The Son of Encouragement

A Word from THE WORD

Good Morning Happy Church,

Today is Friday, April 8th, 2016. Today is the 99th Day of 2016.

TODAY IS BRENDA BIALESCHKI’S BIRTHDAY

TODAY IS TIM AND TONYA SHADWELL WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

There are only 267 days left in this year; and, there are only 1 Day Left until Our Spring Revival Meetings Begin!

We will begin the Revival Meetings on Saturday, April 9th with a Banquet and Sermon at 6pm.

Sunday, April 10th, we will hear Bro Bobby at 10am and again at 6pm.

Monday and Tuesday, April 11th and 12, we will hear Bro Bobby at 7pm each night!

Please clear your schedule to attend as many of these meetings as possible.

As I often say, “The two things you have to invest to be blessed are your Attendance and your Attention!”

Please be in prayer for Dr. Bobby and Sandra Boyles as they travel here and back.

Pray that God will pour out HIS SPIRIT on us as never before!

Pray for the salvation of the lost; repentance and renewal in the life of God’s people; new people to become part of our Church Family; the calling out of ministers and missionaries; a spiritual awakening in our area; and, for Jesus Christ to be glorified in all that we do!

Acts 4:35-37 (KJV)
35 “And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”

Barnabas is certainly one of my favorite men in the New Testament.

When I preached through the Book of Acts, I preached a sermon about him that I called “Barney the Blessing.” This good man is a blessing every time he is seen in the New Testament.

God used him to do a lot of good for a lot of people.

Our Revival Meetings begin tomorrow. I have shared with you dozens of times reasons why I believe that it is important for you and all of us together to be part of these meetings.

Here is another one; and a key one at that.

We all need encouragement. “The Son of Consolation” means “an encourager.” Barnabas is more famous for encouraging others than anyone else in the New Testament.

I can promise you two things:

You are going to hear some of the most encouraging preaching ever…

And, you will be with some of the most encouraging people ever…

Church does not get much better than that.

I pray that you will sacrifice whatever it takes to be present at every service.

As Pastor Tom Rains, one of my dearest friends, loves to say… “I hope to see you there with a smile on your face, your Bible in your hand, and your family and friends by your side.”

REMEMBER: Our Revival Meetings begin in only ONE day!

TOMORROW SATURDAY, APRIL 6TH AT 6PM WE KICK OFF THE MEETINGS WITH “A MEAL AND A MESSAGE”

Revival CAN happen, it really CAN happen!

Will we really have revival?

Will you?

Carpe Diem!
