Pastors brave threats and bombs in the Himalayas. In Central Asia, an IMB doctor’s
greatest concern isn’t for safety but that his ministry will make a difference for the
kingdom. A worker in war-torn Somalia of the ’90s knew he’d have to be willing to die
for Jesus and spend years learning why believers in persecution grow unimaginably
strong in the faith.
Engaging people groups in the hard places comes with risk and sacrifice for all who
obediently choose to be His heart, His hands, His voice. Most of us aren’t threatened
because of our faith, but we need to be in prayer for those who are — not that
persecution will end but that believers in persecution will stay courageous and bold.
Giving is also a call to obedience and sacrifice. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®
enables IMB missionaries to live and work at the forefront of lostness and extend our
witness through their full-time ministry. Each of us and our churches are called
continually to take the next step in our obedience so that Christ is glorified and to ask
“What am I doing and what is my church doing to be obedient — to BE His heart,
hands and voice, no matter the cost?”
Camp Post Office
The Camp Post Office is open in the
fellowship hall foyer. For a donation to
summer camp, you can bring your
Christmas cards for
church family and we
will sort them and
hand them out
for you.
Parade Float
Any children that would like to ride on
the church float, see Mary Moore. We
are planning a nativity scene and need
kids to dress up in costume. The Parade
will be Saturday, December 8th.
Pastor’s Pen
Crisis. Hardship. Difficulty. Adversity. Trial. Don’t we cringe at such words? Yet, such
experiences are part of life. James 1:2 says, “...when you encounter various trials.” The passage
does not say “if.” Such experiences are part of life.
How do we face such experiences? If we are going to have them, we need to know how to
handle them.
We find lessons about dealing with adversity in Luke 8:22-56. In this passage, we see our Lord
work some of His greatest miracles. While each of these is a powerful lesson by itself, together they
give us a strategy for handling adversity.
The first lesson we learn about dealing with adversity is to make sure that we are in God’s will.
We see this in the disciples’ experience on the Sea of Galilee. They encountered a horrible storm
that threatened their lives (Luke 8:22-25).
How could such an experience occur? Much of today’s theology (and it is a stretch to call it
theology) would teach that the disciples were out of God’s will. There are those who teach that if
you were really in God’s will you wouldn’t have any problems.
However, the text shows that they followed our Lord into the boat. They were in the storm
because they were obedient, not because they were disobedient.
When we face adversity, we need to make sure that we are in God’s will. Yes, God will bring
adversity to stop us from going down the wrong path. Yes, there are consequences of sin that are
painful. God does discipline His children. However, many adversities have nothing to do with sin,
rebellion or self-will. We need to prayerfully search our hearts and lives. If God reveals sin, then
confess it. If God reveals that you are going down the wrong path, then turn. But, if you are in
God’s will as best as you can tell, then rest in confidence that you are where God wants you to be.
Next, we need to seek our Lord. The disciples did. Granted, their seeking was a panicked act of
faithfulness but at least they knew what to do when they were panicked!
A better example is Jairus (Luke 8:40-42). When his daughter was sick and dying, He came to
the Lord Jesus. He sought the help of the only one who could help.
Then unnamed lady of verses 43-48 also sought the Lord. She had horrible suffered for twelve
years with a hemorrhage. No one had been able to help her. In fact the doctors had caused her
even more pain (Mark 5:26). She sought to the help of the only one who could help.
Last, we need to trust the unlimited power of our Lord to accomplish His will. This whole
passage is a statement of His power. In verses 22-25, He is greater than the most destructive forces
in nature. The disciples asked, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water,
and they obey Him?” In verses 26-39 He is greater than demons. Such power frightened those who
saw the results of His work (verse 35).
He healed the diseased woman. He is greater than every weakness that we have in our frail
bodies. Jairus saw that our Lord is even greater than death when he saw the Lord raise his daughter
from the dead (verse 54-56). This passage shows our Lord’s amazing power. He is greater than
every problem that we have.
Yes, we will face adversity. You may be facing some now. Search your heart to see if you are in
God’s will. If you are not, make the necessary changes. If you are, stay the course. Seek the Lord
about your problem. He is waiting for your call. Trust His unlimited power. He will carry you
through to His good plan.
