allen d-newAllen Daniels closed services reading the verses from the hymn “Christ Satisfies


Whene’er you need a friend, Who is all wise, On whom you can depend, He satisfies, Christ satisfies the soul, When He has full control; On Him your burdens roll, Christ satisfies.
When darkness hovers near, And torrents rise, Christ comes the soul to cheer, He satisfies, Christ satisfies the soul, When He has full control; On Him your burdens roll, Christ satisfies.
Nothing of earth is sure, Vain hope soon dies, Things of the Lord endure, He satisfies, Christ satisfies the soul, When He has full control; On Him your burdens roll, Christ satisfies.

Why should we believe the Bible?

randyMc_1_cropRandy McCarthy introduced services by reading from Matthew 18:1-6 and introducing the topic of how should we deal with others in the present culture who question whether the bible has relevance.  He said that as the current culture becomes more of a post-Christian pagan culture, there are great opportunities for the church to engage and bring the gospel to God’s little ones who are struggling with the emptiness of modern life.

 


mark w-new_hcMark Wattenbarger preached about the experiences of the prophet Elijah with regard to standing for our faith and dealing with opposition and doubt.  He related how that, while it was prudent for Elijah to withdraw from the threats of Jezebel Queen of Israel, it was not appropriate for him to subsequently feel sorry for himself and give up.  God told Elijah to get back to work, and encouraged him in his self-pity and discouragement. 1Kings 19.  We should be bold and encouraged, since the truth is true, and is always true, and we can trust in Him who is Truth.  We can’t heal the world by going to church; we can only help the world by being the church.
