Circumstances got you down?

If you missed Sunday's sermon, let me recommend that you listen to it online. Very good message for the earthly situations we are facing right now.

Read Matt. 6:25-34. This is the "Don't worry about tomorrow" command. It is so true. God knows what we need, when we need it.

As was suggested a couple of weeks ago, read a Psalm every day. Tonight he read Psalm 121 and 123.

Psalm 121 begins; "I lift my eyes to the hills; where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord; the Maker of heaven and earth." (Sound familiar - Praise You in This Storm)

Psalm 124 begins; "I lift my eyes to you"

Notice that in both, the psalmist is "lifing his eyes". We should focus our eyes upon God; lift them toward Him. Instead we lift our eyes to the thing of this world. We focus on the things of this world. DO WE EXPECT THE EARTH TO HELP US WITH OUR PROBLEMS; THE SAME EARTH THAT ONLY HAS CONTEMPT FOR GOD?

And always remember, we make time for the things that are most important to us. Where is your time spent?

Take the Challenge

Contribution from Tiffany...isn't she the best!!

The kids in Club 56 were challenged to memorize Matthew 25:34-36 this week. Below is the complete passage in Matthew that was the focus of Wednesday's lesson. I'm going to try to memorize this along with the kids. Will you do the same?

Matthew 25:34-40
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Baby Steps...Day by Day

From Tiffany:

Attached is Life Action's "Put Off, Put On" list. I'm committing to read 2-3 of these per day which will: 1- help me to pick up my Bible and read it daily, and 2- keep my mind focused on becoming more like Christ. Unless I flood my mind with the things of Christ, Satan's worldliness creeps in & tries to make a home. I'm kicking him out.


Philippians 4:8

8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
