Mission of the Week: Winston Salem Bible College This Wednesday night we will begin a 5 week Video Bible Study series … The Patriarchal, Mosaic, and Christian Age; The Plan of Salvation, and History of the Lord’s Church. Every Christian should attend these classes! There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board for young people in grades 6 and up who will attend a Youth Rally at Grundy Church of Christ on Feb. 21st. If we have at least 8 who will ride the bus, we will take a group. Pray for our Building Committee. They will be meeting with the architect who is working on a design for our new building this week. In the near future the architect will be making a presentation of the plan to the congregation. Prayer Breakfast is this Saturday at 8:00a.m. in the Youth Center. Youth Choir/Drama Practice is today at 4:30 – Scenes 1-5. Officers and Ladies Circle Meetings will be today at 5 p.m. The Choir will practice every Wednesday after church for an Easter Cantata, "Our God Reigns". You are invited to sing in this special program. Between Two Opinions I Kings 18:16-20 I Kings 18 tells the story of the contest on Mount Carmel between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Elijah challenges the people to make a decision as to who is really God. "The God who answers by fire … He is God." Before the contest began Elijah asked the people this question: "How long will you waver between two opinions? … but the people said nothing." Why didn’t the people answer Elijah? No choice needed – no answer was necessary. A. What difference does it make? B. Heaven or hell – it does make a difference! Plenty of time C. There are hypocrites among God’s people – we don’t want to be a part of that. D. Wait until ______ dies. Talking to someone else E. This doesn’t concern me – why won’t they listen? F. Judgment is for everyone. Fear G. What will __________ say or do? H. Matthew 10:28, 32-39 Not willing to submit I. God is Lord of All --- many do not want a Lord. J. "A fake Christian is a miserable Christian." God answered by fire on Mt. Carmel. He answered by fire on the road to Emmaus and on the Day of Pentecost. At the second coming of Jesus and Judgment Day, God will again answer by FIRE. "If the Lord is God, follow Him!" Prepare for His coming. |
