NOMINATING COMMITTEE
BEGIN THEIR WORK
This Sunday, the Nominating Committee will
distribute an “Interest Survey” giving members
of our church family the opportunity to complete and return on Sunday, February 8th. As
“Members of The Body of Christ”, we have the
privilege and the responsibility to serve. There
are steps to Discipleship for every believer.
What fruit and abilities has God given you to
“build up” the Body of Christ and glorify
your Lord?
“Who is this Jesus?”
“Who is this Man?”

The name “Jesus” is arguably the most
controversial, polarizing name out there.
“only begotten” - the only one
“in the beginning” - at the creation
“death on the cross” - to set us free
“grace and peace” - God’s gift to us
“redemption and return” - to claim us
Though Jesus “did” a lot of things, Jesus
“God’s Character Reflected” - Pastor Mike
was the only Son of God!
Deuteronomy 4:44 - 6:25
Taken from Holy Vocabulary, Michael Kelley
A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
Personal testimonies are powerful tools that can
be used by God to touch the hearts of many.
Last Sunday it was our privilege to listen to the
testimonies of four of our men: Alan Harper, Larry
Long, Randy Rinehart and Monte Robertson. Each
testimony was genuine, sincere and straight from
the heart. Each man shared how God in Jesus
Christ had changed and transformed his life and
family. What a blessing it is to hear of the great
things that God has done and is doing! Amen?
On a Sunday morning, October 7, 1962, my
walk with Christ began. As a boy, God spoke to
my heart. I realized that I was a sinner and that
Jesus Christ died for me on Calvary’s cross. I
asked Christ to be my personal Savior. Jesus saved
me that very day. I knew Jesus! On that Sunday, I
came home from church with a “diamond in my
pocket.” I sensed its value and was swallowed up
in a new romance. I moved inside a new affection.
I loved not so much what I owned, but I loved who
owned me. And in that double love, I was set free.
That is my personal testimony. We all have one, if
we have trusted in Jesus to save us. May I ask you:
Do you have a personal testimony? Would you
mind sharing it with someone?
Read the following words as if you are hearing
them for the first time:
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From victory unto victory
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own:
Put on the Gospel armor,
Each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long. . .
What’s your personal testimony? I will see you
on Sunday! Stand up for Jesus.
Loving you, Pastor Mike

Questions for a nation . . . Israel:
For what great nation is there that has a
god so near to it as is the Lord our God
whenever we call on Him? Or what great
nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole law
which I am setting before you today?

“For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that
the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and
when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is My body,
which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same way
He took the cup also after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
