have in the gospel.
We have something truly special here at Mount Lebanon. Let’s treasure it. Let’s enjoy it. Let’s rejoice in it. And let’s share it.
We’ll gather for worship on Saturday at 5:30 pm and on Sundays at 9:30 am. We will also broadcast our service on Sunday morning at 9:30 am HERE on our YouTube channel.
On Saturday, August 22, we will gather to clean our sanctuary. We’ll be meeting at church at 9 am to clean. We’d love to have your help to honor our Lord by the way in which we care for this space for worship.
