Today’s Sunday School Lesson: The Life of Elisha – II Kings 7
The lepers discovery and Elisha’s prophecy fulfilled. The officer assisting the king found the prophecy of the famine lifting incredible. His retort expressed his utter disbelief that God would or could do this. Elisha replied that the officer would see the miracle with his own eyes; it would indeed take place. But because of his unbelief he would not experience the blessing.
Today’s Sermon: I Corinthians 2:1-16 - The World’s Wisdom vs. God’s Spirit
The wisdom of this world leads to futility and failure, especially morally. Moral failure leads to disappointment, disillusionment and depression. To violate morals is to spiritually come apart at the seams which will in turn lead to emotional breakdowns and cause hurt and pain to ourselves and others. The wisdom of God brings these things into balance with a life that is spiritually fulfilling and helpful and loving to others

Meeting Invitation
I was telling a friend about my enrollment in a weight-loss program and how excited I was about the meetings. "Sounds great," she said. "I'm almost tempted to join too." "Well, next time I go," I replied, "I'll take you along." "Okay," my friend responded, and then she asked, "Do they serve refreshments?"

The Truth Shall Set You Free:
“The saints at the same time as they are righteous are also sinners; righteous because they believe in Christ, whose righteousness covers them and is imputed to them, but sinners because they do not fulfill the Law, and not without licentiousness, and are like sick men under the care of a physician; they are sick in fact but healthy in hope and in the fact that they are beginning to be healthy, that is, they are “being healed.” They are people for whom the worst possible thing is the presumption that they are healthy, because they suffer a worse relapse.” Martin Luther, “Luther’s Works”

Today’s Sunday School Lesson: The Life of Elisha - I Kings 6-7
A famine resulted in Elisha’s life being threatened by King Joram. Joram did not realize that Elisha was the solution to his problems and not the source. “May God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today” (6:31).
Today’s Sermon: I Corinthians 1:18-31 - From Nobodies to Somebodies
The “wisdom of the world” does not lead to God but to moving away from God. Humanism will never place any emphasis on anything other then man as god. We dare not trust the sweetest frame of this world, but only to wholly lean on Jesus’ name. The world through its own self-defined wisdom cannot find God, and God is very happy to save us with a message that the world finds foolish, yet God reveals is profound. The cross is the power of God that saves us from ourselves.
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Acts 2:38 - An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, "STOP! Acts 2:38!" (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.) The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a Scripture to you." "Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an Ax and Two 38's!"

Today’s Sermon: Our Place in this World I Corinthians 1:10-25
The Corinthians were certainly status conscious and concerned about their own position in life based on their emphasis of who baptized them. Their pride caused them to place their own thoughts above the truth of the gospel they had been taught. They were replacing the truth with their own understandings; therefore Paul would bring them back to the cross so that they would understand where they had come from and that they were still under its shadow.

The Seven Laws of Parenting
- The later you stay up, the earlier your child will wake up the next morning.
- For a child to become clean, something else must become dirty.
- Toys multiply to fill any space available.
- The longer it takes you to make a meal, the less your child will like it.
- The surest way to get something done is to tell a child not to do it.
- The gooier the food, the more likely it is to end up on the carpet.
- Backing the car out of the driveway causes your child to have to go to the bathroom.

Flu Prayer
A young boy called the pastor of a local "corner" church to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who had been very ill with the flu. The pastor knew the family and was aware they had been attending another church down the road. So the pastor asked, "Shouldn't you be asking Brother Simon down the road to come by to pray with your mom?"
The young boy replied, "Yeah, but we didn't want to take the chance that he might catch whatever it is that Mom has."
Today’s Sunday School Lesson: The Life of Elisha: Gehazi’s Greed I Kings 5:19-27
Gehazi became greedy of what Naaman had offered to give Elisha. Evidently he justified his greed by reasoning that since Naaman was an Aramean, a natural enemy of Israel, he should at least be taken advantage of. His greed led to his downfall.
Today’s Sermon: A Quilting Party Gone Bad I Corinthians 1:1-17
We are elected, enriched and established in our Christian lives here in Colorado Springs, having the good fortune to live in a place of beauty with a large Christian presence and a great deal of prosperity and grace surrounding us, just in the scenery and climate alone. However, this also is a breeding ground for flaming carnality. God doesn’t ask each church to be a quilt of one pattern or color; He loves diversity, but the diverse parts of the quilt make up one whole. There can be no compromise on our essential “quiltness.”

Paul traveled from Athens to Corinth during his second missionary journey and ministered to the city there for 18 months. During that time a church was formed that became the example of worldly and compromising Christianity for all time. In reality the church at Corinth was not all that different from the church in Colorado Springs. A beautiful place where people were wealthy and prosperous forms a fertile breeding ground for unhealthy Christianity.

A Nation’s Test
The moral decline of a nation can be traced back to its religious beliefs. Pagan societies have come and gone. Rome, at one time an invincible force, crumbled from within because of moral decay. Countless individuals with godly moral values think their opinions do not count for much. However, they are very wrong. How does a nation – America or any other – become spiritually torn and tattered? It is simple; the people who are the very heart of any country’s life give up and give in to mounting pressure to compromise what they know is right. In real life, a very small percentage of people want certain godless statutes installed. Yet if a nation’s majority wavers in confusion, more than likely these issues will face little debate. We must stand for what we believe, asking God for His direction morally and spiritually. Charles Stanley

Two men working in a factory were talking. "I know how to get some time off," said one. "How are you going to do that?" "Watch," he said, and climbed up on a rafter. The foreman asked what he was doing up there, and the man replied. "I'm a light bulb." "I think you need some time off," the foreman said, and the first man walked out of the factory. After a moment, the second man followed him. "Where do you think you're going?" the foreman shouted. "I can't work in the dark," he said.

We need cleaning families for the summer months.
We are currently preparing a collection of music with an Independence Day theme. They will hopefully be available next Sunday. Our thanks to the Campeau’s for getting this together. Lisa will be recuperating from her surgery next Sunday so we have prepared the service ahead of time. Because of Amy’s surgery she is also unable to be here today. Be in prayer for her. Greg, Ruth and the grandkids are heading to Missouri today, so please pray for them.
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Shoe Shopping
A man walks into a shoe store, and tries on a pair of shoes. "How do they feel?" asks the sales clerk. "Well they feel a bit tight," replies the man. The assistant promptly bends down and has a look at the shoes and at the man's feet. "Try pulling the tongue out," the clerk says. "Well, theyth sthill feelth a bith tighth."
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
The Life of Elisha: II Kings 4 The Widow’s Oil
A widow of one of the sons of the prophets was in debt and her two sons about to be taken from her and sold by her creditors, as by law they had power to do (Lev. 25:39). She implored the prophet’s assistance. Inquiring into her circumstances he learned that she had nothing but a pot of oil. This Elisha caused (In his absence, II Kings 4:5) to multiply until the widow had filled with it all the vessels she could borrow.
Today’s Sermon
Who do men say that Jesus is? There is evidence that God exists, but who is He? Is He a person? Has He revealed Himself to us? Did He show us proof of His existence? IS JESUS GOD?
