Page 2 From the Pastor Changed lives may be the least disputable evidence to our neighbors that God exists. In our culture today, people are a lot less likely to a argue about your own personal experience than they are about specific facts. Some might think you re deluded as to why something happened the way it did in your life, but they are probably going to accept that it did happen because they know you personally. One example could be Jesus inner circle, his disciples. On the night Jesus was arrested, all of his disciples ran away completely frightened that they might get arrested too. Even Peter, who had a reputation as one of the boldest of his followers ran away initially. The Bible says that he then followed them from a distance as they took Jesus to be tried. Peter stayed outside during the trial and was so timid that he was afraid of a little girl. Yet something happened that changed Peter. Just a few weeks later he stood up in the middle of the crowded city and boldly gave such a powerful speech that 3,000 people became followers of Jesus on the spot. Not long after that Peter and John were arrested for healing a man who hadn t been able to walk for over 40 years and were brought before the religious council in Jerusalem. They were ordered by the council not to speak or teach about Jesus again. This Tuesday Guest Speakers: Shelbe & Conner Inskeep One night study on November 14 th at 6PM RSVP the office 653-3361 But Peter and John replied, Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard. Acts 4:19-20 Peter s change from cowardice to boldness is evidence, not only that God exists, but changes us by His grace and our faith. Please don t forget our Lord s Supper service this coming Sunday morning. It is always a special time. I hope you are readying yourself for FunFest in only a couple of weeks. We will need your help to reach out to 1,000+ people on Tuesday, October 31, at 6:00 pm. Blessed to be your pastor, Bro. Tommy AWANA CHALLENGE thru NOVEMBER 8 The AWANA Offering will go towards filling up OCC Shoeboxes. November 12 is Shoebox Party during Children s Church FMI: JD 940-613-8668
