Bass News for April 2025

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. ~John 3:36 LSB

Pastor Dave is preaching through The Gospel According to John during Lord's Day morning worship. You will be blessed to learn of the Savior you worship. He has also been teaching through Romans on Wednesdays and during Sunday School. Join us for Sunday School and for Wednesday worship. You can catch past lessons on the Bass Chapel YouTube channel, and join in the fellowship during these teaching sessions as we move through chapter 13. There is also a ladies class that meets on Wednesdays and during Sunday School.

Lee has been sharing some great resources from YouTube. Spurgeon, Ferguson, and more. Thank you Lee, for ministering to the body.

Justin has some copies of Jesus and Cancer by Mike Abendroth. If you know someone who would benefit from this short book, let him know. Jesus and Cancer is a condensed version of Cancer Is Not Your Shepherd, which each Bass Chapel family received back in the first quarter of 2024. Look for copies of Law & Gospel: A Primer very soon.

We have pew Bibles. Praise the Lord. The translation chosen by the elders is the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB), translated by The Master's Seminary faculty. This translation should be very familiar if you currently use the NASB 95, as it is an update of this reliable translation.

Bass Chapel Worship Guides are now in your pews as well. These have been in the works for about a year. They include our church covenant, historic creeds, Spurgeon's Catechism, and the Second London Baptist Confession. We pray that these will be beneficial in corporate worship, as well as private worship.

Many unchurched folks find their way to God's house this one day each year. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to morning worship at 11am. We will not have evening worship on this day.
