From the Pastor’s Pen

“’Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit; says the Lord of hosts.”

—The Lord to Zechariah (Zech 4:6)

What God has beckoned us to do in our years together has frightened the daylights out of most us.

Never settle for a Christianity that does less. It will keep you on your face before God, trusting Him, depending on Him, and seeking Him.

Manley Beasley used to say, “Anything that makes you pray is a blessing.”

Always put yourself in a position that requires you to pray desperately and live by the Holy Spirit’s power.

Lord’s Supper

Sunday, October 7

10:30 a.m.

The Spirit’s power is the “destination” to which I have attempted to guide us. That place has kept some of us tense, nervous, and

frightened at times. It has me!

How do I overcome tension, nerves, and fright? Focus on Jesus’ worth and other’s need for Him. Fill yourself with how worthy

Jesus is of your witness and how desperately others need it. These two things will expel your fear.

Oswald J. Smith said that our efforts do not remove sins such as fear. Getting ourselves full of the Holy Spirit does this, and we get

filled with the Spirit when we dwell on Jesus and other’s needs. When we do there is no more room for fear. This is true in many

areas common to life. To illumine a room, we do not drive out darkness; we fill the room with light. We do not remove dead leaves

from trees. We let sap flow throughout branches and new leaves push out the old ones. In Romans 7, Paul rehearsed some of his

failures and sins. There he uses “me,” “my,” and “I” forty-one times. In Romans 8, Paul tells of victory in Christ and mentions the

Holy Spirit sixteen times. The Holy Spirit can expel all your fears.

As we approach our week with Ronnie Hill October 21—24, we need a fresh encounter with the Holy Spirit. I’m asking you to tell

others about Jesus, to fast and pray one day sometime between October 14—20, to bring 1 friend Sunday morning, to get your

class and guests there on Sunday night, to load up the place with family and friends each night, especially Steak Night on

Wednesday night. We want people to know Jesus, and we are His means of introducing them to Him.

You can do this. You have more power than you imagine. Let’s fill ourselves with Christ and others, and the Holy Spirit will give us

power.

I Stand Amazed,

David Mills

Beech Haven Goal: 225 Backpacks 75 to the Georgia Baptist Mission Board’s Christmas Backpacks 150 to students from two local elementary schools

This Year’s Process: 1. Each Sunday School Class will select a type of item to

collect and donate and select the number of items they plan to provide.

2. One representative from each SS class will email Adam in the church office to receive an invitation to our Sign-Up Genius page. The class representative will log-in and make their class’s selection. Items will be selected on a first come-first-serve basis.

3. Class participants will purchase their item(s), collect them in the classroom and then drop the entire collection in the donation locations in the church by November 4.

4. A class may provide a monetary donation in lieu of acquiring items. Please indicate this selection on the Sign-Up Genius site. Make checks payable to Beech Haven and designate Christmas Backpacks on the memo line.

Worship Ministry Notes

An Adapted Psalm for Beech Haven

Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song, and praise His name with ancient texts. Let all of Beech Haven celebrate its Maker;

Let the children rejoice in their King. Let the students proclaim His greatness. Let the adults celebrate in triumphal glory. Let the seniors exalt Him with every breath.

Let those with flourishing 401k’s praise Him. and those who struggle daily rejoice in His faithfulness. Praise Him, all you English speakers. Alabarlo también en español. Praise Him, all who prefer reflective hymns. Praise Him, all who prefer raucous choruses. Praise Him, no matter the color of your skin.

Praise Him, no matter your socio-ethnic background.

Let our praise inspire obedience, And our adoration lead to holiness. Let our worship be contagious, And inspire us to make disciples. Hallelujah! Praise God in His sanctuary/worship center. Praise Him in Building ‘D’ with the students. Praise Him for His provision with ACT 22 and Indiantown. Praise Him for His abundant blessings.

Praise Him with the blast of the trumpet (or soprano sax). Praise Him with synthesizer and guitars. Praise Him with the cajon and lifted hands. Praise Him with the piano and pipe organ. Praise Him with resounding cymbals; Praise Him even with electronic cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah!
