Summer Series Going Strong - Each Tuesday this Summer at 7:00 p.m.

June 2018 – Thank you to every member of the Watterson Trail church of Christ who came out for our 100% Attendance Day last Sunday (June 3^rd).  We had a very good crowd of family and friends (117) gathered together to honor God and show Him our love and gratitude in study, fellowship, and worship.  100% is just a goal to reach out to.  Of course we all understand that some members are sick or caring for those who are sick.  Some are homebound.  Some are traveling for work, a holiday, or some other reason.  Some have to work (police officers, security, nurses, doctors, fire department, etc.). And of course, a few others just need our love, patience, and prayers to God for them.  Jesus Himself said, “For where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I among them” (Matthew 18:20 ESV).  

I hope you are enjoying our Sunday Morning Series, “Six Benefits of Faith in God.”  Faith in God  determines what God can do in my life.  Now before anyone gets “up in the air” about such a statement.  I am not at all trying to limit God.  He is Sovereign.  Look at what Isaiah wrote about the relationship between God and those who would ask for His help in Isaiah 59:1-2.  God can.  However, if our prayers seem fruitless and our lives helpless what could be the problem?  Well, Isaiah writes about God’s decision to withhold His ear and His arm.  Why?  Isaiah told those of old; “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you so that HE WILL NOT HEAR.”  Faith in God can solve impossible problems.  Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 17:20 that if they would have faith; “nothing shall be impossible to you.”   

This Sunday (10^th) we’ll focus our attention on benefit #3 and the fact that our “Faith in God is the Key to Answered Prayer.”  And then on Sunday afternoon we’ll continue in our series on the B-Attitudes and focus on the pure in heart.  Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”  Don’t you want to see God one day?  I certainly do.  Well, then, we need to be pure in heart.  Are you clean and free from impurities and contaminates in your life?  What about how you see things?  Do you look for the good in the world?  Of course we can only be pure and remain pure in Christ Jesus.

GOING STRONG:  Our Tuesday Summer Series “The Greatest Questions – The Greatest Answers – The Greatest Book” got off to a great beginning last Tuesday with Brother Dean Beard.  Brother Luke Ashby from the New Harmony congregation is up next (Tuesday, June 12^th – 7:00 p.m.) with the question; “Will a Man Rob God?”  Remember, we will not meet on Wednesday evening during June, July, and August.  Come and grow your faith ever stronger every Tuesday in the summer.
