2 Church Life If you are visiting with us for the first time, WELCOME! We are glad it was your choice to worship Christ with us today. We hope this time of praise and the study of God s Word will be an encouragement for you. Please join us for refreshments on the patio at the Royal Palm campus or in the foyer at the Acreage campus. We look forward to meeting you! I love this church because I can come here and hear the Truth of God being taught genuinely and because it provides a loving environment that helps me to continually grow into the man that God wants me to be. I serve Jesus with you by volunteering in the Preschool with the three year olds. Are you considering Christ s request to follow Him by way of believer s baptism? Make plans now to register for the upcoming Beach Baptism. Please phone the church office to make an appointment with one of our pastors to discuss your spiritual journey. We will celebrate this Ordinance of God, fellowship, and have a cookout from 3:30-6:30 PM at the Gumbo-Limbo Pavilion in Carlin Park, Jupiter. Save the date!

3 Make plans now to attend this conference which will both inspire and challenge us as parents, grandparents, Church or simply Life concerned adults who desire to influence children and youth for God. What will the next generation look like? That all depends upon how much we will invest in their future. I was having lunch alone at a sub shop that had a video game in the corner. After I finished my sandwich, I got up in front of the Centipede, as it was called. As I put in the quarter and heard it get swallowed, I heard a voice inside of me that asked the question, Whose quarter was that? There was no one standing behind me, so I knew Who was asking me. And I knew the answer right away. It was God s quarter in my pocket well, now it was in the Centipede. The Centipede introduced me to my first lesson on the responsibilities of wealth, that everything belongs to God, and is to be managed by me. Thinking about joining this church, being baptized, or just want to find out more about the ministries and mission? Please join us for the Church Orientation session. Royal Palm campus - Sunday, February 5th at 11:00 AM in the Coffee Shop Acreage campus - Sunday, February 5th at 11:00 AM in the Choral Room. As God said to Job, Everything under the heaven belongs to Me. (Job 41:11) And David said, Everything in the heavens and earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as being in control of everything. Riches and honor come from you alone, and you are the Ruler of all mankind. (1 Chron. 29:11-12) From Wealth Conundrum Are you just beginning to visit with us and would like to meet the leadership staff? You are invited to lunch with the Pastors and their families!

7 God s Word - Time With God Today s SOAP from Pastor Will Lopes Scripture: Judges 4:4-10, Observation: Deborah was a prophetess; one instructed in Divine knowledge by the inspiration of the Spirit of God. She judged Israel as God's mouth to them; correcting abuses, and redressing grievances. By God's direction, she ordered Barak (son of Abinoam) to raise an army, and engage Jabin's forces. Barak insisted that she would be with him. Deborah promised to go with him. She would not send him where she would not go herself. Application: Many times, leaders invite people to join the vision or a new journey and are not willing to do the sacrifice or the next step themselves. Those who in God's name call others to their duty, should be ready to assist them in it as Deborah did. In the same way, God will do that for us He will not call us out or our comfort zone, to the unknown, to leave us alone. He is WITH us! Our God He is FOR us. Prayer: God, as you call us to the unknown and challenge us to get out of our comfort zone, help us to be reminded the you will never leave us or abandon us.. You are always with us. As leaders, help us also to have the courage to call others to your vision, and as Deborah, lead your people while putting ourselves as examples. S.O.A.P. Scripture Observation Application Prayer Grab your Bible, a pen, and a notebook. Get ready to hear from God through His Word! This Week s SOAP Timid Warrior How Do I SOAP? Scripture - Read the passage of Scripture for the day and allow God to speak to you. Look for a verse that spoke to you. Write it down. Observation - Write your observation as to what is happening in the text. What do you believe is the point of the passage? Application - Ask yourself how this Scripture applies to your life right now. Write down how it can apply to you today. Prayer - This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this Scripture, or even a prayer for a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say! Now, write it out. M Judges 6:11-12 T Judges 6:13 W Judges 6:14-16 TH Judges 6:25-27 F Judges 6:28-30 S Judges 6:31-32 Main Passage for February 5 Judges 6:11-16, HCSB Memory Verse: Judges 6:16 But I will be with you, the LORD said to him. You will strike Midian down as if it were one man.

8 Willing Servants Scripture 4 Deborah, a woman who was a prophetess and the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. 5 It was her custom to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her for judgment. 6 She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, Hasn t the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded you: Go, deploy the troops on Mount Tabor, and take with you 10,000 men from the Naphtalites and Zebulunites? 7 Then I will lure Sisera commander of Jabin s forces, his chariots, and his army at the Wadi Kishon to fight against you, and I will hand him over to you. 8 Barak said to her, If you will go with me, I will go. But if you will not go with me, I will not go. 9 I will go with you, she said, but you will receive no honor on the road you are about to take, because the Lord will sell Sisera into a woman s hand. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh. 10 Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; 10,000 men followed him, and Deborah also went with him. 12 It was reported to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor. 13 Sisera summoned all his 900 iron chariots and all the people who were with him from Harosheth of the Nations to the Wadi Kishon. 14 Then Deborah said to Barak, Move on, for this is the day the Lord has handed Sisera over to you. Hasn t the Lord gone before you? So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him. 15 The Lord threw Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army into confusion with the sword before Barak. Sisera left his chariot and fled on foot. 16 Barak pursued the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth of the Nations, and the whole army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left. Judges 4:4-10, Main Point God restores His people to freedom using faithful and willing servants. *Notes adapted from Explore the Bible, LifeWay Christian Resources.

10 God s Word - Devoted to Him Do Something Faith that does nothing is dead! James 2:26 Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right. God is always near and always available. Just waiting for your touch. So let Him know. Demonstrate your devotion: Write a letter. Ask forgiveness. Be baptized. Feed a hungry person. Pray. Teach. Go. Do something that demonstrates faith. For faith with no effort is no faith at all. God will respond. He has never rejected a genuine gesture of faith. Never. From He Still Moves Stones Genesis 1:31 Psalm 19:1 Romans 3:23 Romans 6:23A Romans 1:25 Proverbs 14:12 We are more concerned about looking stupid (fear of people) Than we are about acting sinfully Philippians 2:13 Ephesians 2:10 John 3:16A Colossians 2:14 Mark 1:15B Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9 (fear of the Lord).

14 Kids Ministry Today s Sunday School Lesson Today, the children learned about Deborah and Barak. They learned that we should trust God when He gives us a command to obey. Their memory verse today was Judges 5:3. The verse for next week is Judges 6:16 But I will be with you, the Lord said to him. You will strike Midian down as if it were one man. Practice this verse with your child throughout the week so they can earn a Disciple Dollar next Sunday for memorizing the verse. Their connection passage today was Judges chapters 4-5. They learned God led Deborah and Barak to help the Israelites defeat their enemies. Review questions from Judges 4:4-10,12-16 and the connection passages Judges 4-5: Who did God lead to help the Israelites defeat their enemies? What did God command Barak to do? How did Deborah encourage Barak to obey God? How can we trust God when he tells us to do something? What are ways you can encourage others to obey God? The AWANA Mission Month wraps up this week with a guest speaker from Operation Christmas Child. Thank you for contributing to our AWANA Mission Offering. We surpassed our goal! Derby Cars are available in the Resource Center for $5. Our next work day will be Feb 18th. The Disciple Dollar Store will be open EVERY week. Type in this link on your computer to have access to the Connect Church Pinterest with all the weekly worship folder activities. The children learned that Deborah was a prophetess and a judge in Israel. They also learned that she would sit under a palm tree and the Israelites would come to her for help. Below to the left is a simple and healthy snack you can make while you review the story of Deborah and Barak and will remind your child of what Deborah would do under the palm tree. To the right is a craft your child can make of Deborah. All you need is a toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, construction paper, and crayons.

15 Preschool Ministry Today s Sunday School Lesson God loves me when I m happy. Today in class the children learned what the Bible says about the Parable of the Lost Sheep. (Matthew 18:10-14) This week s verse is For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. Matthew 18:11. Please, help your child memorize the verse and review the lesson by asking these questions: Why do you think Jesus would talk to and eat with sinners? How did God show His love for sinners? Does God want anyone to be lost from Him? How does Jesus save us from being lost? What must we do to go to heaven? The children will earn stickers and stamps this week for knowing the verse and the story. Connecting Church and Home Directions Here is a fun activity you can do at home called Hide and Find. Hide some toys, and use a flashlight to look for them. Talk about how God knew right where those toys were and how He always know where we are at all times.
