"Devoted" - Preaching at Harderwyk - Acts 20 - August 8, 2021


Resources For "Devoted" Series From Each Harderwyk Preacher

I. New For This Week

As we think about the “good news of God’s grace” this week, may these couple of resources encourage you in that very message.

LORD’S DAY 1, HEIDELBERG CATECHISM 

Q: What is your only comfort in life and in death?

A: That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death— to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ. 

What is your only comfort in life and in death? 
He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,
and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.
He also watches over me in such a way
that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. 

Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him. 


Q: What must you know to live and die in the joy of this comfort? 

A: Three things:

first, how great my sin and misery are;

second, how I am set free from all my sins and misery; 

third, how I am to thank God for such deliverance.

Resources For "Enough" From Each Harderwyk Preacher I. New For This Week BibleProject Overview of Colossians - CLICK HERE for their helpful online video. An Early Copy of the Book of Colossians - CLICK HERE to learn some about "P46" - a papyrus copy of Paul's epistles from about one century after Paul would have first written it.  Note: No dating can be exact, and there is often debate about just when a book of the Bible was written, and then again over the age of any given manuscript that we possess, so none of this can be exact.   CLICK HERE for some actual photographs of P46 and the page where Colossians actually begins!  Also of note: Half of P46 is housed at the University of Michigan library.  Unfortunately for this sermon series, Colossians is in the half housed at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland.  Celebration Sermon Outline - CLICK HERE for this Sunday's Sermon Outline.
