We are currently taking several weeks off from our 10:00 am Sunday Christian Education class but will begin a new series on the “Hard Sayings of Jesus” in August, please join us downstairs in the undercroft for sound biblical instruction and great conversation!
The Epistle. Romans. viii. 12.
BRETHREN, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The Gospel. St. Matthew vii. 15.
BEWARE of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
A house of prayer. Faithful to the word of Christ.
A place of hope for our community.
St. Paul’s is a traditional Anglican church, serving the greater Lexington, Virginia area. As a community of Christians we invite you to join us as we follow in the footsteps of Christ, through repentance and faith, with joy and gladness. Come and rejoice with us in “the beauty of holiness” (Ps. 96) and help us as we minister to our community in the name of Christ. We have services of worship every Sunday morning using the Bible and the traditional Book of Common Prayer (1928) as our order of worship and rule of prayer.
If you are in Lexington, Rockbridge County, or the surrounding area, please come and visit us! And feel free to walk in to any of our worship services.
