Moses, Joseph, Jonah, David, Peter, Paul and John-Mark (Mark) to name only a few. We see redemption in Paul’s missionary journeys. It happens over a period of ten years, covering over 8,000 miles by sea and on foot. It is a living laboratory where Paul practices his faith in almost every possible life experience. He faces illness, danger, physical attacks, imprisonment, disagreement with fellow servants, doubt, discouragement, joy, answered prayer, the spread of the gospel across the world, etc. On Paul’s first journey, the mission team is made up of Paul, Barnabas, and John-Mark. John-Mark quits and goes home, endangering the entire mission. After the first journey is over, Barnabas wants to give John-Mark a second chance and take him on the second missionary journey. Paul refuses. Barnabas leaves with John-Mark. Paul is the only one left, just as he begins the second journey. This looks like an impossible obstacle. Paul recruits Silas. Later, Timothy joins him and then Luke. Barnabas takes John-Mark with him on a different mission trip. Interestingly, Barnabas takes John-Mark to the very places where John-Mark quit previously. God allows John-Mark to face his demons and discouragement and grow in his faith. One day, John-Mark composes the Gospel of Mark. Paul’s new recruits, Timothy and Luke, are instrumental in the writing of I and II Timothy and the books of Luke and Acts. Instead of three missionaries, there are now six. Instead of one mission team, there are two. My brothers and sisters, we are redeemed by God! Claim it in the name of Jesus! Together, let us advance the Kingdom of God! See you on Sunday. Love, Pastor Mike

Dear church family and friends, The heart of the gospel is redemption. Many words come to mind: grace, forgiveness, second chances, new starts, etc. God’s choicest servants are great examples. Moses, Joseph, Jonah, David, Peter, Paul and John-Mark (Mark) to name only a few.
We see redemption in Paul’s missionary journeys. It happens over a period of ten years, covering over 8,000 miles by sea and on foot. It is a living laboratory where Paul practices his faith in almost every possible life experience. He faces illness, danger, physical attacks, imprisonment, disagreement with fellow servants, doubt, discouragement, joy, answered prayer, the spread of the gospel across the world, etc. On Paul’s first journey, the mission team is made up of Paul, Barnabas, and John-Mark. John-Mark quits and goes home, endangering the entire mission. After the first journey is over, Barnabas wants to give John-Mark a second chance and take him on the second missionary journey. Paul refuses. Barnabas leaves with John-Mark. Paul is the only one left, just as he begins the second journey. This looks like an impossible obstacle. Paul recruits Silas. Later, Timothy joins him and then Luke. Barnabas takes John-Mark with him on a different mission trip. Interestingly, Barnabas takes John-Mark to the very places where John-Mark quit previously. God allows John-Mark to face his demons and discouragement and grow in his faith. One day, John-Mark composes the Gospel of Mark. Paul’s new recruits, Timothy and Luke, are instrumental in the writing of I and II Timothy and the books of Luke and Acts. Instead of three missionaries, there are now six. Instead of one mission team, there are two. My brothers and sisters, we are redeemed by God! Claim it in the name of Jesus! Together, let us advance the Kingdom of God!
See you on Sunday. Love, Pastor Mike

Church Wide
Thanksgiving
Bible Study
Join us as we study scriptures of praise & thanksgiving
in preparation for celebrating Thanksgiving Day 2016 -
much like we prepare for Christmas each year, by
observing Advent.
* NOTEBOOKS will be available this Sun., Nov. 6.
This 2-week S.O.A.P. Bible study will be Nov. 10 - 24.
Each participant will receive a notebook listing the
scriptures for each day. If you prefer, the notebook can
be emailed to you. We will not be meeting as a group—
this Bible study is designed in such a way that each of
us will study the same scripture passage on our own on
each of the 15 days leading up to Thanksgiving:
(S - scripture, O - observations, A - application,
P - prayer).
You will also have the option of sharing any insights
God has shown you on a special closed Facebook page
for our group. Sign up on your communication card or
contact Diana Roberts, Margie Horton or Terry Winters.
