SPECIAL (012) - A Message for My Brother Pastors/Preachers - Rev. Jonathan Shirk - Manheim, PA
The following message is for my fellow brother pastors/preachers. It was delivered to about 20 pastors (and some visitors) at an Ephrata Ministerium meeting held at Ephrata Bible Chapel in Ephrata, PA. It is an encouragement to pastors to do faithful law and gospel preaching for the well-being and comfort of their congregations. Perhaps you know a pastor who would profit from this message. Please pass it on along with some loving encouragement.

Article 28: Belgic Confession of Faith:
We believe that since this holy assembly and congregation is the gathering of those who are saved and there is no salvation apart from it, no one ought to withdraw from it, content to be by himself, regardless of his status or condition. But all people are obliged to join and unite with it, keeping the unity of the church by submitting to its instruction and discipline, by bending their necks under the yoke of Jesus Christ, and by serving to build up one another, according to the gifts God has given them as members of each other in the same body. And to preserve this unity more effectively, it is the duty of all believers, according to God’s Word, to separate themselves from those who do not belong to the church, in order to join this assembly wherever God has established it, even if civil authorities and royal decrees forbid and death and physical punishment result. And so, all who withdraw from the church or do not join it act contrary to God’s ordinance. (https://threeforms.org/the-belgic-confession/#28)

SPECIAL (009) - I Will Build My Church (Part A) - Matthew 16:16-18 - Rev. Steve Estes - Elverson, PA
Steve Estes is the senior pastor of Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. He's been there for around 40 years. He obtained an undergrad degree from Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University) and a post-grad degree from Westminster Theological Seminary (WTS). He's on the board of CCEF (Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation) and has taught a course on preaching at WTS. Besides being a pastor and speaker, Steve is an author of several books. His book writing began with his friendship with Joni Eareckson Tada. They were friends as teenagers and worked through God's sovereignty in Joni's paralysis. Joni liked the writing style of Steve's letters and they co-authored two books together. Steve is married to Verna and they have eight grown children and 16 grandchildren. Steve is among my favorite preachers.
My family and I recently worshiped with Brick Lane Community Church on my sabbatical, and Steve preached a wonderful message on the importance of other Christians in your life. Please listen to this message titled Help with Being Holy: The Means of Grace: Other Christians - Hebrews 10:23-25.

STT 095 - I Belong (2): A Church from the Beginning
PLEASE LEAVE A SINCERE 5-STAR RATING IF YOU CAN. The church was from the beginning. Throughout history, God has been redeeming a people by Himself for Himself. To belong to Christ is to belong to Christ's church. The existence of the church is comforting because it reminds us that Christ is redeeming his people, gathering them, defending them, preserving them, protecting them, and ever loving and caring for them. The church is a beautiful and glorious thing.
