Know God, Make Him Known
September 30th, 2018
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
(2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV)
The Apostle Paul encouraged the Christians in Corinth to take up a collec-
tion for God’s people in Jerusalem, who were living through a famine in their
land; and he used the opportunity to tell the believers the importance of giv-
ing to the work of the Lord. From this we can learn a number of things
First of all, we see that mishaps and calamities affect Christians too.
The difference for the believer is that God has promised that he will never leave
us nor forsake us in our trials, and that he will supply all of our needs accord-
ing to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. One way that he supplies those needs is
through other believers, and that is what was happening through the collection in
Corinth for the poor believers in Jerusalem. We also learn that giving to the
Lord’s work is an act of worship, whereby we acknowledge that God is the one
who provides everything we have in the first place, which includes what we are
setting aside to give. And even though in our giving we are just returning
a small portion of all that the Lord has provided to us, Paul adds the wonderful
promise that “God is able to bless [the giver] abundantly”
(2 Corinthians 9:8)! Finally, the Apostle Paul encourages the Corinthians - and
us! - by telling them that their giving will result in offerings of praise and thanks-
giving to God on the part of those receiving the gift.
-excerpt from Daily Devotions with Jim Cymbala, Pastor at Brooklyn Tabernacle
If I were to ask you what the best, most practical, most helpful parenting passage in
all the Bible was, what would you answer? The Great Commission? Yes! I cannot think
of any directive more appropriate to every Christian parent than this one. Here's why:
Your job as a Christian parent is to do everything within your power, as an instrument
in the hands of the Redeemer who has employed you, to woo, encourage, call, and train
your children to willingly and joyfully live as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. This
calling is more important than how they do in school, or how positively they contribute
to the reputation of your family, or how well they set themselves up for a future career,
or how well they do in sports and the arts, or how well they are liked by adults and
peers. These things aren't unimportant, but we must not let them rise to the importance
of this one thing: discipleship. I have to ask you: how well are you making disciples of
your children?
Mom and dad, your hope as a parent is not found in your power, your wisdom, your
character, your experience, or your success. You are not in this parenting drama alone.
Your potential is greater than the size of your weaknesses, because the One who is
without weakness is with you, and he does his best work through those who admit that
they are weak but in weakness still heed his call. The Great Commission summarizes
your calling as parents, and its promises remind you of where you can look for help and
hope!

Our monthly breakfasts have moved to funding
our Long Term Repair Account.
Through this we have been able to do things like
bringing the grand piano into the sanctuary and
building the new steps and ramp on the south
doors of the gym, and the new glass to be put in
the north entry. Our Exploratory Committee will
be wrapping up their assessments at the end of this
year and will be presenting projects for long-term
repair. A few of the major ones include gym
renovation, new carpet/flooring, and LED lighting
switch over. For more info, contact DJ or Jason.
