Mark Wade, Deacon FIRST CHRIS- TIAN CHURCH 1400 E. Main Street Petersburg 812-354-6775 941-730-6324 Psalm 8 is a wonderful re- minder of the majesty of God. In the midst of our lives, this reminder is extremely valu- able. This Psalm magnifies God above everything on earth. Our God is great. Here are the words penned by Da- vid a long time ago: "LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of chil- dren and infants you have es- tablished a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. "When I consider your heav- ens, the work of your fingers the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angel and crowned them with glory and honor. "You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! " Worship with us this Sun- day at 10 :30 a.m. as we study the life of Christ from Mark's gospel. You are Love.

You a wel- come to worship and fellow- ship with us. Kindness "If you sow kindness, you will reap a crop of friends." "Kindness is a hard thing to give away; It usually comes back." "Kindness is the fourth part of the fruit of the Spirit" (Ga- latians 5:22). "Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance" (Romans 2:4). Note the context in which Paul tells us the above. Because He lives.

Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this tem- ple made with human hands and in three days will build an- other, not made with hands.'" Yet even then their testimony did not agree. Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you? " But Je- sus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Bless- ed One? " "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses? " he asked. "You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think? " They all condemned him as worthy of death. (Mark 14:57-64). Joe Henson, Pastor Matt Haycraft, Reporter JESUS CHRIST OUR FIRM FOUNDATION 1415 N.

Help yourself to "FREE FOOD" and may God Bless all of you. "The Bible says that in Heaven there are two sets of books. One set records ev- ery detail of our lives; every- thing we have done since the day we were born. All of that will be against us at judgment. But scripture tells us there is another book in Heaven; the Book of Life. When we come to Christ, when we believe that He is risen and we re- ceive Him into our lives, our names are blotted out of the first set of books. God no lon- ger even remembers our sins, because they have been blot- ted out by the blood of Christ, shed on the cross for us"—by Billy Graham. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire. See Revelation 20 :1. This is why it is so import- ant to have your name in heav- en, eternity is forever. We have a choice where we choose to spend it, Heaven or Hell. I pray that whoever reads this will know that God is serious, and that all you have to do is open the door of your heart and in- vite Jesus in. Remember this—if your right and I'm wrong then you won't have to worry about the consequences, but if I'm right and you don't know Jesus, then you have everything to worry about. That's not my words, that's Gods word. Why would you want to take that chance. Amen.

Hwy. 61 Spurgeon Pastor Cell 812-202- 8903 or church office 812-922-8215 Church service 9 a.m.; Fri- day Bible study at 1 p.m. Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty" ( John 6:35). He communicated two im- portant things: First, the bread of which He spoke is a person, not a commodity (v. 32). Second, when people put their trust in Jesus for forgive- ness of sin, they enter into a right relationship with Him and find fulfillment for ev- ery craving of their soul. This bread is everlasting, spiritual food that leads to satisfaction and life. When we place our trust in Jesus, the true bread from heaven, we'll crave Him, and He'll strengthen and trans- form our lives. Why do you think we crave things we know can never satisfy the deepest cravings of our souls? What are some practical practices that will help you crave Jesus more? "Jesus, Bread of life, may I crave You and find all I need in Your perfect provision"— Amen. Josh Sanders, Pastor Sherry Julian, Reporter WHITE RIVER CHAPEL UMC 3555 W. SR 56 Bowman 812-582-8896 Sunday worship 9 a.m.; Sun- day school 10 :15 a.m. We are exploring the words in Philippians 4:4-9 and how they can help us thrive in cha- os. So many trials come into 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 King- dom of God, and His righteous- ness; and all these things will be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). What things will be added? God's order back into our lives— a peace that passes all under- standing—He is in control. Facebook: White River Chapel UMC, Jeff Pinney.
