WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 11/28/2010

Greetings, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the author and finisher of our faith. . What a wonderful Thanksgiving Community Worship Service. “Congratulations” and “job well done” to the many that worked so hard to make it a success. We were truly blessed.

This week we will return to our study of “The Inescapable God” looking in the Book of Psalms (139), and Minister Taylor will be bringing the Word.  Here is the text…

TEXT: Psalm 139:1-6, 13-16, 23-24  For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

5You hem me in— behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

13For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

23Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting

 

TITLE:  Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!

 

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: God, who is ever present, all knowing and His ability to do all and how God can potentially impact us who are His creation if we submit our total self to Him.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Let’s help our children to Learn to see themselves as precious creations of God.

RESPONSIVE READING: #562 God The Creator

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving and know that you are in my heart and prayers. Let us all continue to pray for each other.

Greetings,‭ ‬in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,‭ ‬who is our Rock. ‭ ‬What a wonderful celebration of Women’s Day.‭ “‬Congratulations‭” ‬and‭ “‬job well done‭” ‬to the many that worked so hard to make it a success.‭ ‬We were truly blessed.

This week we will return to our study of‭ “‬The Inescapable God‭” ‬looking in the Book of Psalms‭ (‬91‭)‬. ‭ ‬Here is the text‭…
 
TEXT:‭ ‬Psalm‭ ‬91:1-6,‭ ‬9-16
1‭ ‬Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2‭ ‬I will say of the LORD,‭ “‬He is my refuge and my fortress,‭ ‬my God,‭ ‬in whom I trust.‭”
3‭ ‬Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. ‭
4‭ ‬He will cover you with his feathers,‭ ‬and under his wings you will find refuge‭;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. ‭
5‭ ‬You will not fear the terror of night,‭ ‬nor the arrow that flies by day,‭
6‭ ‬nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,‭ ‬nor the plague that destroys at midday. ‭
___
9‭ ‬If you say,‭ “‬The LORD is my refuge,‭” ‬and you make the Most High your dwelling,‭
10‭ ‬no harm will overtake you,‭ ‬no disaster will come near your tent. ‭
11‭ ‬For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways‭;
12‭ ‬they will lift you up in their hands,‭ ‬so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. ‭
13‭ ‬You will tread on the lion and the cobra‭; ‬you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14‭ “‬Because he loves me,‭” ‬says the LORD,‭ “‬I will rescue him‭; ‬I will protect him,‭ ‬for he acknowledges my name. ‭
15‭ ‬He will call on me,‭ ‬and I will answer him‭; ‬I will be with him in trouble,‭ ‬I will deliver him and honor him. ‭
16‭ ‬With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.‭”
 
WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT:‭ ‬The promise of supernatural protection for God’s people if they live in close relationship with God.
 
SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE:‭ ‬Let’s help our children to Learn to see God as a source of protection if they live for him.

WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 11/14/2010  

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I hope this message finds you in the best of health and spirits. If the challenges of life are pulling at you down, let me just remind you that God loves you and so do I. This week we are celebrating the “wonderful” Women of Zion. I am excited and “thank God” for all of the women. The Lord placed it on my heart to visit a familiar text and story regarding a woman that met a Man...Here is the text…

TEXT: John 4:1-24

1 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.  3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. 4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. 7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” 16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” 17 “I have no husband,” she replied.   Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” 19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”  

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: The importance of women (and all believers) finding their identity in God.  

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Let’s help our children to Learn to see themselves as God sees them-and know they are who God says they are...(Gen. 1:27)

WORSHIP SERVICE INFORMATION FOR SUNDAY 11/07/2010

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: In all things we should give God praise, for he is truly worthy.  Our focus is still on the “God who sustains” us.  This week I will be preaching on the "Awesomeness of God.”

Here is the text…

TEXT: Psalm 66:1-12 (NIV)

 1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth! 
 2 Sing the glory of his name; 
   make his praise glorious. 
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! 
   So great is your power 
   that your enemies cringe before you. 
4 All the earth bows down to you; 
   they sing praise to you, 
   they sing the praises of your name.”

 5 Come and see what God has done, 
   his awesome deeds for mankind! 
6 He turned the sea into dry land, 
   they passed through the waters on foot— 
   come, let us rejoice in him. 
7 He rules forever by his power, 
   his eyes watch the nations— 
   let not the rebellious rise up against him.

 8 Praise our God, all peoples, 
   let the sound of his praise be heard; 
9 he has preserved our lives 
   and kept our feet from slipping. 
10 For you, God, tested us; 
   you refined us like silver. 
11 You brought us into prison 
   and laid burdens on our backs. 
12 You let people ride over our heads; 
   we went through fire and water, 
   but you brought us to a place of abundance.

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: How God works on behalf of his people, even in time of testing.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: How God helps us in time of trouble.

RESPONSIVE READING: #565 God's Providential Care

Let's also encourage and pray for each other.

NOTE: We have been asked by the Lynn Council of Churches to host the "Community Thanksgiving Service" on Sunday November 21st at 7 PM.  Please put it on you calendar and plan to come out and support this community effort.

Yours in Christian love and service,

Pastor W. C. Hill
