Lord’s Day Liturgy

Every Lord’s Day at Trinity Evangel Church we confess our sins together and come to the Lord’s Table. These are the exhortations I’ve written for both, Sunday by Sunday since 2011.

confession exhortation

Do Nothing Without It

The Chief Shepherd has sent us a book. Read it, crave it, and do nothing without it.

Faith Changes Everything

Everything good is bad without faith. The righteous shall live by faith, and we eat and drink at the Lord's Table by faith.
