Thank You We have come to the belief that God will sometimes take our feet out from under us just to show us how he will take care of us. In the last two weeks since Richey's sur-gery, the outpouring of love, support, and help from our church family has just blown me away. Thank you so much for the prayers, food, gifts, and encouragement throughout it all.

Love to all, Richey, Barbie, and the kids

Bob’s Thoughts...

Bought With A Price

“You are bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

I Corinthians 6:20

But what was the price? Who paid it? Jesus did. Christ paid the price and bought you! The exchange rate was astronomical; it cost Him His life. That’s what the cross is all about. Christ paid the ultimate price for you and me; He died for us. He sacrificed His own precious life to pay the price for our sins and deliver us from Satan’s dominion. But that’s not all - God raised us up together with Him so that we might live with Him forevermore! You are God’s posses-sion by virtue of redemption. Now, you belong to Him. You are His prized possession and He is glad to have you. Just think, we were spiritually dead; our life had been ruined by the degradation and the corruption of sin. We were damaged goods and worthless in the eyes of the world. But to the Lord, we were worth dying for. He proved it by going to the Cross with our sins. He restored us to be whole in Him. That’s why Christ is known as our Savior and Lord. He is our life, our all. Now, who is Christ to you? Do you remember to thank Him for being your Savior? He paid the ultimate price for you. Christ gave His life for you so that He could live His life through you. But it requires an exchange. We must exchange our life for His. We must pick up our cross and follow after Him. Our life, in exchange for His life. Have you made the exchange yet? If you will trust in Him, He will provide for you. You are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Have a Great Week! Bob

This brings the 2015 total to 713! Watchmen on the Wall Don't forget to sign up for our Watchman on the Wall program which will begin again next month. Please sign up even if you have already been a Watchman. Being a Watchman gives our mature members who don't have children an opportunity to mentor and disciple one or two children and their families. All participating children will be paired up with new Watchman for the next two-year cycle. Of course, if you have been a Watchman, the new cycle doesn't mean you can't continue your relationship with your current child! It just means your "family" is expanding! Forms are available in the office or at the ta-ble in the Fellowship Hall. Save the Date Leigh Anne Touhy, from the movie The Blind Side, is the scheduled speaker for the Christian Homes & Family Services Champion for Children Dinner in Tyler, Texas on November 17th.
