series, sportscaster James Brown and former NFL coach Tony Dungy will explore
how we can live for God and serve him well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Every game has rules. In order to win, you’ve got to know your goal,
your responsibilities on the team, and how to succeed all while playing by the
rules. The same is true for the game of life. When we know the Word of God, his
mission for us, and how to achieve that mission, we can live with a powerful
impact. God has a purpose for you—are you ready to get on the field?</span></span>

anything is possible. In addition to using maps, timelines, animations and
artifacts in his garage, Dave goes on-location to Israel and the Mediterranean
region for many of his adventures. BIBLE BACKROADS was created as a non-denominational
resource, which focuses on Bible history, archaeology, geography, and

We Stand.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: #151515;">How
do you love people when you disagree with them?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We live in divided times. The tension of disagreement can be felt at
dinner tables, in board rooms, at church gatherings, and in our communities. It
can be hard to know how to engage with each other when the gap between us feels
like it’s widening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus lived in
divided times, too. He modeled for us what it looks like to love your enemies,
to love across political, gender, religious, and cultural lines. Jesus’s life
was marked by loving people who were wildly different from him, and he calls us
to do the same. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

"super" nor "natural." How do we join the move of what the
Spirit is doing? Maybe once we understand who the Holy Spirit is, the church can
stop being so ordinary, and can start being the agents of change in the world
that God designed us to be. <a href="https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/player/video/350?session=3085">https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/player/video/350?session=3085</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>

be a man. Our present culture is redefining manhood and confusing men in their
pursuit of Biblical manhood. But how will you respond? What will you say and do
when the world demands a response? Discover how to respond by rejecting
passivity, accepting responsibility, leading courageously, loving unconditionally,
living with integrity, serving humbly, and investing eternally. Let others see
masculinity and manhood through the lens of Christ in your life with these
seven characteristics and become a better man, husband, father, and leader.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check out the trailer:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/player/video/371860?session=371872">https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/player/video/371860?session=371872</a>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Today there will be
millions of expressions of love and goodwill as we celebrate Valentine’s
Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you share with those around you
today, remind them that God loves them and that you love them too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Believers in Jesus Christ, the one
commandment He gave us is found in John 13:34.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That one commandment is to love one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is to be our defining
characteristic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, many
people would characterize Christians exactly the opposite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Too often the world sees us as hateful and
mean spirited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May we learn to express
our love and compassion for people more than we express our hatred for their
sin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Apostle Paul shared the concept
in Ephesians 4:15 as he wrote, “speaking the truth in love.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Happy Valentine’s Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God loves you and so do I.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Good Morning,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Thank you for your
continued prayers and concern for me and my family in this bout with
Covid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are all doing much better and
hopefully are moving in the right direction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are many others in our community struggling with it so let’s
continue to pray for one another.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">As we work to move back
into a full ministry schedule, I remind you of the importance of the Sunday
School classes each Sunday morning at 9:00 AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sunday School is the way we are organized to provide discipleship,
ministry, outreach, and care to every age group in the church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a class for everyone, from the
babies to the Senior Adults.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have
been missing in Sunday School through the pandemic, I encourage you to come and
be in Sunday School agai.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have
never attended Sunday School, come and experience the community and connection
that happens in the classes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is worth
the extra effort to come an hour early to be in a Sunday School class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Try it this Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Please pray for the

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Good Morning,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I appreciate the prayers
and concern for me and my family during this time of Covid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First the grandchildren, then Fran positive,
and Sunday morning I tested positive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am thankful that we have all had fairly mild cases so far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been a difficult time of quarantine and
now isolation from everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My goal is
to be cleared to be back this coming Sunday, but we will have to wait and
see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In the meantime, Pastor
Paul has done an outstanding job of preaching and leading in my absence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The message yesterday morning was his best
message yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you didn’t hear the
message “Joy In Your Circumstances,” you will be blessed to go to Youtube or
Facebook and listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also appreciate
Bro. Marty Dodge and his willingness to fill in when I am out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His message last night was very encouraging
to be strong and courageous in the midst of challenges of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Lord used both messages yesterday to
encourage and uplift my soul.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

pray for our community, state, and nation as we experience so many<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>cases of COVID.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Roger Duke, our local COVID Task Force
Leader, shared with me yesterday that Smith County has recently set the record
for active cases since the pandemic began.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are so many families dealing with this latest outbreak of
COVID.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s be praying for each other
as we continue to walk through this pandemic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

ministry that touches the lives of women, children, and families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you still have a baby bottle of coins,
cash, or checks you can bring it with you this Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All bottles are asked to be returned by

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Good Morning,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">January is the month of
beginning and with that we have three specific emphases throughout the
month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">January
is Sanctity of Life month as we stand for the sanctity of every human
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a momentous issue facing
our nation, especially this year as the Supreme Court considers a case which
may roll back decades of assault on the most innocent of human life, the baby
in the womb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also highlight the work
and ministry of the Pregnancy Help Center as they minister to moms, families,
and their children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will receive a
special offering with baby bottles for you to fill with coins, bills, or checks
and a special offering for the Center on January 30.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">January is the start of our year-long adventure

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">One final emphasis in
January is “Make/Review Your Will” month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Having an up-to-date will is part of our Christian stewardship as we
manage what the Lord has entrusted to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A will gives opportunity for you to care for your family and limit
disagreements and in-fighting over the inheritance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is nothing honoring to the Lord or to
your deceased loved one when families fight and break apart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A will allows parents to determine who will
raise and care for their children in the case of their deaths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A will is an important tool in your estate
planning and needs to be reviewed and updated as needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

stories as well as having a lot of fun and enjoying a delicious supper.

GriefShare, our 13-week Grief Support Group, will begin on Tuesday, January 11

of the past year and preparation for the upcoming year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is always good to look back for

good to look forward in anticipation and planning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I encourage you as I encourage myself to both

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The RightNow Media Video
series of the week is “NUA: Christmas.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NUA:Christmas
explores the why behind the glitz and glam of Christmas, considering how the
first Christmas fits with the narrative of the Jewish faith. The Jewish people
had been awaiting a Savior for thousands of years since his coming was foretold
in the Garden of Eden. All signs were pointing towards this unique moment in
recorded history but when it arrived it was nothing like what they were
expecting! We eagerly look forward to Christmas each year, but that wasn’t the
case for most people for the very first Christmas! It was certainly a big
surprise for Jesus’ mum Mary to find out she would be the mother of the
Messiah. Join Sarah Campbell, Darren Bourke and Mark Murray on a very unique
and entertaining journey that highlights the true meaning of Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check out the trailer for this fun look at
the meaning of Christmas: </span><a href="https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/player/video/467310?session=467322">https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/player/video/467310?session=467322</a><o:p></o:p></p>

</span>Investigate the Man Who Changed the Course of Human History.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In<em> Person of Interest Video Study</em>,

other person who has ever lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The <em>Person
of Interest Video Study</em> will invite viewers into the life of a
cold-case detective as he uncovers the truth about Jesus, using the same
approach he also employs to solve a real murder case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lessons will teach viewers how to become
good detectives, using an innovative and unique "fuse and fallout"
investigative strategy they can also use to examine other claims of history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will also help viewers explore common
objections to Christianity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Concrete and
compelling in its approach, the <em>Person of Interest Video Study </em>will

conversations happen regularly aren’t the product of lucky parents. They’re the
product of intentional parents who believe nothing is more important than

efforts to clarify who Jesus is, why he matters, and how kids can live impacted
by their faith in him.</span><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> <a href="https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/493404?episode=Trailer">https://www.rightnowmedia.org/Content/Series/493404?episode=Trailer</a>

called certain individuals to follow him—regardless of their lack of
"qualifications"—and how those people changed the world when they
dared to follow God's dreams for their lives. In the same way, God is calling
us to step into the version of our lives that he intended for us before others
told us it was impossible and once again dream big.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check out the first session entitled “Get
