This Sunday begins our Gospel Meeting here at the Waverly Church of Christ. We welcome you to join us in person each time that we meet. This year our theme, “Encouragement” will be spoken from the stand 2016-gospel-meetingpoint of being encouraged to Trust in God and live a life according to His Word. Brother David Sain from Fayetteville, TN will be with us as our speaker. He will bring God’s Word to us in such a way that will encourage all of us to do just that.

Sunday Morning Bible Class – Freedom (a study of the freedom we have in Christ – the freedom from the guilt of sin, and the freedom from the fear of tomorrow).

Sunday Morning A.M. Worship – The Righteous Shall Live (a study of the righteousness of God, in making it possible for us to become saved by grace, through faith).
Sunday Evening P.M. Worship –  How Much More Now (a study of how God loved us enough to give Jesus to die for us, when we were sinners, and how much more he loves us now as his children – – giving the Christian confidence at the judgment).
MondayTrusting God’s Promise ( a study of the way Christians should react to the troubles and trials of life – – trusting in God’s promise in 1 Corinthians10:13).
Tuesday You Can Do This (although our talents and opportunities differ, the one thing EVERY Christian can do is be faithful; a study of what constitutes faithfulness).
WednesdayWhen the Roll is Called (a study of The Book of Life – – the confidence in knowing that your name is in that book).

 

In these difficult times, if you haven’t already done so, I want to encourage each of you to pick up God’s Word. Read it. Meditate upon it. Let God speak to your heart and your soul. I promise you, it will make a difference in your life. Time spent in His Word on a regular basis will bring more benefit to your life than we can possibly fathom.

But, who are we? Paul says we are “earthen vessels”(NKJV, NASB95), “jars of clay” (ESV, NIV84). Long ago, Job asked God, “Remember now, that You have made me as clay” (Job 10:9). You and I carry about in our frail mortal bodies a light derived from the central source of light, Jesus Christ. Paul said that it is in order “to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Corinthians 4:7b, ESV)

Today, if you and I are to have any part in Him, we must allow Him to wash us in the waters of baptism, even as the early Christians did.
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3–6

In the first part, we began looking at John 11, and the amazing miracle which John narrates for us — the raising of Lazarus, a man who had been dead…
When Abram, Levi & Saul’s names were changed, they were thereafter called by their new name.  Why was Jacob called both Jacob & Israel after his name was changed?
