BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS

David also said to his son (Solomon) “Be courageous, for the Lord God is with you.” I Chronicles 28:20

Such encouraging words for a father to give to his son!

In Deuteronomy, chapter 31, Moses knew he wasn’t going to be able to

lead his people any longer. He was 120 years old. The Lord chose Joshua to lead

his people into the Promised Land. When Moses was talking to Joshua he told

him to Be strong and courageous, the Lord will be with you. What encouraging

words from a great leader to a new leader.

At the death of Moses, we see in the first chapter of Joshua, that God

spoke to Joshua and told him to Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do

not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go! How

encouraging that must have been to hear those words from God Himself!

How appropriate that the Eldership has chosen the statement “Be

Courageous” as a theme for 2018. Neville has already started preaching on this.

Brothers and sisters, I believe God still wants his people to be strong and

courageous. I believe God wants and needs his leaders to be strong and

courageous. We should all be talking to our friends and neighbors and our family

and co-workers about the good news of Jesus Christ. If you found out that you

were going to be a parent or grandparent for the first time wouldn’t you want

everyone to know about it? That’s the way we should be when it comes to sharing

our Lord and Savior. How many people do you know who gave their life for you?

Be courageous enough to let everyone know that Jesus

did just that.

Paul told his young church at Corinth to “be on your

guard, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage and be

strong” I Cor. 16:13.

Bill, for the Elders

We love our visitors! We welcome you as our guest!

c. Select time slot that works best for you

For the next two months, celebrative carols will be

heard in most stores in America. Two thousand years

ago the same thing happened just outside of Jerusalem.

A large group of disciples started to chant: Blessed is

the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in

heaven and glory in the highest (Luke 19:38)!

And as some get irritated by early Christmas carols, so

too a group of Pharisees were upset at the spontaneous

celebration that erupted around them. And some of the

Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke

your disciples (Luke 19:39). How do you think Jesus

responded? He

answered, “I tell you, if

these were silent, the

very stones would cry

out” (Luke 19:39).

Correspondingly, even though most Christians are silent

over their love for Jesus, the huge stones that make up

American Malls are shouting praises to Jesus.

Christian, are you telling your family about Jesus? This

week a distant cousin responded to a simple WBS

request I had sent out. What joy filled by soul! Why not

use these next two months to get the message of Christ

out? Simply sign up to WBS and share your direct link

with all. Alternatively, study with me

(neville-buchanan.worldbibleschool.org).

ANNOYING CAROLS?

“Always Give Thanks” by Paul Watts Recently my wife’s car broke down on a local expressway while she was on her way to an appointment during the nightly rush hour. Fortunately, she was able to pull the vehicle off the road without incident. While she missed her appointment, we quickly realized how fortunate we were in that a serious accident was avoided. In situations like these, where our normal routine is interrupted, it is easy to get upset. Our schedules usually cannot handle an unexpected change in plans like this and we feel an increased level of stress. Of course, the Bible has the answer! In 1 Thess 5:18, we are told to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will

of God in Christ Jesus for you.” This attitude adjustment is just what we need to overcome our displeasure to interruptions with our schedules. Perhaps God had a reason to send that interruption; perhaps we are not doing what He would have us do in that moment. Whatever His reasons are, we can have confidence He has our best interests at heart.
