Numbers of Interest:

Numbers do not tell us everything. Nor are they the final answer. But we can learn from what we see and what we can measure.

Our prayer is that this box will constantly show a growing church.

He Is Wonderful

WELCOME VISITORS!WELCOME VISITORS!

We are thankful you are with us today as we worship our God and Savior. Our prayer is that you will encounter Him today.

A nursery for small children is available in the east hall off the lobby.

What will you experience at Westview?

Praise through song. It is the tradition of our heritage to sing a cappella (without instruments) as we encourage everyone to be involved in uplifting praise.

We value the Bible. You will hear God’s Word read and all sermons will give the utmost respect and priority to Scripture.

We share the Lord’s Supper every week remembering Christ’s sacrifice that provides us forgiveness as we celebrate our salvation through Him.

We do not expect our guests to give financially to our work. We depend on the generous and godly giving of all Westview members to provide the funds needed to implement God’s plans for this church.

We invite you to stay for Bible classes following our worship time. We hope you have been blessed today!

Registration forms for the Northern Colorado Christian Camp are due TODAY.

Below are the details. Forms are on the table in the lobby. We are sending all the

information to Meadowlark tomorrow.

Opportunity to help the Garcias

As you know, Rafael was injured in a car

wreck last month. It will be several weeks

before he is able to return to work. In the

meantime, they are challenged with paying

the bills. If you would like to help them

please give your financial gift to Guy,

Terry, or one of the Elders. Thank you.

Psalm 20:7—Some trust in chari-

ots and some in horses, but we trust in

the name of the Lord our God.

Last week in my Sunday sermon I

gave you an assignment. I’m curious

as to how it has gone. When we con-

sidered Psalm 20 and, in particular,

verse 7 (above), I suggested that you

make this verse a meditative and guid-

ing verse for your week.

Psalm 20 is one of the royal

psalms, a praise and prayer on behalf

of the king. Their king will be protected

by “the saving might of God’s right

hand.” If God saves the king, then he

saves the nation.

The king is the commander-in-

chief. He is the top soldier. There are

many stories in the Old Testament

when the king would lead the army into

battle, riding in his chariot and risking

his own life. If God protected him, then

the entire army was secure.

So why not trust in chariots and

horses? It is the weaponry of a well-

equipped military unit. It seems to me

that the weapons of an army are criti-

cal to its success. In the modern day

army, soldiers train constantly in the

use of the array of weapons at their

disposal. In Ephesians 6, as Paul

described the armor of the “soldier” of

Christ, you can bet any soldier of that

day knew how to best use each piece

of equipment, both as a defensive (the

shield) and offensive weapon (the

sword).

With the rare exception, God

expected the troops of Israel to use the

weaponry they had. There might be

the occasional, extraordinary narrative

that says otherwise—the victory of

Gideon comes to mind. Outnumbered

a gazillion to three hundred, their

attack strategy was built on torches,

pots, and horns. They still had swords,

but they would be unsheathed later in

the attack. The reason their assault

weapons were so radically altered was

so that they would know the victory

was from God. That’s why the force

was cut from 22,000 to 300 in the first

place. Concerning the enemy’s camp,

God told Gideon, “I have given it into

your hand.” (Judges 7:9)

It is not as simple was what

resource, or resources, we have. It is,

“What do we trust?” Are we going to

fall prey to the temptation to depend

on our own strength and power, creat-

ing a delusion of invincibility? Or are

we going to depend on God, the One

that is truly Invincible? In the seven

letters to the churches Jesus dictated

to John in Revelation 2-3, two church-

es in chapter 3 seem to have it all. The

church at Sardis had a “reputation of

being alive.” The church at Laodicea

believed it was “rich and prosperous

and needed nothing.” Yet, Jesus said,

the church in Sardis was actually

“dead,” not alive, and the church at

Laodicea was, in fact, “wretched, pitia-

ble, poor, blind, and naked.”

Do we trust ourselves or in “the

name of the Lord our God?” To trust in

His name is to embrace the power of

the One of the Name. When the Ten

Commandments admonished the peo-

ple to not take the name of the Lord in

vain, there is meaning that included

the idea of , “Do not empty His name.”

Do not render the God of all power as

powerless in your own life.

I think you should go another

week with the assignment. And then

another. And then another.

What are we told to trust? What

should we actually trust?

Love one another,

Jay Wilson was a speaker this weekend at the Family Camp.

He will be teaching a combined adult class today in the

fellowship room. There will be no class in room #14.

The Ladies’ Prayer Group will meet

this Tuesday, the 27th, at 7:00 at the

Lininger’s house. All women are

welcome to come draw closer to

God and each other through prayer.

There is no Ladies’ Bible Study this

summer. We will resume in September.

The Caterpillars to Butterflies group

will not meet in July.

Everyone is invited to a come-and-go reception in honor of Audrey

Rutz’s retirement.

Bob Locke to be considered

as a Shepherd at Westview

Last week the leadership asked you to

pray about and consider Bob Locke to

be added to the leadership of this church

as an Elder. If you have comments,

concerns, or questions, please talk to

Barry or Vern. We are grateful that God

continues to lead us, raising up additional

leaders in our church family. Also pray

for Bob and Susan as we go through

this process.
