In Genesis chapter 21 an interesting thing happens. Abimelech, King of Gerar, and the commander of his army, Phicol, pay a visit to Abraham. Their purpose is to ask Abraham for a treaty. They see in Abraham something special. In Genesis 21:22 they say to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do.” From the time God called Abraham out from his family into Canaan, Abraham followed God’s every command. He obeyed God even when it meant physical pain (Gen 17:23) or a personal loss (Gen 22:2). Abraham believed the Lord (and obeyed Him) and He created it to him as righteousness (Gen 15:6) Abraham was a man of God. He believed in God. He followed God. He obeyed God. God was with Abraham and others noticed. Abimelech and Phicol saw that God was with Abraham in everything he did. They took notice. What a testimony to Abraham! He was a godly man and people noticed.
If people in Newport were asked to describe you, would the first thing out of their mouths be “God is with him”? “He is a godly man?” “She is a godly woman?” Do people, non-christians, take notice of you because there is something different about you? If not, why not? Throughout the Bible, people notice those that follow God wholeheartedly. If people aren’t noticing us, could it be that something is lacking in our lives? Are we the ones people turn to when they need advice? Are we the ones people turn to when they want to know answers about God or the Bible? Do people of the world come to us when they want prayers for problems in their lives? People notice us alright, but do people notice God in us?

In Him,
Glen

So great is my veneration for the Bible, that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens to their country and respectable members of society. John Quincy Adams

We will be hosting the area wide youth service tonight and our evening service will start at 5:00pm. Bobby Rawson will deliver a lesson titled “Lord, reign in me.” Following our lesson the H.I.M.S. will entertain us with a concert. H.I.M.S. stands for He Is My Savior. We would like to invite everyone to stay for the concert and the BBQ dinner following! Sign up sheets to bring desserts are at each exit.

The Tuesday Morning Ladies Bible Class will be preparing Care Packages for our troops Tuesday, Nov 13th. A list of needed items is on the bulletin board. Please have your items at the church building by 10am on Tuesday. The most popular item is the homemade cookies!!!! Postage money can be given to Rovene or Beverly.

Everyone likes fresh starts and new beginnings.  Take for example the start of a new year, we make plans, set goals, etc.  But the greatest "new start" of all comes through Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: "Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a NEW creation; the old has passed away, behold the new has come."

If you need a new beginning in any area of your life, allow Christ to make you a new creation and the old will pass away! He will put a new and right spirit within you when you call upon His name!  Make your relationship with Him your number one priority. As you develop a relationship with Him through daily prayer and the study of His Word, you will experience the joy of newness of life!  I pray that we put God first and develop a deep personal relationship with the Lord
