Scripture Reading

Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16

Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you." Hence we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper,I will not be afraid;what can man do to me?" Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

FROM THE SENIOR MINISTER...

I can only imagine what the child sees when he or she looks up at the parent. You know we catch a glimpse of it in our own families. Just look at children as they look at their mom or dad or grandparents. Instinctively, children know there is love there. That love is so great that the adults would do anything for the children, even change dirty diapers. As a child looks out of his crib at his sister or brother, he sees a bright smile and knows he is not alone and never will be alone. It is the same way when we catch a glimpse of God. Our hearts are moved to respond to God.
If you believe in God, then you can't help but respond and do something. Offering praise to God is one of the greatest gifts we can give, because it says we believe God is worthy of our love and admiration. God is so good. We are blessed when we praise him even if we are in the midst of difficult times. The thought that our praise pleases God is awesome. It means that we have something to give back to God that will powerfully express our love to him.

In Christian Love, Bob Dailey
