The Book of Hebrews

Sunday Morning Elective Study

Doug Emmett will be teaching through the Book of Hebrews on Sunday morn-ings as a Sunday School Elective,

March 4 – May 27. The class will meet in the Library, room 101. The Book of Hebrews clearly proclaims the ministry of Jesus Christ as the “once for all” fulfillment of the laws and customs of Judaism. The author logical-ly demonstrates Christ's superiority, and adds to the theological truths the everyday instructions for faithfully following Him. Chapter 11 of Hebrews has its own recognition within the Church as it has become known as The Faith Hall of Fame! The class is open to any and

all who would like to attend and study this motivating book of the Bible. 13 chapters in 13 weeks is the goal!

“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”

Hebrews 12:14

Trinity International Missions Report “From Stateside to the Hill Tribe"

Recently, Jesse McAlexander met a 15-year old girl named Al-lanee from Nong Kiew Village. Allanee had to drop out of high school because her family could no longer pay for her school fees. Not long ago, a family in the Butler area decided that they wanted to start sup-porting a child at the Children's Ministry and asked Jesse if there was a specific child in need. Jesse knew just who needed the support. Because of this faithful family, Allanee will soon be able to attend the Chil-dren's Ministry where she will not only be able to attend school once again, but also be filled with the teaching of God's Word. Are you ready to step out and make a differ-ence in a child's life? Visit trinityinterna-tionalmissions.org to see how you can get involved!

And the King will answer them, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”

Matthew 25:40

The Art of Marriage, the latest video teaching from Family Life is designed to help cou-ples fully experience God’s design for marriage. The course brings together re-

spected and influential pastors and experts on marriage and fami-ly all in one setting. It also brings a fresh approach to a video learning by weaving together some of great engaging stories, real-life testimonies, man-on-the-street interviews and humorous vi-gnettes. The Art of Marriage will be offered here at NSCC on Sun-day mornings March 4 – May 27 at 9:00 in the dining room. Our goal for marriages will be to start some, to save some and to strengthen some!

Eleven NSCC’ers Building A House in Mexico Sunday, February 19 – Saturday, February 25

Early Sunday morning eleven NSCC short-term missionaries will be heading for Pittsburgh International Airport to fly to El Paso, Texas. Sunday will be spent get-ting situated, buying groceries and supplies and organizing transportation. On Monday morning they will enter Mexico to build a house in an outlying colonia near Juarez, Mexico. On Monday, the 15 x 22 concrete pad will be poured and the pre-fab construction of the walls and roof will begin. Tuesday through Thursday, the house will be assembled including a tar paper roof, stucco exterior, wired and dry-walled interior –including the installation of one door and two windows!

Pray daily for our group. The members are Tammy King, Michelle Cousins, Dale Riemer, Lisa Emmett, Doug Emmett, Kyle Emmett, Jake Klutinoty, Bill Croup, Isaac Huber, Erik Winters and Jon Ray, group leader. We say thanks to those who are going and to those who are sending. May the Lord be glorified in all we think, say and do!

“Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men”

Something I have come to gain an appreciation for over the past few years is the great pastime of fishing. Several years ago if you would have asked me to go fishing I would have told you it was boring and a waste of time, however there is not much I enjoy more than casting a line and landing those monster fish we catch at mo-raine. Last summer I found myself spending a lot of night out on the water with Walker. We did a lot of fishing, had some fun times and some serious talks. This week I found myself missing those times spent fishing. As I was reminiscing in my head, I couldn’t seem to get past Matthew 4:19 and this whole Mexico trip. Jesus said, you fish for striped bass and crappies, but I will teach you to fish for men and women. The work of the Church, the work of a Christian is to fish men and women out of the sea of sin. When Saul was con-verted to Paul his greatest concern was evangelism. He was not ashamed of the Gospel (Romans 1:14-16). We as Christians must have a desire to fish, whether it is building a house in Mexico to show Jesus love to a family or living out lives different from the world in Butler PA and bringing Glory to the father throughout our actions. You better be casting your line, because it’s the greatest work the church is called to do. -Jake
