What a beautiful week we’re having in the country! I am thankful for every blessing, great and small. We had a great Sunday yesterday, February 26th at the Enola church of Christ with 143 members and guests gathered together for worship and fellowship. I hope that you were encouraged and challenged by the time we spent together.

This Sunday, March 4th (I can’t hardly believe that it’s March already) will be one of our very special Sundays at Enola. We will meet for Bible study at 10:00 and for worship at 11:00. Immediately following our worship hour we will walk over to the fellowship hall for a luncheon together. Right after we get everything put away, we will walk back over for our “evening” service in the afternoon. We will then break for the day. Please be reminded of this very special Sunday and make sure to prepare enough food for your family and our guests. Cindi and I will certainly do our part. Our house always smells so good on a “pot-luck” Sunday morning.

Our new sermon series will continue this Sunday with the second question God asked Adam in Genesis chapter three: “Who Told You That?” Some people will say, “I feel that such and such is just fine” when it comes to religion. Well, who told you that? It wasn’t God. God has given us the Bible to help us to know, not feel what is “just fine” when it comes to our relationship with Him. Some people say, “A person doesn’t have to be baptized to be saved.” Well, who told you that? Certainly God didn’t tell you that. God tells us that those who believe and are baptized will be saved (Mark 16:16). Some people say, “One church is just as good as the other.” Who told you that? God certainly didn’t. Jesus built His church. The Bible speaks about Christ’s body, His church not many, but one. We will think about several ideas that Satan has planted in the minds of too many people in the world today and ask, “Who told you that?”

On Sunday afternoon following our luncheon we will consider a series of sermons entitled “God is Able.” Our biggest issue is not God’s ability, but our choice to trust and obey Him. Faith or Fear – Which Will It Be For Me? We are often tested, tempted, and tried. God asks His children to follow Him beside the still waters and sometimes into the raging waters. He asks us to follow Him into green pastures and also into areas of barren wilderness. He asks us to follow Him in life and also through the valley of the shadow of death. We must not be afraid, because He is always with us.

Have a great week. Get out and enjoy this beautiful spring weather. Look up to heaven to thank the Lord for His grace and providence toward us all.
