The new church addition is going up. PTL! And, as it goes up so do the costs of construction. You may have noticed the "Giving Thermometer" in our entryway. Thanks so much for all that you've given to this point. We as a church are grateful. Now, each of us need to prayerfully consider raising the thermometer with our contributions. God Bless.
Our church body is invited to go out into the new addition through the kitchen door and take up a marker and write a Scripture on the inside wall. Your choice…"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable to teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness" (12 Tim.3.16).
We're sad to have Mike and Celina Ayo moving to Colorado; we'll miss them. But, we are joyful that Celina is enrolled in Bible School, and that they're entering Christian ministry as the Lord leads.
We're happy to remember our high school graduates today: Emogene Cooper, Cyrus Cooper, Anna Lewis, and Divinity Rapp from eight grade. God bless you and keep you in faith and His good favor.
Our Women's Bible Study meets on Thursday mornings at 10:00. They are finishing up their Acts study this week, and they will begin and a new study on "Discerning the Voice of God."
It's Pentecost, the church's birthday.
On this day, 2,000 years ago, the fledgling church was meeting in the upper room when the promise our Lord came upon them. "And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent, rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting..." (Acts 2.2). Then the fire of the Holy Spirit fell upon them with power.
Too often in the excitement of what happened to them, and the sign of tongues, we miss the message: "We hear them in our own tongues (languages) speaking of the mighty deeds of God" (2.11).
The church was born, not by the hands of men, nor by our power, but it was born by the "mighty deed of God."
Pentecost is the 50th day after our Lord's resurrection, but it's also the Jewish feast of Shavuot (The Feast of Weeks) which is celebrated 50 days after Passover. Jesus was sacrificed at Passover like the lamb, and after His ascension, His promise of the Holy Spirit came with new life. So, at Shavuot, the Jews celebrated the beginning of the grain harvest...new life.
We should take joy in the Church of God. For our heavenly Father, in His great love for us, ordained that we should be His body on earth. He ordained that His kingdom should come and His will be done in the congregation of those who believe and trust in Him.
We are the church: "And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul..." (Acts 2.32a).
