Spring is on the horizon and boy, am I ready! I just love country living, cattle on a thousand hills, country dogs stopping by the house to visit, sitting on my front porch reading God’s word, watching the glorious sunrise early in the morning, looking out from my back yard at the beautiful sunset in the evening, going for an walk with my wife beside me discussing the events of the day, listening to the silence of the night. Thank you, Lord for your grace and mercy , for your rich blessings today and every day. Oh, that others could experience such wonders of God!

Wow! What a Sunday we enjoyed at the Enola Church of Christ this past Sunday, March 4th! We had a wonderful Bible study together with Brother Jim Montgomery teaching on the Missionary Journey’s of the Apostle Paul. Of course our teens and children meet for Bible study in their age-specific sessions. We had a good crowd (142) for worship. I am preaching a series entitled “God’s Questions! Man’s Answers?” Right after the morning worship hour we walked over to the fellowship hall for a luncheon together. What a sight to behold! We have the best cooks in the state! Not bragging! Just stating facts. After lunch we met back in the main building for our afternoon worship hour. God is blessing us. May we, today and always appreciate His rich blessings by living for Him in thought, word, and deed.

Our Sunday night series is entitled “God is Able.” When we read the Bible we find that there was no limit to what the men and women believed God could do. The Lord promised Abraham that he and his wife, Sarah would have a son. Sarah laughed. She was 90 years old. Abraham believed. The Lord said to Sarah, “Is anything to hard for the Lord?” Abraham was fully convinced that God was able to fulfill His promises. God always fulfills His promises. He believed that God could raise Isaac from the dead. That wasn’t necessary. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego believed that the Lord could save them from the furnace of fire and even if He didn’t, that wouldn’t change their commitment to Him. The Lord saved them. Jesus, His disciples, and His mother were at a wedding feast in Cana. The wine ran out. Mary said to the servants, “Whatever He tells you to do, do it.” What does that say about her faith in what Jesus was able to do? He turned water into the best wine. If you have doubts about God’s ability to help you in your life, make the short drive out to the country to Enola on Sunday evening at 5:00 and find out just what the Lord can do for you today. You will be very welcome.

Ladies, remember the Ladies’ Bible study at Marilyn Ruple’s this coming Thursday evening, March 8th at 7:00. Come and bring a friend. Guys: Our Men’s Fellowship is planned for Thursday evening, March 15th at the home of Steve Mooningham at 7:00. The Men’s Fellowship only lasts about an hour. Don’t worry about being out too late. We hope the Enola ladies and the Enola men will take advantage of these very special get-togethers.

See you on Wednesday evening at 7:00. The adults are studying “The Deep Things of God.” This week we are looking at the second coming of Christ. Very interesting!
