THEIR MISSION NEEDS OUR PRAYERS

GOD WANTS TO KNOW YOU !

God desires to be as close to you as he was to Christ,
so close that he can literally speak through you and
all you need do is translate.

God desires to be so close that tuning in to him is like putting on headphones.

So close that when others sense the storm and worry,
you hear his voice and smile.

SEARCH AND RESCUE

The nature of God is to seek and to save sinners. From the opening pages of human history, it was God who sought the fallen couple in the Garden. In Ezekiel 34:16 God says, “I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick.” The Almighty was portrayed as a Savior throughout the Old Testament (Ps. 106:21; Isa. 43:11; Hos. 13:4), so it is appropriate that when Christ entered the world of human beings as God in human flesh, he was known first of all as a Savior.
Even Jesus’ name was divinely chosen to be the name of a Savior. An angel told Joseph in a dream, “You shall call His name Jesus, for it is he who will save His people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21). The very heart of all redemptive teaching is that Jesus entered this world on a search-and-rescue mission for sinners. That truth is what characterizes the gospel as good news.
But it is good news only for those who perceive themselves as sinners. The unequivocal teaching of Jesus is that those who will not acknowledge and repent of their sin are beyond the reach of saving grace. All are sinners, but not all are willing to admit their depravity. If they do, he becomes their Friend (cf. Matt. 11:19). If they will not, they will know him only as Judge (cf. Matt. 7:22).

CLASSMATE BIRTHDAY

Saturday December the 5th is Rick Davis birthday.

CLASS CHRISTMAS PARTY

I thought I would mention our Christmas Party to all of you and let you be thinking about a possible date. Please check your calendars and see about December 18th or 19th. We can decide or even take a vote on Sunday. The 19th might be interfering with some family events that some members are having (couple have mentioned to me).
If these do not work, we can look at the 11th. We are having Joe's group from his office on the 12th, but I could possibly make it happen.

Love ya, Brenda

EYES ON THE FATHER

It does us much more good to think about God as it does to think about anyone or anything else. God wants us to begin and end our prayers thinking of him. The more we focus up there, the more inspired we are down here.
Magnify. When you magnify an object, you en-large it so that you can understand it. When we magnify God, we do the same. We enlarge our awareness of him so we can understand him more. This is exactly what happens when we worship—we take our minds off ourselves and set them on God. The emphasis is on him.

THE GIFT

One of the most precious gifts God has given us is His Word, the Bible. Wrapped in the glory and sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ and delivered by the power and ministry of His Spirit, it is a treasured gift—the gift that keeps on giving, because the Giver it reveals is inexhaustible in His love and grace.

CLASS VISITOR!

We have been blessed again with another class visitor.

Phil Keathley has been in attendance the last two weeks. He already fits right in and appears like he has been with us a long time. His contributions during the class study time have been a welcome part of our worship.

LADIES NIGHT OUT!

A few of us were hoping for a LADIES NIGHT OUT before we get into the Thanksgiving & Christmas rush time. Is anyone up for a pottery night? Just wondering if Tues 11/17 or Thurs 11/19 would work with you guys? My favorite place to do it is in Green Hills - Brush Fire Pottery - 4004 Hillsboro Rd. If you are have never gone to a paint your pottery shop it is a lot of fun. You walk in and there are shelves full of ceramic pieces that have been already fired once. You pick out what you want to paint. You can pick a $10 mug or plate or a $50 Neyland Stadium. The choice of what to paint will be the hardest part of the night. You then add a $6 paint fee ($3 on Thursday night). You do not have to be creative to do it. I think it will be a good opportunity to sit and talk and laugh with each other. We would need to meet by 5:30 to get there. Please let me know if you can join us and if Tuesday or Thursday would work better for you

NO EXCUSES

The devil continually tempts us to justify our sins and to reason away our faith. He constantly entices us to respond to our emotions—especially fear, anger, and hatred—rather than to respond with faith. Don’t listen to him! Choose to respond with your faith.
When you respond with faith in Jesus Christ, you put your adversary on the run.

CLASSMATE BIRTHDAY

Peggy Paul's birthday is Wednesday November 4th.
