Committed to His Will, His Way, and His Word August 21, 2016 "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 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 FAITH DEVELOPMENT!! PENTECOST May 15 August 27, 2016 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. The Pulpit Attire is Red. RED - THE COLOR OF FIRE, REPRESENTS THE HOLY SPIRIT. Theme For This Quarter: TOWARD A NEW CREATION The study of this quarter is primarily from the Old Testament book of Zephaniah and the New Testament book of Romans. The three units follow the theme of God s New Creation as it pertains to our new life in Christ. UNIT 3 -- LIFE ON GOD S TERMS The four lessons in this unit focus on the benefits and demands of living a life for God as a new creation in Christ. NEXT WEEK S LESSON: August 24, 2016 Love Fulfills the Law Romans 12:1-2, 13:8-10 People want to know how to live in a manner that transcends the selfish and corrupt ways of the world. How can they live to fulfill the law of love? Paul urges Jesus followers to allow the love of Christ to transform their minds into Christlike minds, so they will be able to love one another and themselves as Christ has loved and continues to love them. * MONDAY: Diligence and Law 1 Timothy 4:11-16 * TUESDAY: Obedience and Law Deuteronomy 11:1-9 * WEDNESDAY: Choose the Law and Life Deuteronomy 11:13-21 * THURSDAY: Take Care and Live Joshua 22:1-6 * FRIDAY: Love and the Law 1 John 3:4-11 * SATURDAY: Prayer and Love Ephesians 3:14-21 * SUNDAY: Love Fulfills the Law Romans 12:1-2, 13:8-10 Sermon Highlights August 14, 2016 Rev. Kim Fortune, Young Adult Pastor Galilee Baptist Church Louisa, Kent Store, VA Title: Are You Devoted or Districted? Text: Luke 10:38-42 Main Idea: We have to be devoted to Christ and not distracted by the things not of Christ. Jesus taught Martha what she needed to do. She needed to: Points: 1) Sit down and listen to the word of God. 2) Learn to be quiet. 3) Be loving. For the full message order a CD or DVD of the service from the Media Ministry. CDs $5.00; Double CDs $7.00; DVDs $10.00 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! MOBC Bible Institute MOBC Bible Institute on Summer break.
