WELCOME TO PIONEER The Body of Christ is diverse. Paul, however, when he describes the Body of Christ, focuses on the fact that we are all one in Christ rather than our diversity. Galatians 3:28 reads, There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. As one looks around this morning at Pioneer Memorial Church he or she can see a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, ages, and every other demographic WE ARE ONE! variable, and yet Paul has written that these things no longer exist. The Cross of Christ takes all of these divisions or differences and puts them in divine perspective. If the God of the universe would come and become a human and die for us, then how could anyone presume to be better than someone else? As we worship this God this morning let us remember, in Christ Jesus we are one!

THE FOURTH WATCH BLOG LOOK WHO S GOT THE WINNING TICKET! BY DWIGHT K. NELSON N othing like a Powerball jackpot frenzy to warm a frigid winter s night! Americans (and Canadians) are still queuing up by the tens of thousands for a chance to win a record $1.5 billion-plus at tonight s 10:59 Powerball drawing. Chances of winning the grand prize? One in 229,000,000. And yet by Monday this week Michiganders were spending $156,000 per hour on lottery tickets! In case you were wondering how to spend $1.5 billion, USA TODAY offers five suggestions. (1) Buy a fleet of Gulfstream G650 private jets (@ $65 million apiece you can take home 23 of them). (2) Match the gross domestic product of the island nations of St. Vincent and Grenadines combined (spend the remaining $200 million on that large stone mansion for sale in the Windy City). (3) Buy the new Tesla Model S ecofriendly electric car for $71,100 (then do the same for 21,096 of your closest friends). (4) Rent the royal two-bedroom suite at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai for $34,555 a night (with $1.5 billion you ll be able to stay for 42,320 nights or 116 IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING HOW TO SPEND $1.5 BILLION, USA TODAY OFFERS FIVE SUGGESTIONS. years if you have the time!). (5) Purchase a flotilla of five super yachts (100-meter-long cabin cruisers with an onboard staff of 50 for roughly $275 million apiece). (usat.ly/1pr96mf) But let s get serious. Uncle Sam will take 25% (30% if you re Canadian) off the top, with Michigan state receiving an additional 4.25%. Then consider this laundry list of warnings from financial investors and previous lottery winners: (1) your friends will take advantage Once word gets out that you have the winning ticket, you can expect everyone to try to cozy up to you, from the college roommate you haven't heard from in 20 years and the kid who tortured you on the kindergarten playground, to fellow carpool parents and friends you barely recognize ; (2) your relationship could fail the unimagined stresses of managing windfall money, as records show, place immense pressures on heretofore happily married couples; (3) you ll have an increased risk of bankruptcy "Winners are much more likely to make significant impulse purchases far beyond their previous means. So the pur- 4 PIONEER MEMORIAL CHURCH

chase amounts will be much higher, making the interest accrued on those credit cards much higher. And because they don't stop to think the money could run out, winners don't generally think they need to create or live by a monthly budget, says Scott Dillon, a senior bankruptcy attorney at Tully Rinckey in Albany, New York; (4) you ll have to fight off a host of long-lost family members even distant family members with credit card, medical or foreclosure bills will learn of your largesse; and (5) you ll be a target for a litany of lawsuits and scams Hoping to carve out a chunk of your fortune, financial advisor Jeff Motske says lottery winners are often targets for bogus lawsuits because everyone starts to come after them (for more details see bit.ly/1mvglro). Still want that easy money? Consider some sage counsel embedded in this personal testimony: For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want (Philippians 4:11-12). Paul was onto something, wasn t he? Or rather he was onto Someone. For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (v 13). When my life focus shifts from gaining to giving, from easy money to hard work, there is an inner quiet that all the money in the world can t buy. Contentment is what Paul called it. Peace is what Christ calls it: My peace I give to you not as the world gives do I give to you (John 14:27). 70% of lottery winners lose or spend all their winnings in five years or less. Apparently you can go broke trying to buy happiness. So here s the winning ticket for your New Year: Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6:6).

FEATURE ARTICLE HOW GROW GROUPS ENRICHED MY LIFE BY AUTUMN MINCINOIU M y fiancé, Sorin, had been in the U.S. only a couple of months. We were sitting in church looking at the new GROW Group catalog for the summer of 2015 and saw the group Maximum Marriage that would be led by Roger and Peggy Dudley, good friends of my family. We thought that would be a wonderful group for us to join together, as our wedding was going to take place about two months later. We both signed up that Sabbath afternoon. Three more married couples ended up attending that group with us. At the beginning, as Roger was explaining to the group that we were engaged and getting married that summer, he said he was sure the whole group would be invited to our wedding. He knew that we would all form strong friendships in that group, but I was just starting to send out my wedding invitations at that time and I thought, I hardly know these couples right now, and right now is when I m doing the invitations! However, what he said turned out to be prophetic. Sorin had moved here from Spain and his good friends who were able were trying to come from Europe to be his groomsmen. Shortly before our wedding, most of his groomsmen fell through for one reason or another and weren t able to come. At the last minute, two of the guys from our GROW Group, Terrence Umali and Neat Randriamialison, agreed to be groomsmen and stand with us on our wedding day. Everyone in the GROW Group attended the wedding and sat at the same table at the reception except for the two with us at the head table. What a wonderful time we all had sharing our wedding experience with our friends from the GROW Group! Our group, which started in June, ended the week after we came back from our honeymoon. We ended the group as a married couple. What a blessing the Maximum Marriage group was to us! Not only did it give us valuable information to help make our marriage strong, it gave us wonderful new friends and was an integral part of our special day. But this is the nature of GROW Groups. They are a wonderful way to learn and grow together and also to form lasting friendships. I might also add that three members of a former GROW Group I had been in also attended our wedding. Being a part of a GROW Group enriches your life more than you can ever imagine, and I would encourage you to join one this semester. You never know what friendships you might discover, what new things you will learn, or how it might change your life for the better! Autumn Mincinoiu is GROW Group member. JANUARY 16, 2016 7

The concept of a "spiritual" is widely understood as a song with African-American roots, particularly practiced among those who were enslaved in the United States of America. Spirituals are thought to have often had both obvious and veiled meaning levels, in which case they could be especially useful for communicating among slaves. "Deep River" may well have been among these multi-layered ones, with crossing over the "river" representing crossing over a border from slavery to freedom. Coleridge-Taylor was the son of an African father and an English mother, and he composed many creative piano settings of spirituals. JANUARY 16, 2016 9

When God can create limitless resources with only a word, why does He ask you to help support this church? It is challenge enough to meet all the financial responsibilities of your own world! Right? He does this because He wants you to grow spiritually, and one of the best ways for this to happen is to ask you to trust Him with your material goods and to focus on needs other than your own.

MASTER PLAN OF EVANGELISM BENTON HARBOR SOUP KITCHEN BY DANIEL DRAZEN I t isn t the easiest thing to write a testimony article about working at the Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen. It s not that nothing happens there. On the contrary, we have more opportunity than we know how to handle. Where we once saw an average of 80 to 90 meals served, that number has crept upward into the 1 10 to 120 range. We do our best to meet that need, sometimes pulling together leftovers from other groups when we run out of our own dishes. No, the hard part is our inability to see clearly what is going on there. We can express it mathematically, breaking down the total into children s portions and adult portions served, but that doesn t give us the whole picture. That s not really a problem; after all, we were warned it would be that way. In the parable of the sheep and goats in Matthew 25, it s interesting to note that neither the saved nor the lost ever knew when it was that they did (or didn t) render service to Jesus as they were dealing with the people around them. We serve the people who come and some of them have become familiar faces, but we don t know what brought them to the Soup Kitchen in the first place, nor do we know what happens to them when they leave and we clean up the kitchen for the next group of volunteers on the next day. But God knows, and that should be sufficient. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Daniel Drazen drazen@andrews.edu JANUARY 16, 2016 15
