We opened with the song “How I Love You” then greeted one another in Christian love. Pastor Mark Abney used Luke 12:41-48 as the text for his message The Wise and the Fool. In this parable that Jesus told, we see wise and foolish servants. When Jesus comes back, some will be rejected and some accepted. Depending on what you do with Jesus will determine your final destination – heaven or hell. Those who confess Jesus as savior will inherit eternal life in heaven, but those who reject Jesus are destined for hell. The Bible is God’s written word and is clear on this. We should believe it and follow it.
Our prayer concerns for this week include Cooper Ayler, Pat Kampe, Carla Smith, Malachi Yoder and Jerry Reiners. Please lift them up in your prayer time.
Wednesday in Gospel Kids our lesson was “Jesus Was Dedicated”. Our story point was Simeon and Anna worshiped Jesus as the Messiah. Children ages kindergarten through sixth grade are welcome to join us on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 – 7:00 pm.
Celebrate Recovery continues Sunday evenings starting with supper at 5:30 pm, large group worship at 6:30 and small group at 7:30 pm. Last week the lesson was SANITY. Some of the gifts we receive when we believe that our Higher Power, Jesus Christ, has the power to restore us to SANITY are S – strength, A – acceptance, N – new life, I – integrity, T – trust, and Y- your higher power, Jesus. “Anyone who comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.
