“For I am fearfully and wonderfully made”

No doubt the human body is an amazing and unfathomably intricate creation that only God could have designed. The more we learn about the complexity of our own bodies the more we have to stand in amazement at God’s creation. Next Sunday, April 13, we would like to provide the youth with the opportunity to explore this very part of God’s creation at the “Bodies Revealed” exhibit at Union Station. We will be meeting at the church and carpooling to Union Station. Youth Shepherding Group will then meet at Katie & Danny Moore’s near Union Station. Rides can be provided to Shepherding Group only (beginning around 6:00) from the church if needed.
When: Meet at 3:30 at church
Cost: $12.00 per person (if enough people sign up)

We will go to the exhibit and then to the Moore’s. We will be back at the church by 8:00 PM.

WE MUST ORDER TICKETS IN ADVANCE TO GET A DISCOUNT RATE. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING BY WEDNESDAY! You can do so by signing up at the church or calling/e-mailing Jimmy.

He who is faithful in small things…

The child of God must be willing to be a channel through which God’s abundant blessings flow. This channel is narrow and shallow at first, yet some of the waters of God’s bounty can pass through. If we cheerfully yield ourselves to this purpose, the channel becomes wider and deeper, allowing more of the bounty of God to pass through. We cannot limit the extent to which God may use us as instruments in communicating blessing if we are willing to yield ourselves to Him and are careful to give Him all the glory.

These words from Charles Spurgeon on Isaiah 45:22 have been been of great comfort to me:

“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other!” - Isaiah 45:22

But thou sayest sin will not let thee look. I tell thee, sin will be removed the moment thou dost look. “But I dare not; He will condemn me; I fear to look.” He will condemn thee more, if thou dost not look. Fear, then, and look; but do not let thy fearing keep thee from looking. “But He will cast me out.” Try Him. “But I cannot see Him.” I tell you, it is not seeing, but looking. “But my eyes are so fixed on the earth, so earthly, so worldly.” Ah! but, poor soul, He giveth power to look and live. He saith - “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.”
