AUGUST 28, 2011 EACH WEEK…

Galatians 4:6-20

6And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

8Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 9But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 1 0Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 1 1 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

1 2Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 1 3Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 1 4And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

1 5Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 1 6Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? 1 7They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. 1 8But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.

1 9My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 2 0 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

~ SCRIPTURE READINGS ~ THANK YOU ALL

1Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Ps 48:1,2

Who were able to participate and contribute to our yearly Barbeque Fellowship at Heather Farm Park. We once again had a great time. The weather was superb and the turn out of the family was tremendous—the best yet.

Why we do it? Because it is right. We should have times of refreshing, our families should enjoy a relaxing atmosphere, and the children should have a legacy of enjoyment among the people of God as they mature.

It should serve as a pattern for the next generation. It is an indication of how important we are to each other as a local Church.

May God grant us grace to see the value of the members of His body and the necessity of our mutual interest and welfare to the edification and happiness of the Church.

For all of you who served so vigorously thank you very much. Thanks Barbara G for keeping the cotton candy and snow cones flowing. We all appreciate it. Especially the children. PJ

The Foundation of the Church

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 3:11

The foundation of the true Church was laid at a mighty cost. It

needed that the Son of God should take our nature upon Him, and in

that nature live, suffer, and die, not for His own sins, but for ours. It

needed that in that nature Christ should go to the grave, and rise

again. It needed that in that nature Christ should go up to heaven, to

sit at the right hand of God, having obtained eternal redemption for

all His people. No other foundation could have met the necessities of

lost, guilty, corrupt, weak, helpless sinners.

PASTOR’S COMMENTARY AND OUTLINE

Preach on Hell…Because it is Scriptural 7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev 21:7-8

If you would ever be a

healthy and scriptural

Christian, I entreat you

to beware of any

ministry which does not

plainly teach the reality

and eternity of hell.

Such a ministry may be

soothing and pleasant,

but it is far more likely

to lull you to sleep than

to lead you to Christ or build you up in the faith. It is impossible

to leave out any portion of God’s truth without spoiling the

whole. That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively

on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven and never sets

forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell. It may be

popular, but it is not scriptural; it may amuse and gratify, but it

will not save. Give me the preaching which keeps back nothing

that God has revealed.
