2017 Theme:

“In Christ” – Romans 8:1-5

To our Visitors: We welcome you here this morning and hope that you will make plans to come back at your earliest

convenience. Presently, our congregation has no minister, elders, or deacons. We are prayerfully working toward that goal. We do not go beyond the limitations and instructions set forth for the one

and true Church. If you have any questions as to our practice or beliefs, please do not hesitate to ask any of the men of

the congregation. We will be happy to answer any and all questions you may have. We hope that your time with us will be pleasant and uplifting.

A Four-Letter Word All Children Need to Learn – Part 2 There’s the four-letter word God wants every child to learn – “OBEY”! Especially your parents! Why? Because God said, “This is right.” It’s just the way it’s supposed to be. It’s not right and it’s not healthy and it’s not good for kids or parents or families or schools or societies when children are allowed to disregard authority. Children should obey their parents not only because it is right, but because that directive has been revealed by God – “Honor your father and mother” was the very centerpiece of what we know as the Ten Commandments (found in Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16). Do you not find it more than a little noteworthy that when Moses came down from Sinai with two tablets of stone holding ten fundamental commands, that smack dab in the middle of the list was the command to honor your father and mother?! That is a central part of God’s Old Testament revelation to mankind, reiterated repeatedly in the New Testament. You don’t really respect God if you don’t respect your parents. And then, obey your parents because there is a reward – “the first commandment with promise: ‘that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.’” This may not be literally true in every child’s life – obedient children sometimes suffer and even die. But what is always true is that God will honor and bless every child who learns and puts into practice this four-letter word: OBEY! The four-letter word God would have every child to learn. Are you teaching it to your child?

like to help carry bags to patrons, your help is needed at 10:00 a.m. on Monday,

November 20 or Monday, December 11 at the food pantry.
