Join us for worship! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riwIiHCNXaM 11/23/25 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship leader: Luke Stoltzfus Speaker: David Royes Title: Favor and Fervor Text: 1 Peter 2:10-12 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. Notes: Main point: Life's fervor depends on Heaven's favor 1. Introduction A. Christians aren't designed to blend into the culture B. A book of hope to people in exile C. Main point 2. An insightful greeting A. A turning point in the text B. A greeting inspired by Hosea C. God doesn't love you for anything in you, but for reasons in Himself 3. An ongoing war A. A war that is within B. Soul-destroying desires 4. A watching world A. You will be mislabeled B. Our conduct is paramount 5. A coming day A. Two main views on "visitation" B. How are you doing behind closed doors in the war against the flesh? [Hosea's wife Gomer] conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, "Call her name No Mercy*, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all..." When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. And the Lord said, "Call his name Not My People**, for you are not my people, and I am not your God." (Hosea 1:6-9) And I will have mercy on No Mercy, and I will say to Not My People, "You are my people;" and he shall say, "You are my God." (Hosea 2:23) * Lo-ruhama (she has not received mercy) ** Lo-ammi (not my people) #favor #fervor #bricklanecommunitychurch #bricklanechurch #elverson #pennsylvania #worship #sermon

Scripture: Luke 12:13-21 Title: The Test of Prosperity Speaker: David Royes Someone in the crowd said to [Jesus], "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbiter over you?" And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat drin...

Worship Leader: Andrew Hageman Speaker: Pastor Steve Estes Scripture: John 13:12-17, 34-25 Title: Washing Each Other's Feet When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

Scripture: Job 42:1-17 Title: God Restores Job Speaker: Steve Estes, Retiring Senior Pastor Then Job replied to the LORD, "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.' My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes." After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and...
