Today’s Sunday School Lesson
The Book of Jude: Contending Earnestly for the Faith
Directions for Contending: vs. 17-25, Remember Your Instructions; vs. 17-19
Jude advises them to remember the teachings of the apostles regarding those who would mock the truth. Paul did this in major portions of his writings. Peter had said the same thing in II Peter 3:3. When a teacher starts to make light of the teachings on the return of Christ an alarm ought to go off.

The Truth Shall Set You Free

Today’s Sermon
Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul’s Prayer for Us
Verses 15-23 are all one sentence. The ideas flow together in one outburst of love and concern, not just for the Ephesian church, but for all believers of all time. We are contained in this prayer. The blessings Paul prays are ours already and can be realized more fully through knowing God as personally and intimately as possible. This prayer reveals how well Paul knew God and God new Paul.

Scripture Reading
I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify Thy name for evermore. Father, glorify Thy name. Then there came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 86:12; John 12:28; Romans 15:6
We Will Glorify p. 472
O How He Loves You and Me p. 513

Pastor Greg A. Chandler
A local church that is Baptist in doctrine and unaffiliated with any national denomination. We have been worshiping the Lord since our forming in 1988. Some of our members have fellowshiped in this and a previous church for over 50 years. We are families who have come together to try to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We support 3 missionaries and try to help as many as we can while pursuing our prime directive as a church to teach the gospel and train followers of Christ. We welcome the utilization of the best translations of the Bible (we are not KJV-only) by each individual believer since each believer has the right to choose for himself in the freedom with which Christ has given.

Greg's Little Sayings

Church is on Sunday morning because of Saturday night
I'm doing the work of 3 men - Larry, Moe and Curly!
Most church folks don't mind having the wool pulled over their eyes, but they do mind getting fleeced! Courtesy Dennis Craig
This faith ministry is going down the tubes if you don't give!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Prophet's Meeting is cancelled tonight (Huh?)
If you let the dogs out, don't complain about the barking!
I saw a bumper sticker, “Nature is my church.” I guess he can’t get along with other folks
Those that blame God for suffering acknowledge there is a power greater than themselves; at least they're not atheists
On church arguments - it's always about control
Church is no more than a handrail on a set of stairs! Courtesy Johnie Jackson
We're not the worst church you'll ever attend!
Ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya!
When in doubt, sing!
If you’re feeling down and faithless, wait three days, you’ll feel better; in the meantime, clean something, at least you’ll be doing something good
It’s not just what you believe that matters; it’s how you hold what you believe
Humility: if you have to advertise it, you ain’t got it
When you’ve done all you can, have faith; oh, no, has it come to that?
