Scripture MALACHI 3:16-18 NKJV

Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name. “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them, As a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

“Connecting” Series Hi, I’m Gary Parks, Oregon Conference’s Relational Min-istries Director. In these final days of earth’s history, we feel a growing urgency to “get serious” with our Christian experience, but we don’t always know where to start or how to make a fresh difference in our world for Jesus. Together, I would like to help take away the vagueness out of Christianity and give you and Tabernacle Church — specific, easy-to-

use tools that will help you mature your walk with Christ.

The skills that we will cover are all things that Jesus deemed important, and they are skills which will leave you “armed and dangerous” for the

Gospel. My Sabbath messages and our topics for discussion begin as:

Jan. 27: Only One Burning Bush

Feb. 10: Two Ears and One Mouth

Feb. 24: Hearing God’s Voice

Then, after each morning message, I encourage you to join me for an

extended Sabbath blessing as we learn more about Connecting —

Seminar’s Interactive Lunch: 12:30-1:30 PM

Easy Hands-On Practice: 1:30 PM

I’m excited to have the opportunity to come and share with you these

tools in a very meaningful and practical way! ~ Blessings, Gary Parks
