Our friend and teacher Albert Faust takes us through the Bible and contemporary Christian literature as he discussed the role of the church and the individual Christian in the arena of the public square and the voting booth.

We continue to pray that you will invite Jesus into your life and make Him Lord of your life, if you haven't already.  
And if you need to take care of this please call Pastor Harvey at 323-316-7131 and he will be glad to pray with you.

Check out this modern, upbeat version of "There is Power in the Blood" by Selah.  I love the traditional hymns, but I think Selah has a very "catchy" arrangement here.

Now let's slow it down a bit, as we thank Jesus for who He is!
This song was written by the Gaithers, but sung by the Heritage Singers.

After singing a few songs, then as a congregation we read together aloud the following reading from John 14:1-11.

John 14:1-11 (NASB)
Jesus Comforts His Disciples 

1 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

2 In My Father’s house are many rooms; if that were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be.

4 And you know the way where I am going.”

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?”

6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Oneness with the Father
7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works.

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

How Great Thou Art

Here is the biblical text from the sermon...

Acts 5:27-29 & Romans 13:1-4 - NASB

Acts 5:27-29 - NASB
27 When they had brought them, they had them stand before the Council. The high priest interrogated them,

28 saying, “We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this Man’s blood upon us.”

29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

Romans 13:1-4 - NASB
1 Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a servant of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
