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.
