Fifth Sunday Singspiration

Sunday, August 29th, is a fifth Sunday, and our church is hosting the regular "Singspiration." This is a great time for our various churches to get together, sing, share and have fellowship. We need the Christian community to pull together and love one another.

MEDICAL NEEDS

Our security team is requesting any of our congregation that may have medical issues that we need to be aware of for emergency purposes please fill out a medical card to be put on file and kept confidential with our medical personnel. Thank you.

NEW PRAYER ROOMS

Everyone is in need of prayer, and there are times when nothing else will bring comfort. Our church has put in place two "prayer rooms" off the chapel platform at the prompting of the Spirit. At the end of our church service, as the Spirit leads you, come forward for prayer. We're here as a family to pray and care for you.

NHCF Shepherding Groups

Attend a Shepherding Group. There are three: Terry and Pastor Tom's, at our church; Roger Brown's, in his home, and Chris Lewis's in his home. Right now, Terry and Tom's group is reviewing "The Life of David"; Roger's is reviewing the book of James, and, Chris's group is studying through the scriptures to discern what a disciple does.

The King

The Scripture tells us that Jesus is the King (Rev.19.13,16). When Jesus is questioned by Pilate, the Roman governor, He affirms that He is a king, but says, "My kingdom is not of this world," but at the same time, Jesus will rule over the world for a thousand years in the day of judgment (John 18.36; Rev. 20.6).

Kings and kingdoms are foreign to Americans. We left England in part, and Europe also, to get away from the king's rule. The feudal system is an anathema to us; nevertheless, God's government is not a constitutional republic. It's a kingdom, where the King rules.

Why do you think that much of human history, on any continent, and in any culture is the kingdom model? It's because that's God's design, and men intuitively gravitate to God's plan and purpose. The problem, however, is that the kingdom model is corrupted by men.

In heaven, where God sits on the throne of the "King of the universe," His will is absolute. God does not gather together the heavenly host and have them vote on things as a democratic body. No. God speaks and it is so. No debate, no voting.

The great difference between man's kingdom and God's is that "God is love," and He wants our salvation and well-being. God does not "lord it over us" as do human kings. His authority, even though it is perfect, is metered by His mercy and grace.

Therefore, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt.6.10).
