Vacation Bible School

Next Sunday, June 1, we kick off this year’s Vacation Bible School. We’ll

start on Sunday morning with special classes for the kids and normal classes for

the adults. Our theme is “Super Heroes of Faith” and Sunday morning during

worship we will study about a famous Bible queen, Esther. Then beginning Sun-

day night through Wednesday night we’ll have special activities and classes for

everyone...even adults. Some very talented men from our congregation will lead

our studies each evening in the adult classes: Sunday night: Jaylon Williams,

Monday night: Skip McCurry, Tuesday night: Mike Dickinson and Wednesday

night: Tim Shoemaker.

The Power of Prayer

We often are encouraged to pray for others during times of surgery, sickness

or deaths of loved ones. However, let me remind you to “pray without ceasing”

during the good times as well. Let’s be “thankful” Christians! Also, let’s pray for

God’s providential hand to be on the future of our country, our church relocation

plans, and the present opportunities and upcoming works we are going to be in-

volved in this summer!

Upcoming Important Dates

Our Summer Series, “From Acts to Alabama,” will begin June 11 with Mark

Howell, the preacher at Midway in Jasper. Also remember the Youth Campaign

June 13-20. Remember to mark your calendar for our Gospel Meeting this sum-

mer. The dates are July 27-30. Our guest speaker will be Neal Pollard. Also re-

member to dedicate some time to help with our local campaign outreach a few

days before the meeting begins (more info later).

A Personal Note

Thank you for your kind and supporting words regarding the sermon last

Sunday on “Answering the Pro-Homosexual Agenda.”

Spiritual Security – 2 The first thing that we need to have spiritual secu-rity in Christ is faith. What is this faith? The word faith is used sometimes of the objective faith, the gospel. How-ever in this verse Peter talks about adding to “your faith.” This is the faith that we are to have in Christ and in God. Faith, as it is discussed in Hebrews is used of faith in God; in His promises. We can be sure of those things not seen because of our confidence in the One who tells us of them. Just as the physical eye allows us to see the physical things around us, so faith allows us to see spiritually those things that God has promised us. “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Heb. 11:3). “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, pre-pared an ark to the saving of his house…” (Heb. 11:7). “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth” (Heb. 11:13). The word faith is from the Greek word pistis. This was used primarily of “firm persuasion, a conviction based upon hearing. The word is used of trust.” F.F. Bruce said that the faith of those men and women “consisted simply in taking God at His word and direct-ing their lives accordingly.” They trusted God in what he told them and thus willingly followed His commands. Faith is necessary to please God. Again the writer of the letter to the Hebrews wrote of this saying, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” We have not seen God but we believe that He is and that He is the rewarder of all who diligently seek Him. How-ever, this faith is not a blind thing. It is based upon our trust in evidence we have been given and in the integrity of the One giving the evidence. Think of a trial in a court room and imagine that you are one of the jurors. You must listen to the testi-mony and weigh the evidence and then render a verdict – either guilty or not guilty. Your verdict will depend upon the kind of evidence given and the integrity of the witnesses. Some evidence may be overwhelming for or against the defendant. Fingerprints, DNA, tire tracks, shoe prints, clothing samples, hair all of that is physical evidence. What about eyewitnesses. Is the evidence reliable? Maybe the eyewitness has a reputation for ly-ing, for fabricating stories and is thus not reliable. Maybe there is doubt cast on the integrity of the one gathering the evidence. What we decide in the matter is dependent upon how much we are willing to trust those presenting the evidence.
