Pleasing the Lord

By Todd Beiswenger


Ut pergas pasco dum audis, audi in fenestra nova.

Coming off the Easter holiday, we tend to be more grateful than usual for the things the Lord has done for us. We have thoughts of the crucifixion and the accompanying beatings and such that He endured along the way reminding us to appreciate the sacrifices He made for us. As a result, it may be useful to have this Sunday's service be on the topic of "What Pleases the Lord?" Some, maybe all of it, will be fairly obvious and familiar to you, but hopefully you can pick up something during the service that you can focus on as your way of thanking the Lord for all the blessings He's given you.
