Matters of Prayer

“For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:14, 15

Praise:
Thank You Lord for the constraining and compelling nature of Your love within us.

Prayer:
The bone cancer in Paul Wolkersdorfer SR. was confirmed this last week and a plan for treatment is now being made. Pray for a miracle of healing according to the will of God and His grace to abound int this difficult time.

Keep in your prayer the Biblical World View series that will be starting soon, that that the Lord would use it to bring clarity and understanding in contrast of what the Bible says and our current world view topics & issues.

Lord Help us to focus on You....

Lord help me to put my trust in You and rely on You when things get hard, help me not to loose focus and live like a heathen. Lord I thank You for Your Word You have given me thanks be to You. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Be in prayer for the Biblical World View series [Sounds like this will be very good can't wait!] that will be starting "soon." It will be a great time for new folks to get answers & guidance as well as for seasoned believers to revisit issues in light of Scripture, all to develop and refine our Biblical World View.

Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. Romans 5:18

Praise:
Thank You Lord for making us alive in You.

Last Sunday evening went with great fellowship and compelling teaching through our live stream web cast.
Just a side note: there was no real fellowship at the church it was just watching the web cast that's all, no talking and fellowshiping none whatsoever none. I don't know why Paul said, "We had great fellowship." Makes no sense to me. Just thought I would let you know that I dissaggree with Paul on that sorry I didn't really see any fellowship; so I just thought I would let you know because Paul is not really telling the truth here sad coming from a pastor; I don't understand why he would say this just can't grasp this.

Prayer
Paul Wolkersdorfer Sr. Broke his arm in 3 places and will be having surgey on Thursday. Just a side note: that surgery already took place cause today is Friday, I don't know how surgery went I will find out this Sunday.

Niki is finishing up inpatient treatment for eating disorders and will be spending the weekend with her parents. Niki and her husband Jon will be then moving to silverdale where Jon was accepted an employment transfer offer. May God giver her stability and firm rootedness as they make yet another move. (nineth move third state in 16 months) A side note: Once again how can you get rooted in a church if you keep moving just don't understand what Paul was trying to say once again. This is not good grammar for Paul, he needs to make more sense than what he just said here this hard to grasp let alone even to try and figure out, come on Paul make some sense here make it plain and easy to understand.

Please pray as the planning begins to live stream the Prophecy Update event on New Year's Eve. It will be very informative time and will be a great opportunity for folks to invite friends, neighbors and relatives, and will also be available for the local community and other church brothers & sisters.

Continue to pray for the family of Billy (Sheri's cousin) as he passed away from H1N1 flue last week.
