“I will place no value on anything I have or possess
except in relation to the Kingdom of Christ. If anything I have will advance that Kingdom,
it shall be given or kept whichever will best promote the glory of Him to whom I owe all my hopes, both for time and eternity.”
(David Livingstone, English Missionary and Explorer of Africa)
“God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” (J Hudson Taylor, English Missionary to China)
Reasons to give 10% or more . . .
It will give the Lord first place in your life. If someone saw your financial records, would they quickly know who or what you value. By giving the best of what you have to God, you are expressing your allegiance to him. You will grow in your respect for the Lord and will see him working more active-ly in your life. (Deuteronomy 14:23, Malachi 1:6-8)
For the safe-
ty and security of eve-ryone, your backpack or bag may be inspected.
Thanks for your cooper-ation!

“This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples When they see the love you have for each other.”
John 13:3
Patience
God is often more patient with us than we are with ourselves. We assume that if we fall, we are not born again. If we stumble, then we are not truly converted. If we have
the old desires, then we must not be a new creation.
If you are anxious about this, please remember, “God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.” (Philippians 1:6)

Science Seminar
Date and Time – Tuesday, October 22 at 7:00 pm Theme – Live Lessons from the Bible and Biology
Combining God’s living Word with God’s living creation, this presentation will begin with several live animals,
focusing on both their incredible design and the lessons they teach us about God and His Word. These themes look at how a Madagascar Hissing cockroach can teach us about bearing a burden, based on real life technology being used by scientists. About an African Bullfrog, that lies dormant for ten months, only to come to life once again and teach us what it means to be devoted. Can a lizard have no legs and still teach us about change? Or a Hornbill bird exhort us to watch over others? And what can watching a tarantula shed teach us about salvation? After these animals and the themes that accompany them are answered, this wildly interactive presentation ends with a summary of how important it is to see how God’s creation and Genesis, ultimately points us to our Creator Jesus, His gospel and the rest of Scripture.

“Dealing With Critical People”
October 20, 2019 Al Fadi
Imagine that you have just discovered the most exciting thing in the whole world and you decide to share it with your friend. Your friend listens intently then begins to critically analyze the news you have just shared with him/her, in a negative way? Did this ever happen to you? Does it sound familiar? This is the typical behavior of “critical people”! No matter what you say, they always find some way to derail the mood of the conversation. Rather than giving you praise, they tend to only criticize. How can we deal with such people whom we are bound to run into? John 1:43 - The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” John 1:44 - Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. John 1:45 - Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. John 1:46 - Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 1. Do not _______ _______ _______________
