“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Matthew 10.25, [NIV]
Our duty is to magnify God’s name and His good works. Come and be filled by the word and fellowship here with us at 965 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York, 14209 or at any one of the churches that praise and worship the only True & Living God.

Sermon Topic: Christianity and Government
Synoptic topic: The Definition of a Good Citizen
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuThe scripture lesson for this week was from 1 Peter 2:11-17. You can it both below. The heart verse can be found in verse 17.
1 Peter 2:11-17 King James Version (KJV)
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
