Welcome to Saints Andrew & Matthias
We are located at 2415 McCann Road in the little village of Irving Michigan. In our historic (1878) brick building we use the historic King James Bible at all our services. We are traditional old fashioned Christians , using the old fashioned types of services from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. We feel it is our duty as Christians in the Church to try, with the Holy Spirit's guidance, to bring others to Christ and thereby change the world, and not to instead let the world change the Church.
Please join us for worship this week to see if you think we are the church that you have been looking for.

This Week's Collect & Sermon Text
Lent V
The Fifth Sunday in Lent
The Collect
WE beseech thee, Almighty God, mercifully to look upon thy people; that by thy great goodness they may be governed and preserved evermore, both in body and soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
The Text for This Week's Sermon
The Gospel. St. John viii. 46
JESUS said, Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, if a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you; but I know him, and keep his saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
The Sermon for This Week
John VIII :58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am"
In today's Gospel we have Jesus being rejected by the Jews.
They failed to see the truth.
​
The truth that Jesus was the Messiah.
​
That Jesus was the Son of God.
Jesus showed us through his sinless life what God is like, because he was truly God.
By their rejection of Jesus, the Jews rejected his great gift.
He told them, "If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death".
Jesus gives the promise of unending life for those united with him by faith.
Death cannot hold the soul united with Christ ,because death could not hold him.
​
For those grafted into Jesus, death is the door into eternal life.
Jesus had told the Pharisees, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life".
They chose not to walk in that light.
​
They took up stones against Jesus.
​
They rejected God's saving power.
​
Many people today still don't see the truth.
They still do not accept Jesus as God's Son.
Our job as followers of Christ is to continue, during the whole course of our lives, to do our very best to help others to see that truth.
To help others to the blessings of walking in that light of Christ.
In these closing days of the Lenten season, we each as Christians need to be again asking ourselves what we can do as individuals, using the talents that God has given each of us, to build His Church.
We each need to do our part to bring others to His saving love.

We pray for our Armed Forces at each of our Morning and Evening Prayer services.
​
O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the Armed Forces of our country and those of our allies; Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.
