Saturday - Working with the Orphan and Widow

This coming Saturday we will embarking upon a new ministry for most of us, namely, ministering to children without a father. Often we think this type of ministry can only happen in other countries, but no, it can and should be happening here. James 1:27 says that the standard for true religion is to visit orphans and widows and stays unstained from the world. That is not just an Old Testament command, but it is primarily for us today!
In regards to this Saturday, we will meet after church on Wednesday night for a brief overview of what is going on this Saturday and what is expected of you.

Sunday School Highlights

This past Sunday we continued our journey through the book of Deuteronomy. We began to explore the first section of the book's summary statement 'God chooses His people, His people must choose Him.' Therefore, we studied the first aspect of how God chose the Israelites as His special people. It wasn't because of their righteousness but out of His love for them. Remember what kind of people they were? They were insignificant to the world, they were slaves turned vagabonds wondering in the desert. They were small and stiff-necked. All more the reason for God to turn from them, but no. He embraced them with love and showered them with grace. Just think of our own salvation. Each one of us has a past, has a history, has string of issues that follow us each day. That past tells us that we are like the Israelites, undeserving of the Lord's grace and love. Just take some time and meditate upon these verses, Eph. 1:3-4. What comes to your mind?
