2012 Here We Go

Please note our schedule change this week. We meet for worship at 10:00. There will be no Sunday School before the service.

On January 8 the normal schedule resumes. Our worship service on New Year’s Day will encourage and challenge us all. We will be singing selections of music that you have chosen, we will hear testimonies of God’s blessing through the past year, and we will be led in prayer for ministries, missions, and guidance.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Philippians 3:12-16

Oh, I forgot something…

Remember that class 2 weeks ago about “Which Bible is the Best”?

Well, there was something I forgot to say. So let me say it now.It doesn’t matter if you choose the NIV, NASB, ESV, KJV, NKJV, HCSB or XYZ – if you don’t read it, you will get absolutely nothing out of it!! What is your Bible reading plan for 2012?

This year I’m doing the 5X5 plan. My Bible has 1,200 pages and I plan to read 5 pages a day, 5 days a week.

Find a plan that works for you and follow it. You can read through the Bible.

Here are multiple options.

Raising Kids

If you have kids, take 10 minutes and read this article.
It gives us hope as we raise up these cowboys (or as my NIV says, “cowpersons”).

I do not have a practice of choosing a verse for the coming year, but we read 2 verses this morning that are going to be our 2012 verses.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:13-14
