Thank you thank you, thank you, and still it is not enough, for the kindness shown to us last Lord s Day. Even greater than the money inside the card, was the thoughtfulness that was shown by your outpouring kindness. You have no idea what that meant to us. It is such an honor to serve our Lord with you folks here at Palm Shores. We can t believe that we have been here a year! We came south in a motor home, lived in it, then moved to Carl s and Crystal s house which was truly a blessing when Mom broke her arm and had to move in with us. Then, God blessed us to be able to purchase a house close to the church property. We are looking forward to this next year with anticipation of seeing new faces along with the old (us included ).

(Hebrews 4:16) Every one of us needs help. We are not God. We have needs. We have weaknesses. We have confusion. We have limitations of all kinds. We need help. But every one of us has something else: We have sins. And therefore at the bottom of our hearts we know that we do not deserve the help we need. And so we feel trapped.

4 I need help to live my life and to handle death and to cope with eternity help with my family, my spouse, my children, my loneliness, my job, my health, my finances. I need help. But I don t deserve the help I need. So what can I do? I can try to deny it all and be a superman who doesn t need any help. Or I can try to drown it all and throw my life into a pool of sensual pleasures. Or I can simply give way to the paralysis of despair. But God declares over this hopeless conclusion: Jesus Christ became a High Priest to shatter that despair with hope and to humble that superman or superwoman and to rescue that drowning wretch. Yes, we all need help. Yes, none of us deserves the help we need. But say no to despair and pride and lechery. Look at what God says. Because we have a great High Priest, the throne of God is a throne of grace. And the help we get at that throne is mercy and grace to help in time of need. Grace to help! Not deserved help gracious help. You are not trapped. Say no to that lie. We need help. We don t deserve it. But we can have it. You can have it right now and forever. If you will receive and trust in your High Priest, Jesus the Son of God, and draw near to God through him. [From Draw Near to the Throne of Grace with Confidence - Bible Quiz: The Tabernacle 1.)
