The Press-Dispatch Church Wednesday, Februar y 14, 2018 C- 3 you count on seeing them when you are at their facili- ty. At Golden Living center we lost a good friend as she has battled her ailments for a long time, but we know she enjoyed our music . We will miss her being there. This week I'm going to get hard on someone and make this bold statement. Do you realize how many of your friends you could help see the truth about the saving grace of Jesus just because they look up to you and admire your de- cisions. You never know who is watching your life and making decisions be- cause they are watching you. So be a blessing and be blessed because you do what's right just because it's the right thing to do.

This Sunday's sermon ti- tle is: "Jesus, God's Creative Word." Scripture reading: John 6:16 -23. Theme statement: Christ demonstrated his pow- er over all things when he walked on the water. Jesus will come to us today walk- ing across the sea of life to where we are. This proves that there is nothing that we are going through that he cannot save us from. There are three ways Je- sus proves his creative pow- er. 1. When Jesus comes to us. 2. When Jesus helps us. 3. When Jesus saves us. Leon Pomeroy, Pastor SPURGEON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 11505 N.

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. Questions regarding church events, call 812-582- 8896. Mailing Address: P.O.

February is here and 12 days have slipped by. Have you done anything constructive for the King- dom of God as witnessing to a lost soul, helping someone in need, just being an arm for someone to lean on? Has anything beneficial come from your Christian walk so far this year? Time will slip by and then you will have a sorrowful heart at the end of the year again. Have a little talk with Jesus and put your life in the right perspective. Be blessed and be about the Master's business. Leading the lost to the cross. Pray for your country, our president and government, your local government, our soldiers and all pastors. Re- member to pray for the sick and afflicted, and those in the nursing homes and hos- pitals, and also pray about the elections. Be a friend to your neigh- bors, co-workers, any with whom you come into con- tact. To have a friend, you need to be a friend. Jesus said what you give out is what you will receive back. May you find peace and joy in your life this week.

Relinquishing control Marcia shared how she'd been struggling to relin- quish control and let God di- rect her life. One day, amid this challenge, her daughter approached her for home- work help, which called for the use of an iPad. As Mar- cia struggled to make sense if her daughter's question, the youngster kept swiping the screen, zooming in and out and grabbing the tablet to turn it toward herself. "If you want my help," said Mar- cia in exasperation, "then let me help! " Suddenly Marcia had an a-ha! moment: Hadn't God been saying the same thing to her all the while? To truly benefit from God's help, she would have to stop trying to do everything herself, let go, sit back and accept His guid- ance. Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday.
