WELCOME TO GRACE OPC!  On behalf of the session of Grace OPC, I want to extend our warmest greetings to you.  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 on your heart, don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention.

This morning in Isaiah 1:1-9, we will see that it is the kindness of God to show us the depths of our depravity in the estate of sin and misery into which we were born, in order that we might be awaken to our lost condition and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

This evening in 1 Samuel 25 we will learn how the Holy Spirit works through His Word and His church to keep us from the disaster of returning evil for evil when insulted and attacked, and enables us instead to manifest Christ-like humility and trust in the justice of God.
