And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those beyond the Jordan saw that the men of

Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. And the Philistines came

and lived in them.

1 Samuel 31:7

Welcome

UBC exists because God, in his infinite love, sent his Son Jesus Christ to live and die in the place of sinners. On the third day Jesus rose bodily from the grave, once and for all victorious over sin and death. Now, through Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, God is reconciling this broken world to himself. We gather in that great hope. We pray it’s your hope as well, and that you’re encouraged during your time with us.

Note on Children

Parents, we encourage having children in the service, but if they do get restless, televisions throughout the foyer and the Legacy Room both carry a live stream of our service. A room for nursing mothers is located on the 4th floor of the Main Hall. This room is available at all times and includes a live stream of our service as well. We are not able to offer childcare at this time, but children of all ages are welcome to sit with you in the service.

Church Membership

For those interested in membership at UBC, we regularly offer a Discovery Class. In this class, you’ll learn what the Bible says about church membership, what we believe as a church, and how we seek to live out the commands of God’s Word. Our next class will be held on September 13 at 12:15pm in the Chapel. Sign up on our website.

Corporate Confession of Faith From Article 18 on The Righteous and The Wicked in the UBC Statement of Faith

At University Baptist Church, we, like Christians in all ages, use our Statement of Faith and other confessions like it in our public service to corporately declare before God, each other, and the world that these

are truths Scripture has revealed. In other words, our Statement of Faith summaries and synthesizes what we believe God has revealed in His Word, and reminds us that we are united as a church around these

truths.

We believe that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked; that only those who are justified through faith in the name of the Lord Jesus, and sanctified by the Spirit of our God, are truly righteous in His esteem; while all who continue in impenitence and unbelief are in His sight wicked, and under the curse; and this distinction holds among persons both in and after death.

Deliver us from evil Lord We sojourn in a broken world

Though evil hands give rise to war Remind us this is not our home We look to You, we look to You Sovereign King of all the earth

We look to You, we look to You In Your strength we will endure In Your strength we will endure

Deliver us from evil Lord Our hearts so quickly run astray

Temptation crouching at the door To turn us from the narrow way We look to You, we look to You

Christ the conquering Son of God We look to You, we look to You

Lord complete what You’ve begun Lord complete what You’ve begun

Deliver us from evil Lord The devil’s seeking to devour

With trembling hearts we hear his roar But Your strong arm will crush his pow’r

We look to You, we look to You Come and end his earthly reign We look to You, we look to You

Lord deliver us we pray

We look to You, we look to You You will come again to reign

We look to You, we look to You All the earth will bow in praise

Scripture Reading | Hebrews 3:7-19 All Scripture readings are taken from the English Standard Version.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’” Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
