After sometime on Evelyn Street, we moved to our present location on March 20, Join us in 2023 when we celebrate our 100th anniversary! Clean and Unclean By Nathan House The book of Leviticus deals in great details about life the Israelites were to live. Since God is Holy, the necessity of cleanliness. To contrast with the idea they needed to be holy as well. Chapter 16 moves of cleanliness, God called for a removal of the unfrom the idea of physical uncleanliness to dealing clean. The key words and thoughts in these center with the spiritual, as the Day of Atonement is set up around the words clean and unclean. In chapter as a day where the sins of the people are dealt with, 13 there is the una day where atoneclean disease of lepment would make rosy. A leper was to them clean from make known his untheir sins (Leviticus cleanliness, crying 16:30). Finally, in out unclean, unchapter 17 we see a clean so as not to key point, a point defile those who that will resonate were clean. Chapthroughout the ters 14 and 15 deal whole of the Bible, with unclean garthat life is in the ments, homes and blood and it is the bodily discharges. blood that makes Those items or peoatonement for the ple which were unsouls of mankind The man who was healed of Leprosy, returned to thank Jesus Christ clean were to be (Leviticus 17:11). separated from those The Hebrew writer that were clean. The unclean individuals were not would say, that without the shedding of blood there allowed to enter the tabernacle as their uncleanliis no forgiveness of sins (9:22). Thus we see the misness made them unfit to enter into that which was sion of God reflected in Leviticus, for it is in the clean. While these chapters deal with the idea of blood of Christ that we today find a removal of our physical cleanliness the larger application was to the spiritual uncleanliness. 10:30 service 6:00 Service Do We Fear God for Nothing?

4 The Gift Wrap & The Jewel By Wanda Goines I looked in the mirror and what did i see but a little old lady peering back at me with bags and sags and wrinkles and wispy white hair and I asked my reflection. "How did you get here?" You once were straight and vigorous and now you're stooped and weak when I tried so hard to keep you from becoming an antique My reflection's eyes twinkled and she solemnly replied: You're looking at the gift wrap and not the jewel inside A living gem, and precious, of unimagined worth Unique and true, the real you, the only you on earth The years that spoil your gift wrap with other things more cruel should purify and strengthen and polish up that jewel So focus your attention on the inside, not the out on being kinder, wiser, more content and more devout Then, when your gift wrap's stripped away, your jewel will be set free to radiate God's glory throughout eternity.

RUHL S RULES Suggested Good Work Praise a child to the parents while the child is present. You Are God s Bow and Arrow Patience is more than endurance.

6 RUHL S RULES Suggested Good Work Praise a child to the parents while the child is present. You Are God s Bow and Arrow Patience is more than endurance. A saint s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says, I cannot stand anymore. God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God s hands. Oswald Chambers Prevent Spreading Tales What you don t see with your eyes, don t witness with your mouth. Jewish Proverb Church History (Christian History Institute) 629: Fifty-three Christians are beheaded for their faith at Yonezawa, Japan. OUR SHEPHERDS: Wayne Duncan Dan Calvert God Is Thipping You One year when I was visiting Hebron, Israel, I came across a potter who was diligently working with a lump of red clay on his wheel. When he started, the clay certainly didn t look like much. The potter continued to manipulate the clay, doing his very best to morph it into a desired shape. Then the clay was placed on a tray and shoved into the fire. After a few moments, he brought the hot clay out of the kiln and thipped the end of it with his finger. This process was repeated several times, so I had to ask: When will the pot be complete? The potter said, I keep testing the clay until the time comes when I thip the edges and it sings. This is a lesson we can all stand to learn. When God hands us a trial, it is our turn to sing. Not whine, just shine. The trial you are facing is taking you to the perfect testimony. When the Master Potter starts thipping you along your rough edges, just do your best and give God the glory. He is doing great things with your life. John Hagee World Bible School Connect I have set up new web ads with a 20-mile radius around Grants Pass. Please pray about this. We have had over 150 people sign up before. So I know that doing something online is good and if World Bible School just will not work for us as far as converting people, then I will have to spend a great deal of time building our own course, but it will be worth it. So remember this is one of the best opportunities the Savage Street Church has ever had locally. Pray that we get people to complete the course and that it leads to conversion and new members here.
