DEAR FRIENDS,   9/21/2020
1 Peter 1:13-21 (NIV) Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.  For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
 
The worldwide crisis continues to impact us.  However, we are planning on having a Sunday Worship Service at 10:45 am this Sunday, September 27.  We will have a guest Speaker: Rev Jim Harp & his wife Carla.  I hope that you can attend our service or watch on Facebook so that you can become acquainted with them.  We will continue to broadcast on Facebook until it is completely safe.  If you desire to attend our service, we have masks which will be available for all.  We also have hand sanitizer.  We will continue to keep our distance from each other. We will not have refreshments available this week.
 
We are tentatively planning to have a Senior’s lunch on Tuesday, September 29 at noon if the virus danger continues to decrease.  RSVP if you would like to attend.  772-283-4484.  We will follow safety guidelines in place.
 
The Word of God reminds us that we are to be change agents here on earth while we are waiting for Heaven!  I would also encourage you to read 3 to 5 Psalms each day & meditate on them.  They will remind you who God is & His promises to never leave us or forsake us.
 
God does not give us a spirit of fear.  2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (fear), but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. Let’s trust Him together as we walk through this valley of the shadow of death while fearing no evil.
 
We have a sharing program.  If you have a need or shortage of supplies, please call me or the church office 772-283-4484 or my cell 772-349-4941.  Likewise, if you have extra supplies and are willing to share let us know as well.  Let’s work and pray together for the Glory of God!
 
The goal for this Sunday, September 27, is to do the sermon on the “Reaching our world! By Activating Our Spiritual Gifts”  Please take the necessary precautions to be healthy but do them in faith not in fear.  May God surround you with His Peace!     
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!
I am doing a live segment on Facebook during the week to bring encouragement from God’s Word.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU!                     Pastor Jim
p.s. Other scripture to bring comfort and hope!  Psalm 23, 46, 91, 103, Matthew 5-8, 11:28-30, Acts 4:23-37, Romans 5, 8, 2 Corinthians 4 & 5, Ephesians 2 & 6, Philippians 4:4-9, Titus 2:11-3:8, 1 Peter 5.
Acts 4:10-12 (NIV) then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is "'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone'. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
NEXT WEEK: SEPTEMBER 27, SERMON SERIES: IT’S TIME TO OPEN OUR HEARTS &
CHANGE OUR WORLD!

AN OASIS OF HOPE & LOVE IN THE DESERT OF LIFE

IN 2020 WE WILL:
REJOICE IN GOD’S PAST PROVISIONS,
REAFFIRM OUR TRUST IN GOD’S WORD,
REACH OUT TO THE LOST AND LONELY, &
REVEL AS WE ANTICIPATE CHRIST’S SOON RETURN!
 
Lamentations 3:21-26 (NIV) Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
 
Philippians 3:17-21 (NIV) Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body.
 
OUR CHURCH WILL BE OPEN THIS SUNDAY
AT 10:30 AM FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO ATTEND!

Scripture Meditation Reading: Romans 12:1-5 (NIV) Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.  Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

John 17:13-19 (NIV) 13 "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of My joy within them. 14 I have given them Your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. 18 As You sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
 
Memory Verses: John 17:18 As you sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world.  John 20:21-23 (NIV) 21 Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you." 22 And with that He breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
 
PRAYER: GOD USE ME!

NEXT STEPS TODAY AND THIS WEEK ARE TO…
❑ Memorize or meditate on Romans 10:13-15 (NIV).
Memory Verses: Romans 10:13-15 (NIV) "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
