Matthew 6 Part 2b

May 3, 2024

We all worry to some degree or another because there’s so much to worry about! But is there really? Worry as it’s been well said, “Is deceptive because it gives us a wrong view of life.”  In Mathew chapter six Jesus commands us not to worry and then tells us how!

A Study in the Book of Ruth
The book of Ruth is more than just a God ordained love story, although it is certainly that as well.  It reveals the extent of God’s kindness and grace. He accepted Ruth, once an outcast, into his chosen people, and went on to  honor her by  allowing King David and Jesus to be born of her lineage.  Pastor Thom explores the life of Ruth in his 13 message series entitled, Experience Hope in the Life of Ruth.  Request your copy today, on USB flash drive or CD, for a gift  of $25 or more.

He laid out his stress management plan in the Sermon on the Mount.

The Christian life is a radical life but it’s more radical than we often think!  Would we characterize our praying as radical or how about our giving or the way we bless others?  The Sermon on the Mount reveals how radical the Christian life is to be.

On today’s broadcast we conclude our study of Esther. And we’ll do so by exploring the fascinating practices associated with the feast of Purim. Since the time of Esther, each year with few exceptions the Jews celebrate this feast. It’s a remembrance of their deliverance from the evil plot of wicked Haman - that if it succeeded would have meant a total holocaust. This important feast was established by Mordecai along with queen Esther.

About Study the Word

Study the Word is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Lebanon, Pennsylvania. It features the teaching ministry of pastor Thom Keller.  As we go verse by verse through the Scriptures, our hearts desire is to encourage you to not only Study the Word, but seek to follow God and obey His Word.

About Pastor Thom Keller

Thom began teaching an inner-city Bible study in 1995. That love of teaching God’s word eventually led to the formation of Calvary Chapel Lebanon in October, 2001, with about 50 people meeting in an old hardware store. Our church ministry and philosophy centers on teaching God’s word chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Prior to pastoring, Thom was president and general manager of Keller Brothers Ford, a third-generation family business that began in 1921.  After 8 years of bi-vocational ministry, in 2009, Thom sold the business and became a full-time pastor.

Thom and his wife, Sue, live near Schaefferstown. Thom and Sue enjoy snow skiing, mountain biking and motorcycle rides.  Thom has often said that he loves performing weddings because he loves being married!

Ted, pictured above is Sue’s brother who has lived with Thom and Sue since 2001.

“It has been an absolute joy to see the changes God is bringing about in the lives of individuals, marriages and families at Calvary Chapel. God’s word does not return void!”

Currently we have worship services Sunday morning at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM at our church located at 740 Willow St.  Please introduce yourself when you stop by!
