September 7 at Bay Shore Church
9:30 a.m. Worship – Sunday School – Nursery
The Rev. Charles Ensley’s Sermon:
“Onward, Christian Soldiers!”
Sermon request: “As Christ represents peace, where did the concept of ‘Christian soldiers’ come from?” We’ll use the history of the hymn, Onward, Christian Soliders, and a harsh saying of Jesus as back-ground to see what he says on the issue of “peace”.
