Bass News for May 2025

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. ~2 Corinthians 5:21 LSB

Join us for Lord's Day worship at 11am and 6pm, Sunday School at 10am, and Wednesdays at 6pm. Take advantage of every opportunity to gather with the saints to worship our thrice holy God.

Pastor Dave is preaching through The Gospel According to John during Lord's Day morning worship. You will be blessed to learn of the Savior you worship. He has also been teaching through Romans on Wednesdays and during Sunday School. Join us for Sunday School and for Wednesday worship. You can catch past lessons on the Bass Chapel YouTube channel, and join in the fellowship during these teaching sessions as we move through the end of this great book of the Bible. There is also a ladies class that meets on Wednesdays and during Sunday School.

Lee has been sharing some great resources from YouTube. Spurgeon, Ferguson, and more. Thank you Lee, for ministering to the body.

Justin recently finished preaching through 2 Corinthians. He is planning a new series as he fills the pulpit. Catch the entire series on the 2 Corinthians playlist on YouTube. If you didn't get your copy of Mike Abendroth's Law & Gospel Primer, see Justin.

We have pew Bibles. Praise the Lord. The translation chosen by the elders is the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB), translated by The Master's Seminary faculty. This translation should be very familiar if you currently use the NASB 95, as it is an update of this reliable translation.

Bass Chapel Worship Guides are now in your pews as well. These have been in the works for about a year. They include our church covenant, historic creeds, Spurgeon's Catechism, and the Second London Baptist Confession. We pray that these will be beneficial in corporate worship, as well as private worship.
