What a great evening of soul winning. We had 36 out soul winning with two saved. Amen

Our Teen Soul Winning Marathon is this Saturday at 8:30am and runs to 4:00pm, meeting at the end at church for testimony time. We will have pizza at the church ready for all of you so arrive back at 4:00PM. Don’t spend time eating lunch, just bring snacks if need be. There will be plenty of pizza for you at the end.

Let’s win the lost!!!! Let’s see 1 million saved around the world!

We are in the works planning our annual Christmas banquet. We hope you will be able to attend this year. We will have a special speaker to encourage us in this holiday season.

The Regional Youth Conference is being planned as we speak!

Bound For Gold

Jobs 23:10 “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold”.

There are times as a Christian that you have no control over. The circumstances that occur in our life, many of them we are powerless.

I think of a fine couple in our church that have a son that is being tested for a mental disability. They had no choice in this matter.

I think of our son who may have a learning disability, we had no choice in this matter.

I think of one of our Sunday School men who attend faithfully, he had no choice in the matter of being educable slow.

I am reminded about our teens who are raised in homes that are not Christian, and in the home authority speak against this church. These teens must deal in their heart and weigh so much to keep a spiritual mind, and even then it is tough.

In all these trials that we are dealing with we are in direct line with Job’s life. He had so much loss in his life that now Satan touched his health and well being.

I wonder this morning you are wondering why God has given you a problem, a plight, another worry to add to your 10 other worries. My friend of NBC you are being tried by God. Paul says that he finds it worthy to suffer for Christ. We get to see God in such a special way. We get to see Him as our strong tower of strength. He knows the way we take when things that we have no control over take us in a very different way. I think of one of our fine men who had a car accident. How his life is turned up-side-down with this tragedy but guess what, I saw him soul winning last night! Amen. Guess what? I saw that fine lady out soul winning. Guess what I? I saw these young children in the nursery while the parents are out soul winning. Guess what? I saw young teens out soul winning With all that is being dealt with in their lives. They continue to serve the Lord. Christian wait on God – continue to serve Him, continue to walk with Him through these trials that you did not choose nor wanted. The coming forth as gold will be very evident. Your child will be a blessing, your hurt will become a nugget, your demise will have a trial time and then we shall come forth as gold for His glory and honor.

It is time for us to realize that our powerless hurts bring us power in Christ.

Hang in there, I love you!

What a great month we have had at NBC.  This month alone we had 67 saved.
I also have a total of 12 visitors cards that have been followed-up.

I also have sent two Pastoral References to Bible College for our young people.  I am so excited that our young people have a desire to reach the world.  A-MEN

Our Fall program has just begun  “INCREASE MIGHTILY”.  Tonight will kick off the point contest for the 42” and 19” screen TV.  A pizza party for the winning team is also up for grabs with a special speaker included.
Let’s all get involved and work hard.

Don’t Hide Your Eyes
Proverbs 28:27b “but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse”.

I want to talk to you about problems in your life.   About your children, about you spouses, about your personal issues you deal with each day: attitudes, thoughts, thinking process, behaviour.  We all have this in common and that is we over look so much of our own weaknesses.  We over look our shortcomings, our inabilities to overcome our hardships.  This morning I want us to focus on our God given life and  to change if needed.
The only way that we truely will see our weaknesses and strive to strengthen them is if we get in contact with our God.  Christ if we allow Him, will pinpoint our faults but we must be willing to — here we go, are you ready —- CHANGE!
Change is the uncomfortable.  The way we think many times is carnal.  The way we do things many times is godless and convenient.  So we must add this thought and that is found in Proverbs 28:27b.  It will become a curse if we blindly refuse to face issues in our life.  A curse is a final result of unattended sin or short comings in our character. It is the final negative result of ignorance.
For example:
One of my boys has a hard time connecting the sounds of letters to the complete word.  He can sound out the letters fine but he cannot connect them to make a word as he reads.  This is a problem. We must handle this properly our it could become a greater problem, even a hiderance in his future if not corrected.  So what did we do?  I’m glad you asked!
We took him to a therepist to see if there was any weakness in that area, then we took him to the ear specialist, and to top it all off we took him to the eye specialist, all in three days.
As a parent I want to know any weaknesses that might exist in my child.  I want to be alert to his shortcomings.  Being ignorant or unresponsive to his weakness will only bring a curse to him and us.  Staying on top of any problem will better equip us as parents to deal with him.
We also have the same issue if we don’t take action in our own lives.  We must be pro-active in allowing God to move in our life. Any sin or weights that so easily besets us will cause curses.  They need to be dealt with asap.
So let us not take a blind eye to our life but give attention to detail with God’s help and observation.

God Bless
Pastor
