Terry Tharp, Minister
, What many blessings we had this Sunday. We had Philip Littlefield and
i. Vicki and Ryle Younker sign the banner. Welcome to the church family. We
,,also had Jordan Lomenick come forward to say Jesus Christ is her Lord and
iSavior. We will announce her baptismal ,soon. And what a great message
. we had from Terry tided"Seeing God's Purpose in my Problems." Have you
. ever looked at problems in your life as being good? Terry made us realize
’, how having problems in our lives can be a blessing and not a punishment,
:; lamentations 3:33 says "For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief
.-'o the children or men."
,, :' Sunday's message reminds us of five ways God uses problems in our lives,
:'they are: to direcL inspect, correct, protect and perfect us. We should look at
problerrm we are having as a blessing from God not as a punishment. You
' "haay he experiencing a problem because you have taken a journey this is
' hot what God has planned for you, allow God to direct you back to his phm
for you. As humans we don't like changes and when life is comfortable we
won't change. God keeps inspecting us to bring the great out in us. God is
always examining our hearts and motives; he is more interested in integrity
..than image. God corrects us because he loves us. You should feel tbrtunate
when God corrects you that mean you are one of God's children and God
doesn't punish his children, he takes punishments upon himself. If we allow
God to direct our steps and learn to trust and obey him, he will protect us. It is
impossible to grow spiritually without pain in life. God corrects us to perfect
us so that we will become more like Jesus Christ. God can bless you so learn
from your problems. Remember life on earth is preparation tbr etemal life so
, :'keep looking to God for strength. God can do great things with all problems
-' stop today and asked God to direct, inspect, correct, protect and perfect
I" you through your problems. "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful
',) trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.
i', But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may
[, : Se overjoyed when His glory is revealed. 1 Peter 4:12-13,
i|,;t , ,
": We encourage you to join us next Sunday to hear another great message
I . from Terry. We continue to meet at the Msohic Lodge, across the street
',' "from the P-TElementary School. OurWorship`service begins at 10 a.m., for

Perkins Church of Christ

Have you ever heard of Baruch? Not many people have. This past Sunday
we took a look at his life. He was a ribe and friend to Jeremiah the Old
Testament prophet. He was called to read the stinging words of Jeremiah in
the temple, at the cost of his political and social future. He did so faithfully,
yet. he was very. sad. He prayed to God saying, "Woe is me now! For the
LORD has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no
resf' (Jer. 45:3). God answered througJa Jeremiah with a message to Baruch
that said, "Do you seek great things for yourself7. Do not seek them...I will
give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go" (Jer. 45:5).
What a powerful message. God was letting Baruch know that it was okay to
be ambitious, as long ts it was Godly anabition. And no maller what failures
loomed ahead for Baruch (there were many), God would `send him away
with life as a prize.
That is a message that resonates in nmy homes today. We find ourselves
embattled between our principles and our ambitions. And God's answer is
the .same for us: IX) you `seek great things tbr yourself?. Do not seek them.
If we claim that truth with the way we live our lives, then God's prornise will
ring true as well. Our life will be laid out tbr us as a prize. A great message
tbr Baruch, and a pretty good one for us as well.
Perkins Church of Christ would like to invite you to our Fall Festival on
October 31 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. here at our building. We will have a petting
zxo, a bounce house, f(xxl, a costume contest and lots of candy and prizes. All
this and the cost is nothing. The night of fun is absolutely free. So mark your
calendars, pick out a fantastic costume, and get ready for a great time.
At Perkins Church of Christ we have no creed but Christ, no book but the
Bible, in faith unity, in opinions liberty, and ha all things love. Sunday morn-
ing Bible class begins at 9 a.m., with Sunday morning worship following
at 10 a.m. Sunckly evening Bible study is at 6 p.m. God bless, and have a
great week.

Satan. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, by
