Reignite Our Passion for Lordship! September 23, 2018 Matthew 7:21-23 ( NIV ) 21 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? 23 Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! What is Lordship? Lordship is 1. Sovereign - one that exercises supreme authority within a limited sphere an acknowledged leader Matthew 8:2 ( NIV ) 2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean. "In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that-and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison-you do not know God at all. " C.S. Lewis Isaiah 5:20 (NIV) 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

-Two of the men looked at the master s expectations as. -One man looked at the master s expectations as. Lesson Learned Our responsibility is clear, and our accountability is certain. 4.

Bibles On October 7, 2018 we will be taking up a special contribution to purchase Bibles for people in the impoverished country of the Dominican Republic. It was announced that the Bibles cost around $15 a piece, however we have great news we have found a wholesaler here in the states where we can buy the same Bible for $2.50 and ship with our Magi boxes. Our goal is to buy 1,000 Bibles and any funds that are left over will be added to a special Mission Trip Scholarship Fund to aid those willing to serve in the mission field. Help us take the Gospel to the ends of the earth! Bibles & Boxes Magi Boxes As many of you already know Neal has challenged us to take one of the Magi boxes and fill them with gifts for the children of the Dominican Republic. All 70 boxes have been claimed and we even have a few coming back in nice and full. Remember these boxes are due on October 21, 2018 so we can load them up and transport them to Ft. Pierce where they will be flown to the D.R. for an early Christmas. We thank you for all of your support! October 7, 2018 October 21, 2018
