This Sunday in History ...
1961—A white mob attacked a busload of civil rights "Freedom Riders" in Montgomery, Alabama, prompting the federal government to send in U.S. marshals to restore order.

This Sunday at Covenant (May 20, 2012)
♦The Book of Isaiah: This week: "The Grace of God"; Bob Kabakjian teaching
♦Practical Theology: "The End": Senior Pastor Lou Veiga will teach this chapter from the Westminster Confession of Faith on the Last Things (Eschatology).
11:00 AM Morning Worship Service
Theme: God's Righteousness
Sermon: "The Just and the Justifier"
Sermon Text: Exodus 34: 1-9
Preaching: Rev. Andrew Matthews
If you have read the Epistle to the Romans, you will recall this Sunday's sermon title to be the phrase that the Apostle Paul used in Romans 3: 26—"It was to show His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." But it may surprise you to learn that our sermon passage is not from any New Testament epistle or book; the same teaching is presented to us in the book of Exodus chapter 34! Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and so is His righteousness—the righteousness that He grants mercifully to all who take on His Name and covenant. Join us this Sunday morning as we celebrate Jehovah's free pardon to sinners.
6:00 PM Evening Worship Service
Theme: The Fruitful Christian
Sermon Title: "A More Sure Assurance"
Sermon Text: 2 Peter 1: 3-11
Preaching: Rev. Andrew Matthews
Assurance that a believer truly has God's forgiveness, and that he has eternal life is a very important teaching in Scripture. A Christian should never be content to remain in a state of uncertainty regarding his or her salvation—for in the assurance of God's love and grace are all our springs of joy and strength! But if assurance comes wholly from God, are we to be wholly passive with regard to this assurance? Are we to merely wait on God sitting idly? Or does the Bible give us directives how to increase this God-given assurance? Join us this Sunday evening for very important training in godliness from Peter's Second Epistle.

Our Pledge to Visitors: What You Can Expect If You Visit Us Next Sunday
We will worship God only as He has prescribed in His Holy Scriptures. We do not manipulate consciences or levy man-made rules and practices on the people of God. We love this liberty because the Son of God has made us free (John 8:36).
We will worship God by delivering His whole counsel to His people. We teach the whole of the Bible, because Jesus Christ has commanded us to teach it (Matthew 28:18-20).
We will preach sermons in consecutive order through entire books of the Bible without side-stepping the difficult texts (Acts 20:26, 27). We find harmony in the Scriptures; therefore we explain the meaning of the whole Bible and apply its teachings practically for your Christian walk.
We will not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus and Him crucified. We declare that we are bereft of any righteousness of our own. We freely confess our sin every week. But the good news is that God saves sinners and justifies the ungodly through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 4:5). We glory in Christ and in the righteousness that is imputed to us through faith in Him (Philippians 3:8-10; Titus 3:5).

write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people” (Hebrews 8:10).
