Main Street Petersburg 812-354-6775 (Office) 941-730-6324 (Dennis Randall) We serve a risen Savior. His resurrection gives us the hope (anticipation) that we too will experience resurrection. We'll receive a new body, and according to The Revelation, there will be pain, or sorrow, in fact, no more death. In the meantime, we live our lives in this weak and frail body. In the body, we face many struggles. There is pain, physical and emotional. We ride the roller coaster of emotions. We deal with sorrow and sadness. But…in Christ, this life is not the end. In fact, in Christ, our lives are simply a prelude for the eternal existence we will have in the presence of God. So, we face physical and emotional struggles. What do we do? We turn to a loving Father who understands our needs. Even more, by Christ's presence in our lives, and the presence of the Holy Spirit, we have hope, even in this life. Here's what the apostle Paul said about our struggle: Ephesians 3:20 -21: "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever"—Amen.

Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple 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.

I was inspired by the Holy Spirit to share it with our readers. There is a place, I've been told, beyond an open gate, all have been invited, where friends and loved ones wait. It holds eternal promise , of everlasting peace, no pain or sorrow ever comes and teardrops there have ceased. Abundant life is evi- dent, constant fresh and new, a garden of provision, with eternity in view. The promise is awaiting, a place we can abide, fulfilled for all who answer, the call to come inside.

"For the love of Christ con- straineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Wherefore hence- forth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (II Corinthians 5:14-17).

"When we have opportuni- ties to share with others, we rightly give attention to mat- ters of food, setting, and other things that are fitting for such occasions. But we sometimes forget that although "the what" and "the where" matter, they're not the most important things. Memorable meals are great and pleasant settings have their place, but food is limited in its capacity to fully nourish and encourage. True refreshment flows from God and is a matter of the heart; it reaches the hearts of others, and it continues to nourish long after the meal is over" — Arthur Jackson. What occasions stand out where you were memorably refreshed by the hospitality or welcome of other? How can you change the way you ser ve others to make such occasions more spirtually meaningful?

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 righ- teousness; and all these things will be added unto you" (Mat- thew 6:33). What things will be added? God's order back into our lives—a peace that passes all understanding—He is in con- trol. Facebook: White River Chapel UMC, Jeff Pinney.

Satan wants you to miss that appointment. He wants to make you too busy, too disappointed, too hurt, to keep that appointment. Tell him, God has a seed for you and you are keeping your ap- pointment with your destiny.
