“Embrace God, Impact YOUR World”
NOVEMBER 2024
From the Pastor’s desk:
November is traditionally recognized as the month of Thanksgiving. Everything is centered around this special holiday in which we give thanks to the Lord for all that He has done for us and the blessings of a bountiful harvest. Throughout the scriptures we find messages of thanksgiving that reflects our relationship with our Lord. One of the most familiar passages is found in Philippians, chapter 3, verses 11-13. The background to this passage is that Paul is giving thanks to the Philippian church for their wonderful gifts and in this passage, Paul reveals the attitude we must have to live a life of thanksgiving. In verse 11, Paul says “I have learned how to be content”. Contentment is not something that we are born with but must be learned. It is natural for us to want more and more, yet our contentment cannot be measured by our “stuff”. We are the most blessed generation in the history of the world, and we live with the most discontentment because we are looking to stuff rather than looking to God. In verse 12, Paul says “I know how to live with nothing or everything”. Too many of God’s people pull away from God when things are going bad in their lives. Blessing can never be tied to how our life is going but must be predicated upon our relationship with Jesus. In verse 13, Paul says, “I can do all things through Christ who give me strength”.
Paul wants us to understand that with the strength of the Lord, we are able to accomplish anything and overcome any obstacle that stands against us. Our God has provided all that we need in life and the only thing that stands in our way is ourselves. If I will learn contentment in Christ and I know how to live by faith, I can do anything God gives me to do in this life. THANK YOU, JESUS, for giving us the victory in all that we do!
In the summer of 2023, we were blessed by the ministry of the DERRICK LOUDERMILK BAND. This was the first time we had a band come and minister during a Sunday morning service in many years. This band blessed us so much. On Sunday, November 17, they will be coming back to be used by God in music. In September, I had the privilege to talk to Derrick and he shared how much they were looking forward to coming back. If you know someone going through a difficult time or that needs to be saved, invite them to attend with you. Please begin now praying that God will use them to be a blessing to all who attend. This is also our church FAMILY THANKSGIVING! What a day of celebration!
