 Sunday Next before Advent, November 21st, 2021

In the Twenty-Third Chapter of the Old Testament Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, we hear the following:  "BEHOLD, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth"  (Jeremiah 23:5)  We should take comfort in these words because we are assured that God will take care of His people.  We are told that God will send forth a King Who shall establish "justice in the earth."  We already know who this King is, dear friends, it is Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  It is He Who will save His people.  He has saved His children from the ravages of sin through His Atonement on the Cross.  He defeated death through dying on that same Cross and being laid in the tomb and then rising to new life on that first, glorious Easter morn!  We should keep in mind these facts.  So often do we dwell on the problems which life seems to throw at us.  So often do we only concentrate on the negative things we see around us.  It is understandable, humanly speaking, to be concerned with these things but we always have to remind ourselves that Our Glorious King has defeated death itself and promises us eternal life.  But first we must trust Him.  We must make Him our top priority.  We must make Him the King of our Hearts.  Thanksgiving will soon be here, dear friends.  Let us be thankful for all of our blessings which God provides to each and everyone of us.  But let us also thank God for the blessing of Salvation which He freely offers to each and everyone of us.  And let us take this opportunity to pledge our lives to God and make Him the true Ruler of our heart.  

St. Margaret of Scotland Anglican Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.  

Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to:  hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life.  Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
