5th Annual Benevolence Picnic and Silent Auction!

Join us on June 22 at 10:00 a.m. for our 5th Annual Benevolence Picnic and Silent Auction!

The annual Benevolence Picnic was established five years ago, with the vision of bringing together our congregation to enjoy fellowship with one another, and to raise money for our church's benevolence needs.  

Throughout the years, generous sponsors have kindly donated a variety of gifts, services, and goods to our silent auction. The auction, along with fundraising activities such as croquet, soccer, and the purchase of picnic foods, has helped tremendously in funding the church's benevolence program.

Such contributions help Christ Reformed Church to administer financial assistance to those in need of benevolence. This assistance aids with daily necessities, groceries, rent assistance, car repair, utilities, medical expenses, etc. And 100% of the funds raised go directly for benevolence; none of it is reserved for administrative use.

In these difficult economic times, the benevolence fund is critical. We thank you for supporting our efforts to help those in need and hope you will have fun while supporting a great cause!

For more information please visit the picnic website:  Christ Reformed Pinic 2013

The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary (1 Corinthians) - Now Available!

 

The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary (1 Corinthians)

by Kim Riddlebarger

The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament is a new exegetical commentary series published by Tolle Lege Press. The series, edited by Jon D. Payne, will be authored by sixteen ministers from five countries representing ten different Reformed denominations. The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary seeks to be rigorously exegetical, God-centered, redemptive-historical, sin-exposing, Gospel-trumpeting and teeming with practical application. It aims to encourage ministers, elders, seminarians and interested laypeople to rediscover the profound spiritual benefits of systematic expository preaching; that is, the faithful preaching of the “whole counsel of God” -- verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book. It also endeavors, by the power of the Spirit, to help Christ’s kingdom disciples to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (II Peter 3:18).

Dr. Riddlebarger's new Commentary on First Corinthians is available in the church bookstore. Purchase your copy now for $28.00.

Having shared and sat under the ministry of Kim Riddlebarger for many years, I am delighted to see the fruit of his faithful labors reach a wider audience. Combining attention to exegetical detail with decades of pastoral experience, this commentary will reward generously with its unique insights into this wonderful epistle.

Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California, Host of the White Horse Inn talk show, and Editor-in-Chief of Modern Reformation magazine

First Corinthians is a book that has long been neglected by Reformed commentators. That is why I am so glad that Kim Riddlebarger has provided the church with this exegetically-sensitive and doctrinally-sound exposition. Riddlebarger handles the letter’s difficult issues with care and pastoral sensitivity. In addition, he models for the Church what faithful exposition should be. This second installment in the Lectio Continua series is a welcome addition to any Christian’s shelf!
