CHRIST THE KING 

The Lord's Day Service for Aug 27, 2023 - 12th Sunday After Trinity

8/26/2023

 
Friends of Christ the King, 
I hope you are able to gather with a congregation of Christ's Church this Lord's Day; and you are welcome to join us in Covington (203 N. Jefferson Ave) for our 5pm Holy Communion Service.
The sermon theme for this Sunday, based on the Epistle and Gospel Lessons, will focus on our Moving from Glory Unto Glory, in Christ.
After service attendees will be invited to stay for a time of fellowship, refreshments and catechism.  
Below is our Service Bulletin for your use and edification.  Also below are the catechism questions that we plan to cover after service during our fellowship time. 
Our Catechism Review this Sunday will cover the "To Be A Christian" Catechism section on Holy Scripture:

25. What is Holy Scripture?
Holy Scripture is “God’s Word written” (Articles of Religion, 20), given by the Holy Spirit through prophets and apostles as the revelation of God and his acts in human history, and is therefore the Church’s final authority in all matters of faith and practice. (Psalm 19:7–11; Jeremiah 36:1–8; 2 Timothy 3:14–17; Revelation 1:1–11)

26. What books are contained in Holy Scripture?
The thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and the twenty- seven books of the New Testament together form the whole of Holy Scripture. (Articles of Religion, 6)

27. What is in the Old Testament?
The Old Testament proclaims God’s creation of all things; man- kind’s original disobedience; God’s calling of Israel to be his people; his Law, wisdom, and saving deeds; and the teaching of his prophets. The Old Testament bears witness to Christ, reveal- ing God’s intention to redeem and reconcile the world through Christ. (Luke 24:44; 1 Corinthians 10:1–4; Hebrews 11)

28. What is in the New Testament?
The New Testament proclaims Jesus Christ’s birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension; the Church’s early ministry; the teaching of the apostles; the revelation of Christ’s eternal kingdom; and the promise of his return. (Luke 24:45–49; Acts 1:1–11; Philippians 2:5–11)

29. How are the Old and New Testaments related to each other?
The Old Testament is to be read in the light of Christ, and the New Testament is to be read in light of God’s revelation to Israel. Thus the two form one Holy Scripture, which reveals the Person of Jesus Christ and his mighty works. As Saint Augustine says, “The New is in the Old concealed, the Old is in the New revealed.” (Augustine of Hippo, Questions in the Heptateuch 2.73; see also Matthew 5:17–18; Luke 24:25–27)

30. What does it mean that Holy Scripture is inspired?
Holy Scripture is “God-breathed,” for the biblical authors wrote under the guidance of God’s Holy Spirit to record God’s Word. (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:19–21)

31. What does it mean that Holy Scripture is the Word of God? The Old and New Testaments are inspired by the Holy Spirit
and are therefore the Word of God written. God is revealed in concerning holy scripture 33
his mighty works and in the incarnation of our Lord, which are made known through the inspired writings of the biblical authors. God “has spoken through the prophets” (Nicene Creed) and continues to speak through Scripture today. (Psalm 33:4–9; Jeremiah 1:9; Ezekiel 2:1–3:4; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 3:15–16; Hebrews 1:1–2)

32. Why is Jesus Christ called the Word of God?
The fullness of God’s revelation is found in Jesus Christ, who not only fulfills the Scriptures, but is himself God’s Word, the living expression of God’s mind. The Scriptures testify about him, “In the beginning was the Word,” and “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” ( John 1:1, 14). Therefore, “ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.” ( Jerome, Commentary on Isaiah, prologue; see also Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 33:1–12; Colos­sians 1:15–19)

33. How should Holy Scripture be understood?
Because Holy Scripture was given by God to the Church, it should always be understood in ways that are faithful to its own plain meaning, to its entire teaching, and to the Church’s historic interpretation. It should be translated, read, taught, and obeyed accordingly. (Nehemiah 8:1–8; Psalm 94:8–15; Acts 8:26–35; 18:24–28; Jerusalem Declaration, Article 2; Articles of Religion, 20)

34. How does the Holy Spirit use Holy Scripture in your life?
Through Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit will teach, rebuke, cor- rect, and train me in the righteousness that God desires. The prayerful study of Scripture forms me for life in Christ and the service of God and my neighbor. (Psalm 119:105; John 14:26; 2 Tim­othy 3:16–17; Hebrews 4:12–13; see questions 227–32)

35. What are the Apocrypha?
The fourteen books of the Apocrypha, historically acknowl- edged by this church, are pre-Christian Jewish writings that provide background for the New Testament and are included in many editions of the Bible. They may be read as examples of faithful living but “not to establish any doctrine.” (Articles of Religion, 6)
