Six Ways
to Celebrate John Calvin’s 500th Birthday |
|
The Glory of Preaching the Bible
Happy birthday, John Calvin. This year we celebrate your 500th birthday. Your preaching inspires us to press on with this great and glorious task of heralding the Word of God.
And so we trace him preaching on Sundays with one hundred and eighty-nine sermons on the Acts between 1549 and 1554, a shorter series on some of the Pauline letters between 1554 and 1558, and the sixty-five on the Harmony of the Gospels between 1559 and 1564. During this time the weekdays saw series on Jeremiah and Lamentations (up to 1550), on the Minor Prophets and Daniel (1550-2), the one hundred and seventy-four on Ezekiel (1552-4), the one hundred and fifty-nine on Job (1554-5), the two hundred on Deuteronomy (1555-6), the three hundred and forty-two on Isaiah (1556-9), then one hundred twenty-three on Genesis (1559-61), a short set on Judges (1561), one hundred and seven on 1 Samuel and eighty-seven on 2 Samuel (1561-3) and a set on 1 Kings (1563-4).
Thank you, John Calvin, for believing in the majesty of the word and for demonstrating by your life the glory of preaching the Bible.

On January 25, 1999, our congregation began celebrating its centennial having been organized two years after the town of Roanoke Rapids received its charter. Our congregation has a rich heritage of worship and ministry spanning the last one hundred years. For our church family, in addition to our worship services, we provide opportunities for fellowship and educational experiences for all ages. There are opportunities to share in outreach programs, and we have a quality preschool program for 3 and 4 year olds. Separate worship for children during the 11 o'clock service is offered. Music plays an important part in our church. It enhances our worship services and provides an opportunity to share the inspiration and joy of singing. Our mission outreach includes both local and world communities who need assistance. In this way, we are witnesses to the love and compassion of Christ. We invite you to come and join in worship, fellowship, and ministry. |
