PEOPLE CHANGE

Life involves many changes and different seasons. We become surprised by trouble when we’re experiencing a pleasant time of life and believe that everything will stay the same. But the only thing that won’t change is change. Just when you think, “Yes, I like this stage of life, I’d like to keep it just as it is,” things will change. We can enjoy the present stage, but don’t depend on it for contentment or happiness.

Only God doesn’t change and knowing that should give us security in life. Circumstances change. People change. But God never changes. We must focus on him, not on life when it comes to security and joy.

FLYFAITH: CHRISTMAS PARTY HIT

We had 36 plus a baby at our class party. Which is a good number considering all those who were sick. After everyone left about 11PM, Brenda and I said to each other as we were going to bed that we wish everyone could have had been here because it was a blast. Everyone got here between 6:30 and 7PM, we ate Italian. David did a fun Christmas team event and then Flyfaith performed for about 45 minutes. I think we collected about $200 for the Christmas family or mission. It was one of our best Christmas Partys ever.
. . . .In His Service - love, Joe

CLASS CHRISTMAS PARTY

In case you weren't in class Sunday, Brenda is being very secretive about plans for this year's Christmas Party. So just show up with a dessert in hand on Friday December 10th around 6:30-7pm and find out in person what the big deal is. You know it will be fun!

.

NO DIRTY SANTA THIS YEAR!

MONEY WILL BE COLLECTED AND USED TO SUPPORT A CHARITABLE OPPORTUNITY.

. . . . .Love, Joe and Brenda

OPERATION : "EXTEND OUR REACH"

We presented a mission opportunity to our class on 10/24 that would enable us to "Extend Our Reach" from our classroom to the other side of the world.
As a result, we are happy to introduce our sponsored child, Beletech Nigusse. She is 6 years old and lives in Ethiopia. Please assist us in praying for her and her family. We are excited that God has brought Beletech into our lives and is using us to help this child with her needs.

WHO DO YOU LOVE MORE?

Jesus said, “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me” (Matt. 10:37). So He demands to be first in the family. It’s only when we love Him more than family that we can really love our families in the highest, purest sense.
If you’re not a believer, you need to acknowledge your need of the Savior. Confessing that you have sinned against God, repent, and call on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Scripture says, “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13).

FUN ON THE FARM

The Steakley/Suggs Sunday School Class Fall Harvest gathering proved to be a great combination. Everyone met at the Darnell farm for an ole time church service and singing. A covered dish lunch provided a wonderful finishing touch to a beautiful morning. The food and fellowship were both outstanding. The Church seen on the right is a one room building on a slight hill in the wilderness. The Church and it's location made the service very special.

TIME RUNNING OUT ON CARDS

Please remember to continue distributing our Class cards as you go about your daily activities. This year long project will end the last part of December. The calendar on the back expires at that time. Please see Joe or Brenda if you need more cards, additional packets are available.

NEW VIDEO

Please click on the "VIDEOS" button above on far right and check out the sermon video from Bill and Paula's son, Mark Satterfield. This is from First Baptist Hendersonville on 10/17. Clicking on his photo will take you to the same video but with a much larger screen.

CLASS PROJECT: EXTEND OUR REACH

If you think the Adults 4 Christ Sunday School Class is a quiet, un-involved bunch of middle aged couples, hidden away in a forgotten part of the 2nd floor. Then we suggest you think again! Never a group to shy away from projects that are difficult, lengthy, or expensive. They are a group that doesn't stand around waiting for someone to present projects or missions for their efforts. This class is pro-active and rarely goes for very long without discussing the options for their next adventure. Sometimes participating in more than 1 at a time. Plus they have their own "class business card" and this website, which has had visits from over two hundred foreign countries and received written correspondence from seven.

Joe and Brenda Steakley believe that from their little 2nd floor room, this class can have an impact on the world, and on Sunday 10/24 they presented to their members another opportunity to prove it. An amazing class project that is long term, requires a monthly cash investment, shares Christ, follows scripture, and falls in line with Bro. Andre"s goal of increasing the number of missions for 2011.

26,600 small children die everyday from preventable conditions due to poverty. It would be difficult if not impossible to find another project that would further the misson of our Lord than this one.

BRO. ANDRE' RECOMMENDED READ

Radical : Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

WHAT IS JESUS WORTH TO YOU?

It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...

BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?

In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple—then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus.

Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment —a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

A NEED FOR DAILEY VICTORY

We face a daily struggle. But we also can experience daily victories. Our Lord calls us to live one day at a time. We will not have a single, definitive showdown with the devil in our lives—a time in which he is defeated and will never come back to accuse or torment us again—but we can experience a daily victory over the devil. We can say no to the temptations he presents today. We can use our faith to defeat his assault against our minds, bodies, and spirits today. We can pray against his efforts to destroy us today. A string of daily victories makes for a victorious life!

LADIES NIGHT OUT TUESDAY 10/12

Sips n Strokes

It is finally here. We will be venturing to our newest outing - Sips & Strokes in Hendersonville on Tuesday October 12 at 6:45 pm. This is a two hour painting.

Believe me you DO NOT have to be able to paint to do this. My sisters & our daughters did it in July & we had a blast. I know that Leanne & Pat Hale have done it as well. So if you are a little hesitant please talk to someone that has done it. The class is from 7 - 9. The fee of $25 is a real bargain since you will go home with a real masterpiece. I know we needed a bodyguard when we left since there were individuals who wanted to steal my masterpiece in the parking lot. Luckily Kenny came by with my camera to take pictures of us & he was there to make sure no one took our treasures.

You pay at the door. I will have to reserve the spots in advance, so please give me a tentative "yes or YES" (NO will not be accepted) so I can give them a good head count to reserve our spot.

Debbie Roach suggested we eat beforehand at Whichwich right around the corner from Sips n Strokes.
Looking forward to it. Please let me know if you have questions.

THINK ABOUT IT

Why should God let you into heaven? If your answer includes words such as try my best, church, believe in God, Sunday school, teach, or give, chances are that you still haven’t come to grips with the simple truth that salvation is by faith alone.
Let me ask the question another way. What are you trusting in to get you into heaven? Is it Christ plus something? Or can you say with confidence that your hope and your trust are in Christ and Christ alone?

LADIES NIGHT OUT!!! TUESDAY - 8/31

Hey Everyone,
Trying to plan a movie night for those that would like to do it. I will be out of town next week & can't do it then. What about Tuesday August 31 to go see Eat Pray Love? Can any of you do it then?

Looking forward to it.

GOD SAVED YOU BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU

The sole reason that God sent His Son, Jesus, to this world to die for your sins and mine was because He loved us. God forgives us, grants us eternal life, and gives us the gift of His Holy Spirit out of His immeasurable love and grace. There is no other reason. Many people seem to believe that God saves a man or woman because of the person’s good works or service. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There isn’t any amount or any type of service that can earn salvation. The apostle Paul made this very clear when he wrote to the Ephesians: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Eph. 2:8–9). Even the faith by which we believe God forgives us and saves us is a gift of God that flows from His love!

THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST

Since “Christ is the Head of every man,” He is uniquely the Head of the church as its Savior and Lord, having redeemed and bought it with His own blood. But in His divine authority Christ is Head of every human being, believer and nonbeliever alike. “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth,” Jesus declared (Matt. 28:18). Those who willingly submit to His authority are the church, and those who rebel against His authority are the world.

THE PURSUIT OF TRUE HAPPINESS WILL LEAD YOU ULTIMATELY TO JESUS CHRIST

The fifth chapter of Matthew records the words of Jesus regarding happiness. He was an extremely happy man, and His inner joy no doubt came partly from relationships. He had a group of friends who loved Him, and He was endowed with the ability to speak and to heal. If you have a ministry, you know what great joy can be derived from it. Yet over time, the ministry of Jesus Christ shrank. Fewer people followed Him, until the night of the Last Supper when there were just His twelve disciples close by. Knowing that He was about to die and witness the desertion of even His closest friends, Jesus still was able to tell them, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11).
Jesus, with everything about to come undone, was still able to tell His disciples that He wanted them to be joyful. Can you imagine a man about to die the most terrible of deaths talking of His joy and gladness? Either He must have been insane, or He had an incredible resource of happiness about which our world knows very little. The verses in Matthew chapter five explain His joy, and His words can change our lives. It may not immediately change the way you outwardly live, but it will help you find the inner peace and happiness that makes it possible to find joy in the midst of trial.
When the business in which you have invested your life savings fails, you can still find joy. When the child in whom you have invested your life turns south instead of north, there will still be gladness. When people begin to reject you and turn against you, you can still find happiness in Him. As we work through this study, may each of us discover the joy of knowing the Lord, having our sins forgiven, and being confident that He has a plan for our lives, and heaven is on the agenda. May we find happiness as we look to the words of Jesus Christ in the Beatitudes.

FORGIVENESS : 2 LIES AND 3 TRUTHS

There are two lies about forgiveness in marriage that couples fall into on a regular basis.

Lie #1) If I forgive, it will communicate what they did was okay.
Lie #2) If I forgive, then they will get away with the wrongs they have done.

Both statements are lies that the enemy uses to drive a wedge between a married couple. The truth is that forgiveness does not remove all the results of sin and also does not remove all the painful emotions. To forgive someone is not based on how you feel. If I made the choice to get out of bed this morning solely on how I felt, I would have bed sores.
Three Truths about forgiveness:

Truth #1) Forgiveness does not remove all the results of sin.
Truth #2) Forgiveness does not remove all of my painful emotions.
Truth #3) Forgiveness is a commitment to accept the person in spite of what he or she has done.

What if we were intentional in teaching couples that the climate of the home should be forgiveness and that we should strive daily in righting relationships? When you think about it, forgiveness is not an occasional event. It's a lifestyle. Forgiveness is the key reflection of the gospel in our home while joy is the key ingredient of the home. You can't have joy without forgiveness.

CLASS PRAYER REQUEST

From Kim Morrow: Kenny's sister, Denise Morrow, has been in the hospital in Memphis (Delta Medical Center) since March 24. We just saw her a week before and she was doing great, however, something happened and her medicine level got messed up and for the last week of the hospitalization she has not done well. She is severely depressed right now. Thanks, Kenny & Kim Morrow

HE IS NOT HERE, BUT HE HAS RISEN

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? “He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying that "the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” And they remembered His words, and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
LUKE 24:1-9

CRUCIFIXION MORNING

As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, “If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe. And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go. Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.” Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You rightly say that I am.” And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.” LUKE 22:66–71

When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.” The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, offering Him sour wine, and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” Now there was also an inscription above Him, “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.” LUKE 23:33-38

THE FLOWERING CROSS

This is an especially striking and beautiful way to symbolize the new life that emerges from the death of Good Friday. Before the Easter Sunday service, the spikes and black drape are removed and the cross is covered with real flowers and the top draped in white. There are various ways to do this. At Grace we choose to use a chicken wire mesh over the cross and have each member place flowers on the cross as they arrive at church on Easter morning.

YOUTH FUND RAISER

This Sunday 3/28 after Church, is the Youth Fund Raiser Dessert Auction. This proved last time to be a great money-maker and a lot of fun as well. Mike Suggs will be this years auctioneer and the youth will provide and serve a spaghetti dinner to each in attendance. Please remember to bring your best dessert if possible, if not your second best will be almost as good. A chocolate pie sold for $100.00 last time. Is it possible that your dessert can break that record?

JESUS UNDERSTANDS

Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we are. But he did not sin! So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help. (Heb. 4:15–16 cev)

dear God

This book written by our Pastor, features letters to God written by eight - year old Tyler Doherty, who suffers from cancer, as well as from others in Tyler's life who write letters to God
.
Each letter is followed by words from the Bible and a short reflection on the meaning behind the letter.
.
Although Tyler's cancer finally takes him home to heaven, the influence of his letters to God activity spread to his classmates, his neighborhood and beyond as many others learn to share their deepest needs by writing their prayers as letters to god.
.
Perhaps reading this book will encourage you to write your own letters to God.

BUCKETS OF HOPE WORKSHOP

Wednesday afternoon a large number of Grace members demonstrated their love for the Lord's work by showing up for a Buckets of Hope Workshop. There were only 55 plastic buckets available to pack because all the local retailers that sell them were out of stock. There is enough food to load 110 buckets. So we wait until the backorders come in. The final cut-off date for shipping is March 19th.

Bro. Andre' conducted a prayer service over the 55
that were packed and ready for shipping.

PRAYER: YOUR OWN LETTER TO GOD

When was the last time you wrote to your Father?



Prayer is powerful! It can be both rewarding and challenging. Many people simply don't understand the reason for prayer or just don't know how to go about it. God does nothing but in answer to prayer. There’s no telling how much the world has changed as the result of the silent prayers of Christians throughout history. God’s hand moves when people pray. Through prayer, God greatly multiplies our efforts. This book was inspired by the motion picture, Letters to God and was written by our own Dr. Andre' Dugger. If improving the quality of your prayer time is important to you, there is no better way than having your pastor tutor you in your own home. Its easy to imagine him speaking directly to you as you read his words. If you don't feel confident in your prayers, if you often find yourself at a loss for words, or if you feel uncomfortable asking questions about prayer, then you need this book. If your prayer life is great but you love Andre's sermons because you connect with the language in his presentations, you need this book also! Plus how often do you have the author available afterward to answer any questions that arise during the read? Before writing your first letter to God there is one question you may have never considered until now.
.........."CAN YOU DANCE IN A LETTER?"
In closing, I would like to offer one last bit of advise - "ask for an autographed edition".

Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews

.

An Epitaph for All to Read

“You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above” (Jn. 19:11). In the moment of His final sacrifice on the Cross, Christ had above His head the epitaph in Hebrew, the language by which God revealed Himself to man: Yeshua haNotzri, Melech haYehudim. It was also in Latin, the language of the Roman Empire, representing authority: Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum. Finally, it was in Greek, the international language of commerce, representing universality: Iesous ho Nazoraios ho basileus ton Ioudaion. In English: “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews” (Jn. 19:19). Thus our Father in heaven chose this epitaph in the three languages of the Church instituted by His Son, representing revelation, authority, and universality.
