Revelations Bible Study

The study is led by Pastor David Yarrington.

Of all the Books of the Bible perhaps none speaks more to our time in history than St. John's Revelation. For example: Revelation speaks of the tension between living as a disciple of Christ in a secular and godless society and government. SOUND FAMILIAR? In the pages of Revelation, God speaks his judgment on humanity, His promise of what is to come and we hear God’s warning to prepare for the end of time. Above all, Revelation reminds us of the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God and Savior of the world. Click here for the bible study.


Labors of Love

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

And we ought to lay down our lives for one another.” – 1 Jn. 3:16

Through our “Labors of Love” ministry we are looking to do two things: (1) love our neighbors-in-need in tangible and meaningful ways, and (2) mobilize the people in our neighborhoods in loving their neighbors in meaningful and tangible ways. In other words, we want to partner with our neighbors in Rockford, Loves Park, and Machesney Park in loving their neighbors and our neighbors. If you would like assistance, please click here to complete and submit the labor request. If you have a pressing immediate need for assistance, please call the church office: 815-399-3171.

 In the months with FIVE Saturdays on the fifth Saturday of the month (still for 2024: November 30th and for 2025: March 29th, May 31st, August 30th, and Nov. 29th) we are asking the members of Mt. Olive and Concordia Lutheran Churches, and others living in our neighborhoods to make yourselves available to respond to our/your neighbors’ requests for labor assistance. To become a “Labor of Love Volunteer” please complete the volunteer application form by clicking here


Our congregational memory verse is Romans 1:16.
