A New Year Poem Dear Master for this coming year Just one request I bring: I do not pray for happiness, Or any earthly thing I do not ask to understand The way Thou leadest me, But this I ask: Teach me to do The thing that pleaseth Thee. I want to know Thy guiding voice, To walk with Thee each day. Dear Master make me swift to hear And ready to obey. And thus the year I now begin A happy year will be If I am seeking just to do The thing that pleaseth Thee. --Unknown Author

The Church at Study 9.15 a.m. January 2, 2016 Crises in Heaven Memory Text: Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb! {Revelation 7:10 NKJV} Song Service Welcome/Opening Remarks Prayer Mission Emphasis Lesson Study Closing Remarks Crises in the church are certainly nothing new. We find the first crisis arising in heaven even before the creation of this world. Lucifer stirred up some un-heavenly conversations with his controversial views on God s authority. This week s lesson begins by looking at Lucifer s fall. He suggested that God was possibly a bit authoritarian, and that he himself could be a more lenient and open sovereign, if only he had the opportunity. By the time his subtle insinuations matured to outright rebellion, heaven s harmony erupted into a full-blown civil war. Lucifer s pride and lust for power led him to get sideways with God and the prevailing view that He is both a loving and just monarch. The result is that God evicted Lucifer and his followers from heaven and they now take up residence in our neighborhood. That first crisis in heaven led to a war that continues today. Now we must decide whose authority we will adhere to the rebel or the Redeemer. {Centre for Creative Ministry} Sunset TODAY: 5:26 p.m. Sunset Next Friday: 5:30 p.m.
