As you know this weeks lesson is about Evangelism and our thoughts and
concern with it. Take a look at this video as you prepare this week.


http://ping.fm/A0Xt8

Do we mess up evangalism? Jesus "witnessed" using the law. Take a look at this.

The core verses are actually Romans 1.14 – 17; 9.1 – 3; 10.1, 14 – 15; 15.17
‐ 20 but we may look at more than that, hence the mention to read all 4
chapters.

Our lesson is a simple lesson this week about Evangelism and our obligation
to Evangelize and our feelings/thoughts/cares about the lost.


1. How would you describe Paul’s feeling about evangelism?
2. Do you think Paul felt under obligation? If so, why?
3. What about you? Do you feel obligated to people who do not know God?
4. What exactly does it mean to live by faith? Go beyond what you normaly
would think of or say to this question.
5. Romans 9. 1 – 3. What is Paul sad about?
6. Is there anything that keeps people from being saved? If so, what is
it? Look at Roman's 1 again.
7. Romans 15.17 – 20 What role do signs and wonders have in the spreading
of the gospel?
8. What is our church’s basic plan for spreading the gospel? Better yet,
what is your basic plan for spreading the gospel?

See you Sunday, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving..... and one final
question for this year and the most basic question and obvious question for
this time of year.

What are your truly, thankful for this year/week/day this very moment?

I am sure many of you like myself are a bit sad over the announcement of
Doug's Retirement. I addition to that, add that Craig will be entering the
mission field and we will soon be without a youth pastor.

The Lord is good and knows what we need. Tomorrows lesson could not be more
appropriate for us this week. We will be focusing on what the early Church
was focused on and it is especially important for us to focus on the same
things.

Some things to think about.


1. What four things did the early church devote themselves to?
2. What are some of your favorite ways to expose yourself to the Word?
3. What is meant by �the fellowship�? This is more that cookies and
lemonade isn�t it? What is fellowship?
4. Why is fellowship so important?
5. What does it mean to �devote yourself to the fellowship�?
6. Hebrews 10.23 � 25. When the Bible says not to give up meeting
together, how often does that mean we should meet? Once a week? Twice a
week?
7. Look at the text carefully. What kind of meetings is this talking
about?
8. For you personally, how much church do you feel you need? How many
meetings? What kind of meetings?


Please come expecting to worship and learn from The Holy Spirit what God
wants us to know tomorrow.

SS Text and thoughts this week: Luke 12:13-21; Philippians 1:21-26

As we continue to think about how we live a Christian life in the world we live in daily, many thoughts come to mind:  How do I do this?  What does it look like?  If I blow it, will God give me other opportunities?

This weeks text focuses on passages that you have read before, but may not have thought much about, because, well, we certainly aren't Pharisees are we?  Anyway, see the notes before and read the text and pray this week for God to reveal what we need to understand.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The first 12 verses of Luke 12 carry the words of Jesus to a large crowd of people who were trampling on one another in their frenzy. What were they so worked up about? In Luke 11 Jesus had finished unloading a volley of insults and judgments against the Pharisees for their religious hypocrisy. The Lord's invectives had obviously drawn a crowd. People didn't talk like that about the Pharisees without generating controversy! So Jesus' response to the man about his inheritance must be interpreted in the light of this situation. He warned the people about attitudes of greed, and Jesus often scolded the Pharisees for the greed that fueled their religious elitism. In Luke 20:47 Jesus warns that the Pharisees "devour widows houses." They took advantage of the poor and defenseless to increase their own wealth. The man who demanded that Jesus intervene in his inheritance dispute probably did not have the level of wealth as did the Pharisees. But Jesus saw in his attitude something that troubled Him just as much. He warned the people to "be on guard against all greed." To the Lord, the greed of a Pharisee is just as sinful as that of a common man. We shouldn't be quick to lament the sins of the rich while downplaying our own. Greed comes in many forms and sizes, and it all leads to spiritual destruction.

How do you focus your priorities more on the life to come when the one you're in now demands so much of you? Your life with the Lord in heaven probably seems far away, yet we all know it could come tomorrow. Both the troubles and the pleasures of this life grab our attention and draw our hearts away from eternity. Jesus told us that we would have trouble in this life, but to take heart because He has overcome the world! A lot of people react to life situations instead of pro-actively preparing for them. Spending, saving, and giving according to a monthly budget is one way to guard against frivolous purchases. Making decisions ahead of time with family members about what kind of lifestyle you will live can alleviate the constant pressure to get more and more. More than anything, developing a habit of giving can open your family up to the lasting joys of contributing to eternal causes.

The first part of Paul's statement in Phil. 1:21 usually sounds strange to the ears of English speakers. How do we understand the word "Christ" when used as an adjective? Wouldn't it have been easier if Paul had written something such as, "living is Christian," or "living is Christ-like"? How is living as a Christian, itself, "Christ"? Perhaps it would help to consider all that it meant for Jesus of Nazareth to be the Christ. He carried a message of hope and peace to a world that mostly didn't want to hear it. He made enemies with the religious establishment and made friends with sinners. He claimed to be the fulfillment of the Law and the Son of God. And He said that He was the only way anyone would get to the Father. He did all of these things because He loved people and wanted them to know the truth. For Paul, living was indeed "Christ" because he bore on his body the marks of suffering and persecution awarded for his proclamation of the gospel. But he also cherished the priceless moments in which he saw his gospel seeds bear fruit of repentance and new life.

As you know we are studying during the month of November, How to live the
Christian life and what that looks like. Today I recieved my morning
devotional for Dr. Michael Youssef. I so applies to what we talked about
Sunday and what is ahead. Please review his writing as you prepare this
week. Remember, every day we are given a choice to live for God or for
ourselves. What will it be today?

Ignore that last tweet and blog post . Must have been stuck on the system.

Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said:

Father,

the hour has come.

Glorify Your Son

Please pray for Richard. He is going to speak to Lucas Lane (player on his LLBB team with Leukemia) about salvation this morning.

Urgent this morning: Please pray for Richard - Lucas Lane (Age 11) on Richards LLBB Team

You may remember praying for this little boy on Richards LL Baseball team this summer.  He has Leukemia (in fact there is an article in the paper today about him and a bank account being setup for him). 

Richard is going by to see him this morning and talking to him about salvation.  Pray God will use Richard and speak through him and Lucas will hear God's call.

I had an opportunity to see this young boy play baseball this year on Richards team.  He loves the game and really enjoys time with this friend.  I asked Richard to copy in on his email to his team.  Please see below and diligently pray.  Words are hard to express my thoughts, but God is good and His will is perfect.  Pray for a healing and understanding.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indians Family,

 

Beth Lane called me last night, and told me Lucas was diagnosed last night with Leukemia.  Many of you may not know, but Lucas had Leukemia about 10 years ago and it has been in remission for the last 7 years.  This probably explains the stress fracture Lucas suffered in his elbow a few weeks ago in All-Stars. 

 

Please pray that God will heal and comfort Lucas.  Also, please pray for strength, peace and understanding for Lucas's family during his treatments.

 

Lucas's Grandmother came by to see me this morning and said he will at Egleston Children's Hospital the next several days and they would welcome anyone who can visit him.

I am not sure when at the moment, but Noah and I will try to go see him soon.  I will let you know when if any you are interested in going with us.  He is on the Alflac wing in room 3235. 

 

If you plan to go, please make sure no visitor has a cold, fever or anything else that he or anyone on his wing can catch as all of these kids in the hospital have low immune systems. 

 

Sincerely,

Richard Daniel
