Special Guests at 10:31

Dave Brewer gave me this description of what’s happening tomorrow night at the 10:31 youth ministry meeting (7:30 p.m. in the Events Center):
10:31 meetings always present a great opportunity for parents and teens to gather to worship God and be taught from his Word.
Tomorrow night will be a bit different though. We have the privilege of hosting Dean and Denise Adamek and their three sons for this meeting. Dean Adamek is the director of Rancho 3M Christian orphanage in Guadalupe, Mexico, where the 10:31 youth ministry visits and serves every summer. We have worked with Dean and Rancho 3M for many years now, but this is the first time that Dean has visited our 10:31 meeting.
We will spend the evening in a question and answer session with Dean and Denise, hearing how the Lord saved them and how he called and led them to serve at an orphanage in Mexico. All are welcome to come and hear what God is doing through this family. Hope to see you there.

A Prayer for Our New President
0 Comments
Last Sunday we took some time to pray for our nation and President Obama. I read a prayer written by Dr. Albert Mohler, and since then several people have asked me for a copy of it. You’ll find it here on his website, www.albertmohler.com.

Encouraging Words for Braden
0 Comments
I received a copy of this note of encouragement that Jean Mays sent to Braden Greer (and I heartily agree with her!):
Braden,
Thank you for being faithful to preach God’s Word with such clarity and eloquence this past Sunday. I find it hard to believe you’ve never preached from the front on a Sunday before. The Lord definitely ministered to me through you. Clearly God’s Word is alive and living, yet the way you organized your points and delivered the teaching was particularly clear to me and easy for me to understand and follow.I just received the summary and discussion questions from Matt Maka that he regularly sends to Care Group leaders. I look forward to reviewing your message in my quiet times this week.
You are a gifted preacher, Braden! Be encouraged that the Lord is using you and your gifts for my good and His glory.
Grateful,Jean

Ephesians, Part 15: Application
2 Comments
Yesterday Braden Greer taught us from Ephesians 4:25-32 on the foundation, model and substance of our new behavior in Christ, made possible by our new nature. Great job, Braden!
You can listen online or download the message here.
And here are pastor Don DeVries’ application questions:
1. Braden reminded us that God first acted upon us to give us a new nature, thereby making new actions possible. How does this regenerative activity of God give us hope for real change?
2. Ephesians 5:1 calls us to “be imitators of God, as beloved children.” How do each of the five moral commands about truth, anger, generosity, words and forgiveness reflect some aspect of God’s character?
3. Braden pointed out that “our actions are meant for the good of others.” What is the negative impact to our brothers and sisters and the church when we lie, express sinful anger or steal?
4. “Putting on” involves repentance and obedience. If the Lord brought specific conviction in the area of lying, sinful anger or stealing through this message, what will repentance and obedience look like in your life?

Busy Sunday, Braden Up To Preach
0 CommentsTomorrow, Braden Greer will be preaching from our next Ephesians passage: chapter 4, verses 25-32. This will be Braden’s first time preaching on a Sunday, and I’m so excited to learn from this gifted man.
Bob Kauflin will lead our time of singing, and since it’s the first Sunday of the month, we’ll begin memorizing a new hymn. For February it’s “Be Thou My Vision.” We will also take time to pray for the nation of Tajikistan as well as our own nation and our new President.
