Acts 10:34-43 New Living Translation

The Gentiles Hear the Good News

34 Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. 35 In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right. 36 This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel—that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37 You know what happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee, after John began preaching his message of baptism. 38 And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

39 “And we apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross, 40 but God raised him to life on the third day. Then God allowed him to appear, 41 not to the general public, but to us whom God had chosen in advance to be his witnesses. We were those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he ordered us to preach everywhere and to testify that Jesus is the one appointed by God to be the judge of all—the living and the dead. 43 He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.”

Prayer

Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Yesterday, we joyfully celebrated 123 years of faith, fellowship, and service. Since our founding, God has guided our journey, strengthening our community and deepening our mission. Through generations of dedicated believers, we have shared God’s love, uplifted one another, and remained a beacon of hope, a lighthouse to our community.

 

As we honor this milestone, we give thanks for the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the future with unwavering faith. May God continue to bless our church, our leaders, and each member of our congregation.
 
Again, Happy anniversary, Tuxedo Park Baptist Church! Here’s to many more years of faithful ministry!
 
Peace and blessings, Pastor Eddie
