1 Committed to His Will, His Way, and His Word 18 The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD. Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV) It is the vision of Mount Olive to be a church that is intentional in its efforts to identify and meet the needs of broken, hurt and oppressed people in the greater Glen Allen area through the message and ministry of Jesus Christ MOBC Core Values Radical Hospitality Passionate Worship Intentional Faith Development Risk-Taking Mission & Service Extravagant Generosity JANUARY 2019 MINISTRY MEETINGS Mon. 14 Congregational Care 6:00 PM Renewed Young Adult Ministry Room 6:30 PM Sunday School 6:30 PM Tue. 15 Greeters 7:00 PM Male 7:00 PM Thu. 17 Deacons Ministry Room 7:00 PM Mon. 21 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Church Office & Buildings Closed Tue. 22 Official Board 7:00 PM Bereavement Support 6:00 PM Thu. 24 Missions 6:30 PM Sat. 26 USDA Food Mon. 28 Civic 6:00 PM Deaconess 6:30 PM Quarterly Church 7:00 PM 2019 Theme:: The Year Of Ephesians 2:10 For we are God s masterpiece.

2 2 MOBC COMMUNITY NEWS!! The Season of January 6 March 6, 2019 The Pulpit Attire is Green The color for Epiphany is GREEN. The color GREEN stands for life and growth. The color of the table cloth on the Communion table and podium are changed to GREEN to indicate the season. The pulpit dress is changed according to the season of the Christian Calendar. Look for further information on the Christian Calendar and pulpit dress colors in the near future. Theme For This Quarter: OUR LOVE FOR GOD This quarter s study begins with God s demands for our complete and undivided love as shown in passages from Deuteronomy and Psalms. It proceeds with our response to God s love in the advent of Christ, and the epistles interpretations of the nature and extend of our responses to God s love in Christ. It concludes with passages from three of the psalms expressing glorification of God. UNIT 2 LOVING GOD BY TRUSTING CHRIST Matthew continues to inspire trust in God for all things, while James encourages total submission to God in love. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul gives an Interpretation of human devotion to God in Christ; promotes selfless devotion through exemplification of Christ s total submission to God in love, and encourages giving up everything for the sake of one s love for Christ. NEXT WEEK S LESSON: January 20, 2019 Submit to God in Christ Philippians 1:12-21 It is easy to become demoralized by difficult circumstances and adversaries. How can people maintain their joy? Paul willingly submits to God s will and rejoices that his sufferings have led to further proclamation of the Gospel. * MONDAY: God Sent Me to Preserve You Genesis 45:1-8 * TUESDAY: The Spirit Rested on the Elders Numbers 11:24-30 * WEDNESDAY: Apostles Are Fools for Christ 1 Corinthians 4:8-13 * THURSDAY: Sharing Life in Christ Now Philippians 1:22-26 * FRIDAY: Believing in and Suffering Philippians 1:27-30 * SATURDAY: Sharing God s Grace Philippians 1:3-11 * SUNDAY: Telling the Good News Philippians 1:12-21 Sermon Highlights January 6, 2019 Title: Created to Participate Text: Ephesians 2:1-10 Main Idea: Adam and Eve were created to participate in God s plan. We are created to participate in God s kingdom work. This year of participation will come with some blessings and challenges. Sometimes the devil will try to keep you from walking in the fact that you were created to participate. When the devil comes against you have: Main Points: 1) Fighting words. 2) Encouraging words. 3) Bad words. For the full message order a CD or DVD of the service from the Media Ministry. CDs $5.00; Double CDs $7.00; DVDs $10.00 HOW TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART Perhaps while reading the announcements you realized you have never made a Christian commitment. Don t delay that decision! We encourage you to embrace God s love today and receive the salvation that only Jesus Christ gives. Here are five simple steps you can take to find assurance of salvation. 1. Recognize your need. The Bible tell us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:23) All of us are sinners, and we must admit our need for a Savior. 2. Repent of your sins. Our sins create a wall that separates us from God. By confessing our sins and turning from them, you will find forgiveness. The Bible promises: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). 3. Believe in Jesus. God sent His only Son to die so that He could pay for all our sins. Put your faith in Him and believe in His power to save you. The Bible says, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). 4. Receive His salvation. God has given us a great gift in His Son, but we must receive His gift. Thank Him for loving and forgiving you, and ask Him to live in your heart. His promise to us is clear: But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12). 5. Confess your faith. The Bible assures us: If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Rom. 10:9). You have been born again and are now part of God s family. Tell some one else what Jesus has done in your life! Heavenly Father, I now understand my need to have my sins forgiven. I also realize that only Jesus because of His sacrifice on the cross can forgive my sin. I put my faith and trust in Jesus today. Please forgive me and become the Lord of my life. MOBC Bible Institute The Bible Institute is now on break. Class will reconvene on February 6, We will continue teaching from Romans - Chapter 5. Instructor: Sis. Marilyn E. Coates

6 January s Health Topic What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye s optic nerve and results in vision loss and blindness. The most common form is primary open-angle glaucoma, which is one of the main causes of blindness in the United States. How does Glaucoma cause vision loss? With glaucoma, the fluid within the eye drains too slowly, and, as the fluid builds, the pressure inside the eye rises to a level that may damage the optic nerve. When the optic nerve is damaged, peripheral (or side) vision is affected, narrowing the field of vision. Left, untreated, total vision loss can occur. Risk Factors Anyone can get glaucoma, but those at higher risk include: African American over age 40 Everyone over age 60, especially Hispanics/Latinos People with a family history of the disease Symptoms In the early stages of primary open-angle glaucoma, there are no symptoms. However, only 8 percent of people in the United States are aware of this fact. It s important for people to know that glaucoma can be detected early before noticeable vision loss occurs, and that vision that is lost cannot be restored. Prevention Although glaucoma cannot be cured, it can usually be controlled. Vision loss can be prevented or minimized with early detection, treatment, and appropriate follow up.
