sanctuary.

ELDER INVITATION

Following morning worship, the elders will be available to members

and guests for prayer and ministry. Simply come to the front of the

sanctuary where we will be glad to: pray for your personal needs, lead

you in receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, discuss church

membership.

May 3, 2015

ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS

We are glad to have you worship with us today. You

are worshiping with people who experience the

same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to

boast about except the God we worship. Please relax

and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and

desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely

led you here, you likely still have a number of im-

portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in

meaningful relationships or about your own personal or spiritual needs.

If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration

inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.

LATE BREAKING NEWS...Continued

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST MEMBERS

OF THE ROUNDTABLE 2014-2015

What is THE ROUNDTABLE? It is a place where the Sword of Truth is

not sheathed until the words of man bow before the Word of God.

Roundtable in Theology: Chr istian Almonrode, Gregory Boyle,

Blake Lindley, Daniel Nix, Tom Petroski, Jerry Pletcher, Jeremy Quick

Roundtable in Ethics: Nathan Dilley, Mason Lawrence, Jed Redeker ,

Daniel Tinney

These men of The Roundtable have successfully completed a one-year

training commitment in which they honed their skills at brandishing the

Sword of Truth in spiritual warfare. These men learned to stand for

Christ in an environment where mercy was scarce, challenges were unre-

lenting, pride was repeatedly left hemorrhaging, and the clashing of the

Sword of the Truth with the ideas of man was fierce.

Who are the men of The Roundtable? We are those who “though we

walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons

of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruc-

tion of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing

raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought

captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

I commend each of you for your love for God, His Word, His people, and

the people Jesus died for.

“Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like

fathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spot-

less, the blood of Christ.” 1 Peter 1:18-19 NASB

have any questions please visit with Ryan Polk or Curtis Winkle.

Book Recommendation

Cold Case Christianity by J Warner Wallace (Wallace will be speak-

ing at Trinity on June 7.) Christianity could be defined as a “cold

case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which

there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner

Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to

look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Includ-

ing gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he devel-

oped in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the power-

ful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity.
