The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
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.”

From Corinth to Colorado Springs: Reforming the Carnal Church
Acts 18: I Corinthians 1:1-9 Exposition of I Corinthians
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.

- Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
- Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
- Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
- If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
- Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

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
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
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.

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.

A difficulty arose from the lack of water. Elisha requested a musician to be brought, and at the sound of the music God came upon him. He ordered pits to be dug to hold the abundant supply of water which he prophesied would be given them.

Do You Believe in Miracles? The Evidence for God
Science is an impersonal observer, only reviewing results. Nature cannot cause anything like God; it merely behaves in a consistent pattern. However, even in nature the laws are sometimes misunderstood or altered. We loosely use the word to mean anything unusual or unexpected. But in connection with Christianity, we mean “an act of God breaking into, changing, or interrupting the ordinary course of things.”

The Life of Elisha: II Kings 2-3 – Beginning his ministry
After Elijah’s ascension he lived at Jericho. The town was a residence of a body of the “sons of the prophets.” While there he was waited upon by the citizens who complained to him of the foulness of its waters. He remedied the evil by casting salt into the water at its source, in the name of Jehovah. Leaving Jericho he went to Bethel and upon nearing was met by a number of children who mockingly cried, “Go up, thou baldhead.” This dishonor to God through his prophet was sternly rebuked by Elisha, and “two she-bears came out of the woods and tore 42 of them.

The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
The Next Pastor
Rev. Jones shocked the congregation when he announced his resignation from the church and planned move to Arizona. After the service a very distraught Mrs. Williams came to the pastor with tears in her eyes, "Oh, Pastor Bill, we are going to miss you so much. We don't want you to leave!" The kindhearted pastor patted her hand and said, "Now, now, Liz, don't carry on so. The
pastor who takes my place might be even better than me." "Yeah", she cried, "That's what Pastor Mike said when he left!"
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
The Life of Elisha: His Character and Beginnings: Chariots of Fire and Parting the Waters
II Kings 2, Elijah’s Ascension: There is no more mention of Elijah after his calling until he accompanied Elijah to the other side of Jordan, witnessed there his ascension, and with his fallen mantle parted the waters and was welcomed by the sons of the prophets as the successor of Elijah (II Kings 2:1-16).
Today’s Sermon
The God Who is There: The Existence of God
We have studied the God of love, the God of truth, and the God of communication (The Word of God), but is there a God at all? Is being a Christian rational? Do the facts of science have to be ignored in order to believe in God? If we cannot answer the fundamental question of the existence of God, how can we say our faith is real? Does God even exist at all?
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead. Romans 1:19-20
WORSHIP SERVICE

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him: strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. To the only wise God our Savior be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. Psalm 95:5-6; Jude 1:25
