Septuagesima, or the Third Sunday before Lent,
February 13th, 2022
Have you ever had the experience of buying a product and before you knew it, the thing you bought proved to be no good. Maybe it broke down. Maybe it stopped working. Maybe it wore out. And you were disappointed because you spent your hard-earned money on such a piece of garbage. Some things last longer than others but the bottom line is that everything we buy either breaks, or wears out, or goes out of style, or loses its' usefulness, etc. In St. Paul's first Epistle written to the Corinthians, St. Paul emphasizes that Christians need to place their emphasis on obtaining a Heavenly crown which will never wear out, . . . will never break, . . . will never expire. So often in life as human beings we get so wound up, so fixated on obtaining worldly things which ultimately will not last. "Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible" (I Corinthians 9:25) St. Paul is encouraging us to remember that we should put our efforts into obtaining the Heavenly Crown of eternal life offered to us by God. And we do this by saying "Yes" to God. We do this by doing God's will in our life. We do this by living for God and not for the world.
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.
