Matt 15:17-20 (NIV)

17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

Dear Woodbridge Family,

Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Welcome to Passion Week where we honor and remember the final week of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the greatest Servant of all!

Last Sunday we had an amazing service as we set out to honor and appreciate our civil servants in the medical, fire, and law enforcement community! These are indeed special people called to the ministry of mercy and justice in our land. Our retired police chief Dave Maggard gave an awesome message of his own spiritual journey and the importance Jesus has played in his life. (You can download the message in the link below). We estimate over a hundred honorees and their families and guests came. It was only possible because each one of you did your part, from praying for the event to inviting guests and helping out in the countless other details that needed attention. A big thank you to all that worked so hard to make last Sunday happen! “Well done, good and faithful servants!” Matthew 25:23.

There are so many stories from last Sunday which makes it is hard to highlight just one, but I was so touched by an FBI agent who shared with me after the appreciation luncheon that this service was a breath of fresh air to his soul! I could tell in his eyes that he was so moved by our service! Many other people have also shared this with me!

We are looking forward to another great service this next Sunday as we celebrate the greatest Servant of all, Jesus Christ. Please take the time to pray and ask the Lord who He would like you to invite this week…. it’s going to be another service to remember as we help people meet, know, and follow Jesus!

Blessings and praise Jesus for all He has done and is doing!

Together in the journey,

Pastor Frank

The Key Verses in this week’s message are as follows:

Galatians 1:6-8 (NIV)

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!

The Key Verses in this week’s message are as follows:

Isaiah 53 1-5 (ESV)

1 Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
