"If you're listening, here's My message: Keep lov- ing your enemies no mat- ter what they do. Keep do- ing good to those who hate you. Keep speaking bless- ings on those who curse you. Keep praying for those who mistreat you. If you want to be extraordinary— love your enemies. Do good without restraint. Lend with abandon. Don't expect any- thing in return. Then you'll receive the truly great re- ward—you will be children of the Most High—for God is kind to the ungrateful and those who are wicked. So imitate God and be truly compassionate, the way your Father is. If you don't want to be judged, don't judge. If you don't want to be condemned, don't condemn. If you want to be forgiven, forgive. Don't hold back—give freely, and you'll have plenty poured back into your lap—a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, brimming over. You'll receive in the same measure you give" (Luke 6:27-28,35 -38). Check location and time for upcoming events, www. livingfc.org. Mailing address: P.O. Box 566, Petersburg, IN.

Sermon Title: Easy An- swers? Jesus, as recorded in Luke's Gospel, continues some hard teaching with another Para- ble, this one about wanting to be rewarded for doing your job. This is not about high- er wages or earning a decent salary, worthy of the work we have signed up to do. This is about wanting to be noticed, patted on the back, requiring to be thanked just for doing what we are supposed to be doing. When is it that our hu- man expectations get in the way of responding to the call of the gospel to spread the good news? When is it that we demand the glory instead of following the example of Je- sus, who in John tells us that the purpose of his life was to glorify God? Hard questions, and do we want easy answers? Michael (Mike) Punke, Pastor PETERSBURG FREE METHODIST CHURCH 202 E.

So many trials come in- to our lives and along with the business of life. These things can easily choke out the Life of God in us. But praise God, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). What things will be add- ed? God's order back into our lives—a peace that pass- es all understanding—He is in control. Facebook: White River Chapel UMC, Jeff Pinney.

Jeff Pinney, Pastor Methodist and all the Prophets, he ex- plained to them what was said in all the scriptures concern- ing himself" (Luke 24:27). "Every story whispers His name, even the hard stories, because they reveal the com- prehensive brokenness of our world and our need for a res- cuer. Every act, every event, every intervention points to the redemption God designed for His wayward loved ones, to bring us back to Himself"— Elisa Morgan. Dear God, help me listen as You whisper Your name through the stories of Scrip- ture. Every story.
