From the Pastor s Desk Simon Peter s allowing Jesus to use his boat was a small action, but look what it yielded in his life. Never forget that great growth comes from small things, small actions, and small beginnings. (Luke 5:1 11 v. 3) Love, Pastor Thompson Our Vision Statement "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:18 19 (NKJ) It is the vision of Mt. 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.

2 SUMMER QUARTER: JUNE*JULY*AUGUST 2009 PENTECOST May 31 August 23 (The pulpit attire is Red) PENTECOST, the fiftieth day after Easter, comes from the Greek word for fiftieth, pentekoste. Greek speaking Jews called the Jewish Feast of Weeks the Day of Pentecost. Acts 2 tells how the anxious and fearful disciples, who had gathered on the Day of Pentecost, were filled with the Holy Spirit and thereafter preached boldly the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the day on which the church received the Holy Spirit. COLORS FOR PENTACOST: RED OR RED ON WHITE. RED, THE COLOR OF FIRE, REPRESENTS THE HOLY SPIRIT. General Theme For This Quarter: CALL SEALED WITH A PROMISE The study this quarter begins with the theme of God s call of a covenant community as reflected in the Old Testament books of the law, specifically Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The call of God to live in covenant community today is emphasized through these lessons. We hope that you will join us as we are focusing on: UNIT #3 CALLED TO CHOOSE LIFE This unit reflects on God s ongoing call to obedience and defines what actions demonstrate faithfulness and rebelliousness. Five Old Testament lessons illustrate that God remains faithful to God s promise whether or not we choose to obey. CLASSES FOR EVERYONE!! CLASSES FROM KINDERGARTEN TO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TWO CHOICES FOR ADULTS YOUNG ADULTS AGE 19 AND UP ADULTS ALL AGES WELCOME DAILY BIBLE READINGS THIS WEEK S LESSON Calls For Obedience Deuteronomy 6:1 9, When people obey laws, they expect that life will be good. Why do people care at all about laws and try to follow them? Deuteronomy states that God gives laws for our benefit. NEXT WEEK S LESSON: (August 30, 2009) God Calls for Decision Deuteronomy 30:1 10 People want to experience a satisfying life to attain joy and prosperity. How do we get what we want out of life? This lesson in Deuteronomy tells us how. MONDAY: Observe God s Laws Psalm 105:37 45 TUESDAY : Obey Christ s Commands Matthew 28:16 20 WEDNESDAY : A Gracious and Merciful God Nehemiah 9:16 20 THURSDAY: A Pledge of Obedience Joshua 24:14 24 FRIDAY: To Love God Is to Obey 1 John 5:1 5 SATURDAY: I Love You, O Lord Psalm 18:1 6 SUNDAY: Return to the Lord Deuteronomy 30:1 10 Sermon Highlights: August 16, 2009 Sermon Title: Your Response to a Jealous God Scriptural Text: Exodus 34:10 14 Main Idea: You respond to a jealous God by: Points: (1) Worshiping Him (2) Offering unconditional love to Him (3) Directing your worship to the benefits of God For the full message order a CD of the service from the Media Ministry.
