de Steve Henderson, Pastor

You have dealt well with your servant,
O LORD, according to your word.
Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
for I believe in your commandments.
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.
You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
The insolent smear me with lies,
but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;
their heart is unfeeling like fat, but I delight in your law.
It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.
The law of your mouth is better to me
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Psalm 119:65-72 (esv)

Benediction
Sunday Worship 3:30 pm Mozartstrasse 12
July 13, 2014
Because worship is something we do in all of life, and not just for an hour and a half on Sunday, our gathering
together on Sunday should be a joyous overflow of the private worship we have prized all week.
So, let your joy be full and overflowing as you meet once again with others who treasure Jesus Christ
more than his blessingsmore than health, more than wealth, and more than life itself!
Lets greet one another heartily as we gather as a family in His presence.
The time for preparation for our worship service is not five minutes before 3:30 on Sunday,
but in all of life, Monday through Sunday.
The Law and Love
PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
One anothers i cannot find
Ray ortlund The Gospel Coalition
S
anctify one another, humble one an -
other, scrutinize one another, pressure
one another, embarrass one another,
corner one another, interrupt one another, defeat
one another, sacrifice one another, shame one
another, judge one another, run one anothers
lives, confess one anothers sins, intensify one
anothers sufferings, point out one anothers fail-
ings
The kind of God we really believe in is
revealed in how we treat one another. The lovely
gospel of Jesus positions us to treat one another
like royalty, and every non-gospel positions us to
treat one another like dirt. But we will follow
through horizontally on whatever we believe ver-
tically.
Our relationships with one another, then, are telling us what we really believe as opposed to
what we think we believe, our convictions as opposed to our opinions. It is possible for the gospel
to remain at the shallow level of opinion, even sincere opinion, without penetrating to the level
of real conviction. But when the gospel grips us at the level of conviction, we obey its implica-
tions whatever the cost. Therefore, if we are not treating one another well, then what were fac-
ing is not a lack of niceness but a lack of gospel. Our deficit is not primarily personal but theo-
logical. What we need is not only better manners but, far more, true faith. Then the watching
world will know that Jesus has come in among us:
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
JOHN 13:34-35

THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT OUR GIVING AND SERVICE
Those who seek to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires
that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 1 Timothy 6:19
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will
receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24
OFFERINGS TO MICC
If you are new to MICC, you may not realize that we are an unaffiliated local church.
We have no funding from denominational agencies or mission offices, but are supported entirely
by the grace motivated offerings of our members, friends, and regular attenders.
Our giving is an act of worship through which we can participate in the joy of
spreading Gods fame throughout the city and world.
Our worship in giving should be regular, prayerful, proportional, generous and cheerful.
Tax deductible contributions can be made by bank transfer (berweisung) to MICC
IBAN: DE45702501500010069003 BIC: BYLADEM1KMS Kreissparkasse Mnchen Starnberg
Tax deductible gifts in US Dollars can also be placed in the offering basket.

CHURCH PLANTING BICF IN HAIMHAUSEN
Bavarian International Christian Fellowship was planted in September 2006 as an outreach from MICC. We sent sev-
eral families to begin this new church in the Bavarian International School community in Haimhausen. Pray for their
continued reaching out to the community with the gospel, and offering the chance to worship Christ in English.
Pray that they would clearly and faithfully proclaim the biblical gospel in Haimhausen. Pray for the guarding of healthy
and sound doctrine in the church. Pray for the leadership of the church, and do pray for their current transitions:
Dan and Iara Pinckney left Munich in June, and BICF is preparing to welcome a new pastor. Pray for the Pinckneys
as they seek Gods direction for the future and for the church as they seek Gods faithful provision for shepherds.
Matt Sexton has been called to serve as pastor at BICF. Pray for the Sextons as they finalize their plans, manage the
transitions, and raise financial support. Pray for the strength and health of the church in this interim period as well.











Iv. sin powerfully abuses law
V. so then, does the law bring death?
8
But sin, seizing an opportunity
through the commandment,
produced in me
all kinds of covetousness.
Apart from the law,
sin lies dead.
9
I was once alive
apart from the law,
but when the commandment came,
sin came alive
and I died.
10
The very commandment
that promised life
proved to be death to me.
11
For sin, seizing an opportunity
through the commandment,
deceived me and
through it
killed me.
12
So the law is holy, and
the commandment is holy and
righteous and
good.
13
Did that which is good, then,
bring death to me?
By no means!
It was sin, producing death in me
through what is good,
in order that
sin might be shown to be sin, and
through the commandment
might become sinful
beyond measure.

Romans 7:4-13
4
Likewise, my brothers,
you also have died to the law
through the body of Christ,
so that
you may be [united]
to another,
to him who has been raised
from the dead,
in order that we may
bear fruit for God.
5
For while we were living
in the flesh,
our sinful passions,
aroused by the law,
were at work in our members
to bear fruit for death.
6
But now we are released
from the law,
having died to that
which held us captive,
so that
we serve
in the newness
of the Spirit
not in the oldness
of the letter.
7
What then shall we say?
That the law is sin? By no means!
Yet if it had not been for the law,
I would not have known sin.
I would not have known
what it is to covet
Yet if the law had not said,
You shall not covet.
