Committed to His Will, His Way, and His Word December 30, 2018 18 The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD. Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV) It is the vision of Mount 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. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

MOBC COMMUNITY NEWS!! CHRISTMAS TIDE December 25 January 6, 2019 The Pulpit Attire is White Christmas is the next celebration in the Christian Year and includes from one to two Sundays depending on the day of the week that Christmas Day falls upon. Christmastide (the time between Christmas and Epiphany) is a 12-day festival, beginning on the day after Christmas. The emphasis is the Incarnation and its relation to the Christian hope. The color used is white, suggesting godhead, purity, joy and victory. Theme For This Quarter: OUR LOVE FOR GOD This quarter s study begins with God s demands for our complete and undivided love as shown in passages from Deuteronomy and Psalms. It proceeds with our response to God s love in the advent of Christ, and the epistles interpretations of the nature and extend of our responses to God s love in Christ. It concludes with passages from three of the psalms expressing glorification of God. UNIT 2 LOVING GOD BY TRUSTING CHRIST Matthew continues to inspire trust in God for all things, while James encourages total submission to God in love. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul gives an Interpretation of human devotion to God in Christ; promotes selfless devotion through exemplification of Christ s total submission to God in love, and encourages giving up everything for the sake of one s love for Christ.

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. MOBC Bible Institute The Bible Institute is now on Christmas break. Class will reconvene on January 9, 2019.
