SUMMARY:Sunday Sermon: 1 Peter 1:3-12
DESCRIPTION:Last Sunday was such a powerful reminder of why God has placed Oxford Bible Fellowship on the Maple\, Chestnut corner! Our building could barely fit the number of students and families that attended the second service! Praise God! Thank you to those of you who willingly gave up your seat so a student could have a place to sit. Thank you to everyone who contributed towards Sunday’s church picnic. Thank you to those who helped set up and those who stayed until everything was cleaned up. Thank you for being a church family that demonstrates there is always room for one more at the family table! To Christ be the glory in the church throughout all generations\, forever and ever. Amen.   \nThis Sunday we will continue our study of the letter of 1 Peter and also celebrate the Lord’s table. Our passage of study will be 1 Peter 1:3-12. We encourage you to read ahead in preparation for Sunday morning. The study guide for Sunday’s passage can be found here.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, June 30th: Ezra 3
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday we will be walking through Ezra 3. Imagine for a minute the scene that is described in Ezra 3. Thousands of men have gathered to rebuild the foundation of the temple and construct an altar to the Lord. After the foundation has been laid and the alter built\, the priests come in their priestly garments with trumpets. The Levites and the sons of Asaph\, come with cymbals\, to praise the Lord\, according to the directions of king David. The priests\, Levites\, and song leaders lead the people as they sing responsively Psalm 136: “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good\, for his steadfast love endures forever”. And all the people shout with a great shout as they praise the Lord\, because the foundation of the house of the Lord has been laid (Ezra 3:10-11). \nWe encourage everyone to read Ezra 3 in preparation for Sunday. Each week we also provide study questions for those interested in doing a deeper dive into the preaching text. \nThe children will be participating in service again this week! At the beginning of service\, we will invite children who participated in VBS to join us on stage to sing one of the songs\, “Today is the Day.” The other songs that we will sing Sunday are listed below:\n\nI Will Sing of My Redeemer (Selah)\nWorthy Worthy\nI Surrender All\nGoodness of God

SUMMARY:Sunday\, June 16-- Ezra 1:1-11
DESCRIPTION:Happy (early) Father’s Day to all the OBF dads! A godly father is a gift to his family. A godly father lives and leaves a legacy of faith to his children and grandchildren. We are so thankful for the fathers in our lives\, physical and spiritual. May God continue to use you and strengthen you to imitate our Heavenly Father as you pray\, provide\, and protect your families. \nThis Sunday Pastor Emanuel will be walking us through Ezra 1:1-11 in our summer sermon series. We encourage you to read Ezra 1:1-11 in preparation for Sunday’s message. Discussion questions are available here for this week’s passage. \nWe have loved having our children participate in services with us! All children will continue participating in service this Sunday and for the remainder of June. When finding your seats\, please move to the center or end of your row to make room for other families. We have enough space but might need to move closer together so everyone can find a seat! We look forward to gathering with you all again this Sunday.

SUMMARY:Habakkuk
DESCRIPTION:This week we will conclude our series through Habakkuk. Chapter three is not so much a summary as it is a response to the two previous chapters. Because of this\, you are encouraged to take 15 minutes before Sunday to read back through Habakkuk as a whole. You may also begin to ponder\, “How have I seen God show up in my own life? What are the times I was utterly overwhelmed and He came through?” \nHere are discussion questions for this week’s passage. We encourage you to use them as you study the passage with others. \nThe Kindergarten – 3rd graders will begin in service again this Sunday. If you haven’t already\, please read the why and how behind our shift to help your child be an engaged participant this week. To further help our children participate and sing along\, we’ve also included the song list below. Consider listening to these songs ahead of time to help familiarize your kids with the words. \nHow Great Thou Art\nForever Reign\nChrist is Mine Forevermore – CityAlight\nKing of my Heart\nI Surrender All

SUMMARY:Sunday Sermon: John 17
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday we will be in John 17 looking at what is known as Jesus’ high priestly prayer.  With the cross and death before him\, Jesus bares his heart to his disciples and gives us access to know his heart and his thoughts. It is no wonder that many pastors and Bible commentators refer to John 17 as being the doorway to the “Holy of Holies”. The Scottish reformer\, John Knox\, asked that this chapter be read to him every day in the days leading to his death and during his final moments on earth. Thomas Manton\, chaplain to the English politician Oliver Cromwell\, preached forty-five sermons on it. And Marcus Rainsford\, an Irish pastor\, wrote a commentary of over 500 pages on just John 17! What a privilege to hear and study what Jesus prayed for us! If you would like to meditate on this passage ahead of time\, you can find study questions here.
