2 PENTECOST MOBC COMMUNITY NEWS!! June 4 August 26, 2017 (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 PENTECOST: Red or Red on White. Red the color of fire, represents the Holy Spirit. Theme For This Quarter: GOD S URGENT CALL The theme for this quarter reminds us that God continues to speak to us through God s written word. God calls ordinary people from diverse backgrounds to make a difference. From the days of the judges to the prophets to the early church leaders, God called and the faithful answered. UNIT 1 CALLED TO BE STRONG The four lessons in this unit are drawn from the Book of Judges and continue the history of Israel after Joshua s death. God raised up a series of national leaders called judges. Empowered by God, judges delivered the people from their enemies. NEXT WEEK S LESSON: June 25, 2017 Samson s Call Judges 13:1-7, Preparation for leadership may involve life circumstances not of one s own choosing. How do we respond when we find ourselves in such circumstances? Even before birth, Samson s call was assured as shown by the instructions the Lord s angel gave to his mother. * MONDAY: Announcement of Samson s Birth to Manoah Judges 13:8-18 * TUESDAY: The Angel Accepts Manoah s Sacrifice Judges 13:19-23 * WEDNESDAY: Vow of Separation to the Lord Numbers 6:1-8, * THURSDAY: Samson Marries a Woman of Timnah Judges 14:1-9 * FRIDAY: Samson Conquers the Philistines Judges 15:1-8 * SATURDAY: In Death, Samson Defeats the Philistines Judges 16:23-31 * SUNDAY: Samson s Call Judges 13:1-7, 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. 2 Sermon Highlights: Youth Day Celebration June 11, 2017 Rev.

6 1. Age Targeted Teaching: Where else can your kids get Biblical instruction that's focused toward their developmental abilities? 2. Friends: In Sunday School, your child will build positive friendships with their peers by discovering God's Word together. 3. It's Fun: Sunday School is not Disney Land, but our teachers do work hard to teach the Bible in ways that are relevant and fun for kids. 4. Spiritual Mentors: A dedicated teacher can be a Christian role model who supports you and helps inspire the faith of your child. 5. Systematic Bible Learning: Our curriculum is designed to give a broad foundation, so children will understand how all the parts of Scripture point to Christ. 6. Praying Teachers: Our teachers consistently pray for your child's faith to grow. Coming to Sunday School gives another occasion for God to answer those requests. 7. Big Reward For a Small Investment: If you're already coming to church, just come a little earlier or stay a little later. 8. Send the Right Message: Making Sunday School a priority shows your kids that God's Word really does matter. 9. Adult Bible Fellowship: While the children enjoy their class, you can fellowship with other adults in your own Bible study group. 10. Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV): Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
