RVC Annual Meeting: Due to very low sign-up for the Annual Meeting, and the possibility of inclement weather arriving later in the day, Chairman Richardson and Pastor Tim have decided it is best to postpone the Annual Meeting to the following Sunday, January 28th. We will still plan to have a potluck immediately after church on the 28th and then transition into the formal meeting, which we anticipate will last about 45 minutes. If you plan to bring a main dish, side dish or dessert, we encourage you to sign up at the Welcome Desk or contact Tess in the office.

The first event will be held Sunday, February 25th, right after church, where people can come fellowship with the pastors and have a casual chat. Space is limited to around 10 people. A sign-up will be available in the near future.

Tithing Envelopes: Please don't forget to pick up your tithing envelopes off the table next to the Cafe. If you cannot find your name, please let Tess know.

The Consequences of Casual Conduct: God Judges Jerusalem...and ChristiansPastor Tim JohnsonPrayer and Scripture- Elder Andy Carroll

Isaiah 59:2 (ESV)“but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.”

MEMORY VERSE:

Digging Deeper:

1. Can you recall consequences that you experienced in your life that were a result of sinning against God? 2. Are you absolutely convinced and persuaded that all of your sins are removed from your account? Explain. Can you cite a verse to support your answer?3. What one thing from today's message most impacted you?

Power Cannot Hide Sin in Jerusalem

1. Jerusalem and Temple Destroyed by the Babylonians – 586 BC

2. Jerusalem and Temple Restored in 516 BC

3. Jerusalem Independent for the First Time in Over 400 Years – 165 BC

4. Jerusalem and Temple Destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans

5. Jerusalem Becomes a Secular City as Jews are Removed – 135 AD

Conclusion – God is Seemingly Absent from Jerusalem
