November 2021

I will continue the sermon series in the

book of Revelation through the month of

November. We will soon be looking at

prophecy concerning Mystery Babylon and

its fall, and the coming of Christ in glory to

establish His Millennial Kingdom upon the

earth. This sermon series will take us

through the month of December. Invite

your friends and neighbors to come join us

for this study.

I want to encourage all of our members to

make a special effort to become more faithful

in church attendance. Some have gotten into

the habit of missing our services. It is easy to

find excuses not to come, but the church

suffers when we are not at full strength. In

these last days, we need to be more steadfast

and faithful in serving the Lord.

The Bible says, “Let us hold fast the profession

of our faith without wavering…not forsaking

the assembling of ourselves together, as the

manner of some is; but exhorting one another”

(Heb. 10:23,25).

This is me exhorting you to hold fast and

be faithful. Hope to see you this Sunday in

your place.

I canʼt believe that it is November

already. Fall is my favorite time of the

year. The leaves change, the

temperature gets cooler, the night sky

is crystal clear, and we begin to think

about the things we are thankful for.

We usually have a pretty standard

list of things we will mention as we sit

around the table, eating turkey and

dressing. We are thankful for family,

friends, food, football and black

friday sales. We are thankful to be

together and thankful for our health.

We tend to focus on the things we are

thankful for but not the one we are

thankful to. We need to be thankful for

the giver, not just the gifts he gives us.

I challenge you this month to sit

down every day and thank God for

his grace in providing you a savior.

Make a list, remembering a different

aspect of the gospel each day.

Thank God for loving you even though

you are completely unloveable.

Thank God for reaching down into the

pit and pulling you out, even though

you were his enemy. Thank God for

saving a wretch like you who did not

deserve it.

When we see ourselves in the light

of the gospel, we understand just how

small we really are and how huge God

is. If we can understand just how undeserving

we are, we will be able to live

a life that is filled with Thanksgiving.
