FAITH & VALUES

Butler Christ Community

Greetings friends! On Sunday we heard from Pastor Ron that the prophesies made in Daniel were quite accurate. It was a very interesting account to hear.

On August 27 there will be a follow up meeting for the high school ministry beginning at 6:30 p.m.

There will be a pot luck meal, communion and board meeting on Sunday September 7.

So glad to have Peanut back singing his heart out on Sunday. We sure miss him when he isn’t here.

Where are you in your journey of following Jesus today? Think of some of the places you have gone with Him and how His plan is for your good.

God bless you as you continue your walk with Jesus!

Bro. Mark’s message was from Numbers 13:33.

We saw some of the Anakim there, descendants of the ancient race of giants.  We felt like grasshoppers before them. That land was everything that God promised, a land flowing with milk and honey. Of the 12 spies who came back checking the land two said lets go get it. The other 10 thought, death sentence.

Trust God more than what somebody else thinks.  Our God in Heaven is not just or-dinary. He has a plan for our life. He sets up the next step of your life.

Turner Ridge Baptist

August 10th the lesson in Sunday school was HUMILITY. Scripture was from Philippians 2:1-11, verse 5 says “Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus.” Jesus demonstrated humility. For us to exercise humility we have to start seeing ourselves as dependent on God.

The children’s message Living By the Rules, from Mark 1:21-28 and 2 Timothy 2:15, tells the importance of studying God’s word. Scripture was read for all the kids entering grades K-12, and they were gifted goodies that would allow them to take the words of Jesus to school with them.

Bro. Dale then had the college students come forward and he had prayer with them. “God is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before His glorious presence with great joy.” Jude 1:24

Then the teachers as well as school staff were recognized, the teachers were gifted a pocket prayer book to have with them. Then Bro. Dale had prayer with them to not only be able to teach but to show students Jesus lives in them.
