1. Be encouraged to tell others about the Lord! Give glory to God by sharing your witnessing encounters!
(To shy to speak up in class???? Share your story and you never know what kind of impact that may have on
someone who is directed to our site or stumbles upon our site. Let's see who we can reach - even from the comfort of our own home, from the computer . . . be DOERS of the word!
So many things are going on in this world . . . be preoccupied with the needs of others!
Please know that there are SO MANY LOST PEOPLE that need to hear that best news of all!
Don't wait any longer . . . give someone a tract today, leave a tract wherever you go, tell someone about
our amazing Lord and Savior! He SAVES! JESUS SAVES!!!!!
"My kingdom does not belong to this world." John 18:36
Unhappiness on earth cultivates a hunger for heaven. We are not happy here because we are not at home here.
We are not happy here because we are not supposed to be happy here. We are like foreigners and strangers in this world.
Oh, you will have your moments of joy. You will catch glimpses of light. You will know moments or even days of peace.
But they simply do not compare with the happiness that lies ahead . . . . ((Max Lucado)

5. Sunday School Lesson
2 TIMOTHY 3:1-7
WHEN WE SAY A PERSON "HAS GUTS" WE MEAN THAT THEY HAVE COURAGE.*
A "GUT CHECK" IS A SITUATION THAT PUTS US TO THE TEST TO SEE WHETHER WE
HAVE "GUTS" OR COURAGE.*
2 TIMOTHY 3:1-7 TALKS ABOUT THE "LAST DAYS", DO WE HAVE THE COURAGE OF
OUR CONVICTIONS?*
WHAT DO I LOVE? V: 1-4*
*1**. THIS KNOW ALSO, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME.
2. FOR MEN SHALL BE LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES, COVETOUS, BOASTERS,
PROUD, BLASPHEMERS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY,
3. WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, TRUCE BREAKERS, FALSE ACCUSERS,
INCONTINENT, FIERCE, DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD,
4. TRAITORS, HEADY, HIGH MINDED, LOVERS OF PLEASURES MORE THAN LOVERS OF
GOD;*
*DO I LOVE MYSELF MORE THAN I LOVE GOD?*
*DO I LOVE PLEASURE MORE THAN I LOVE GOD? V: 4*
*HOW DO I LIVE? – V: 5-6*
*5**. HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF: FROM
SUCH TURN AWAY.
6. FOR OF THIS SORT ARE THEY WHICH CREEP INTO HOUSES, AND LEAD CAPTIVE
SILLY WOMEN LADEN WITH SINS, LED AWAY WITH DIVERS LUSTS,*
*DO I HAVE JUST A FORM OF GODLINESS, WITHOUT ANY REAL POWER TO LIVE A
GODLY LIFE?*
*THAT POWER IS THE RESULT OF BEING YIELDED AND HAVING FAITH. *
*GALATIANS 2:20, ROMANS 6:11-14*
*HOW DO I LEARN? – V: 7*
*7**. EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE
TRUTH.*
*MANY CHRISTIANS SIT IN CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL, BUT NEVER LEARN. THEIR
LIVES NEVER CHANGE.*
*OH, THEY MAY HAVE SOME "HEAD KNOWLEDGE" BUT THEY LACK "HEART
KNOWLEDGE". THEY HAVE NOT APPLIED WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED TO DAILY LIVING.*
Tragedy can make you bitter or better. Which do you choose?
TRUE Christianity is a relationship with Jesus. Go ahead, open up the BOOK OF LIFE and it will
give you EVERYTHING you need!
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 2 Timothy 3:16
Look For Me
When you finally make your entrance to that city
Of jasper walls and bright golden avenues
As you behold all its beauty and its splendor
Remember there's just one request I make of you.
Look for me for I will be there too
I realize when you arrive
There'll be so much to view
After you've been there ten thousand years
A million maybe two
Look for me for I will be there too.
As you go down your list of firsts there's no question
You'll want to see your loved ones waiting there for you
And when you feel you've told your story to the last one
Who wants to hear you tell just how you made it through.
Look for me for I will be there too
I realize when you arrive
There'll be so much to view
After you've been there ten thousand years
A million maybe two
Look for me for I will be there too.
After you've been there ten thousand years
A million maybe two
Look for me for I will be there too.
HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!
