We ordained Pastor Jim Powell to the gospel ministry last Sunday, June 27th. Jim was saved in our church, baptized in our church and called to ministry in our church. He has diligently served our congregation for eighteen years, practicing the functions of ministry to evangelize, baptize, marry and bury God's people. He continues to be our worship leader and a NHCF elder.
A big thanks to Matt Greenwood, Lanny Dameron, Rob Hoelting and Fred Parry for installing the shelving in our new shed and for adding electrical for lighting and outlets. Now, we can move the various and sundry it ems from our crowded church building to the storage.
We’ve been introduced to AZOSA recently by Michael Calcagno, the local representative. Their mission is to inform the public about the truth of creation science over evolution. They sponsor talks at the Pinetop-Lakeside Senior Center on Saturdays.
Give It to God
We’ve had a lot of conversation in the body lately about giving over our worries and anxieties to God. We know that Jesus taught this, saying, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness…do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself … Matt. 6.33,34). However, we are constantly stressing out over the things that happen to us and the people to blame.
As one of our members says, “We just need to put it on the shelf and trust God.” Easier said than done And , yes , w e tend to keep pulling it down again . After all, “God helps those who help themselves” (Ben Franklin). Well, fine and dandy, but do you really trust your help to get it right?
Experience teaches us that when we grab a hold of a worry or an anxiety, we tend to strong arm it to our will. That’s not always good. In fact, the Bible is clear that the will of man is not good (Rom. 3.10 12). This is the reason t hat Jesus taught us to seek God’s will …” Thy will be done” (Luke 22.42).
Therefore, take your worries and anxieties and “put them up on the so to speak and trust in God our heavenly Father.
