For Lord’s Day, February 3, 2013 Dear Saints, I was struck this morning by a comment in a sermon I was listening to by Pastor Jeff Stivason of Grace RPC in Gibsonia, PA. He was preaching on Mark 14:1-11, and made a touching contrast between the woman who poured the precious ointment from her alabaster […]
For Lord’s Day, January 27, 2013 Dear Saints, First, a reminder we’ll be watching Sherwood Pictures’ “Courageous” tonight at the Church in the Fireside Room. Bring popcorn to share. Remember, these Homemaker events are for fellowship for the WHOLE covenant family at PECA (youth, singles, young adults, etc.). Hope to see you all there. Speaking […]
For Lord’s Day, January 20, 2013 Dear Saints, What’s the use in waiting? Something in particular stood out to me in Elder Huffmaster’s leading of our Psalm 27 devotion last Lord’s Day morning which addresses that question.

Dear Saints, I have been blessed to meditate on Elder Huffmaster’s sermon, “You Can Be Perfect” in relation to Psalm 18:28-37 that we sang before he preached on Lord’s Day, December 16. The sermon pointed out from 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that the Word of God (through doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness) makes us […]
For Lord’s Day, December 23, 2012 Dear Saints, It’s been raining a lot lately. Or, rather, as B.B. Warfield tells us the Jews would observe and comment on the weather, let me say, “God has sent us a lot of rain lately.” I want to encourage you to see the mists and showers as […]
