Join us for worship! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpCRpZYr9Q8 10/15/2023 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: Tyler Estes Speaker: Rev. Matt Carter Scripture: Romans 8:12-17 Title: We Live by Surrendering Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 1. Which is easi

Join us for worship! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9eqzCTq4_I 10/8/2023 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Scripture: Philippians 2:25-30 Title: The Shape of Christ in the Quietly Faithful Worship Leader: Randy Hepler Speaker: Dr. Mark Garcia I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me. Notes: 1. Paul's relations
