"Then Job answered the Lord: 'I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.'"
Job 42: 1
IT IS VERY EASY for us to think that we can control the course of life and God's creation. The Lord did give us dominion over a lot. But Job's realization at the end of the book that bears his name was profound: no purpose of God's can be thwarted. Remember that in the middle of successes and failures, good days and bad. The best thing we can do is try to ride God's wave of the Holy Spirit as He carries the world where God is leading. The Lord can do all things...and purpose of yours (Lord) can be thwarted.
THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29TH we will have an "Altar Call Sunday," meaning that during worship the altar will be opened with an invitation to come for prayer, healing, dedication, rededication, anointing with oil for healing and thanksgiving. I'll be preaching a message from Job 42: 1-6 and 10-17 called "And They Lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER." Shannon Draper will be doing special music during both services, so it's definitely worth your time to be in God's house this Sunday at Rehoboth. You're invited, and I'll see YOU there.
PLEASE CONTINUE PRAYING ABOUT THE 1000 VOICES VISION. Monday night we spent time as a Church Council sharing our views and understandings with each other, but God's leading and provision is what we need most. Satan is placing many obstacles in front of us, but he will not be victorious over the things of God. Let's keep praying and being faithful as we look forward to what the Lord has for us.
GREAT DINNER: last Saturday's dinner gave us the opportunity to serve 712 meals. Praise God for a great day of service, work, fellowship and love. May our witness reach someone in need of God's family.
THE SUNDAY 4 PM BIBLE STUDY IS OUTSTANDING! An open group has been gathering there studying Jeremiah and sharing things to help us be better disciples of Christ Jesus. You're invited to join us if you feel called to know more of God's Word.
HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND and a wonderful walk with Jesus in your life!
Love, Pastor Jim
