WELCOME TO GRACE OPC!  On behalf of the session of Grace OPC, I want to extend our warmest greetings to you.  It is my hope and prayer that as we gather together this Lord’s Day to worship our Triune God and Redeemer, you will be encouraged to cast your cares upon the Lord and to draw near to God by faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are new here in Fair Lawn, please join us for fellowship following the benediction, and be sure to sign our guestbook.  We look forward to personally speaking with you, and if there are any prayer concerns in your heart, don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention.

Pastor John Keegan 

This morning in Isaiah 18, we will learn that while the world is in a continual state of unrest because of wars and rumors of war, we can find comfort in knowing that God sent His promised Son to conquer sin, Satan, and death, and purchase for God with His blood men and women from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

This evening n 2 Samuel 17, we will see how the wicked plans of man to overthrow the kingdom of God, are themselves overthrown by the sovereign will of God, typological of the predetermined plan of God for the Son to die a substitutionary death for His people at the hands of wicked men.
