Stepping Up – Psalms of Ascent
A Beth Moore Study
A new Bible study of Psalms 120-134
begins this Wednesday, April 1, at 7:00pm
in East Fellowship Hall.
Traveling pilgrims sang these psalms both
on the way to the great festivals of the Lord
and became key elements of their worship.
Psalms of Ascent model today how
we can voice our own petitions and
praises to our God, who is always
available and ready to hear us.

Ministry
Welcome
The worship of Jesus as King at His
triumphal entry quickly turned, within
a week, to incessant calls for His death.
He didn’t meet their expectations
because their expectations were wrong.
God never accommodates Himself to
what we expect of Him. He is King. He
is holy. He alone is Savior. He doesn’t
meet expectations, He exceeds them.
We must worship Him for who He is.

Pray for P. & M. A. as they live in Canada, but travel often to serve in Asia. They
are thankful that God brought him through a severe virus infection in his body, as well as
a virus attack on his computer. God provided strength to finish filming two series of DVD
training materials on the Minor Prophets and some Epistles. Pray for the teams going to
China this month as they minister throughout the country.

Indiana. They are thankful to have passed Dennis’ second anniversary of his fall and
fracture, and experienced the Lord’s healing touch - now functioning much the same as

their 4 year old grandson, Ross, who was born with a hip difficulty and shortened femur,
is now in a body cast for several weeks.

Secret Church Simulcast
Christ, Culture and a Call to Action
Friday, April 24 7:00pm – HPBC Chapel
How does the call of Christ compel us to
respond to the constantly changing and
significant challenges in our culture related
to same-sex marriage, pervasive racial
prejudice, limited religious liberty, and
exaltation of prosperity, rampant
pornography, and abortion of babies?
In this Secret Church presentation, Dr. David
Platt applies Biblical truth to help us
understand how Christ calls every Christian to
engage culture with a firm grip on the gospel
and a fervent passion for God’s glory.
Registration and further information is
available today in the Atrium Foyer.
Workbooks will be provided the night of the
event to the first 200 registrants.

International and Great Lakes Member
Care in-service on Saturday, April 18.
