This Coming Sunday, November 15, 2009
Each person
is significant in the Kingdom of God - Jesus died for each of us as individuals
and He has a ministry for each of us individually as well. But we need to "take
heed to the ministry that you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill
it." What does it mean to "take heed" and how do I fulfill the ministry God has
for me? It's easy to think we are insignificant because we're not full time
ministers or that because we don't influence too many people we have nothing to
offer - but God has something for every follower of Jesus to do that is
significant in His kingdom. We're finishing up the book of Colossians with a
message called "Fulfill your destiny" this coming Sunday, November 15 and you
won't want to miss it. See ya Sunday.
Coming up....
- November 22 - Revelation 2 - "To the angel of the Church of Surprise write..."
- November 29 - Revelation 3 - "To the angel of the Church of Surprise write..."

A Word of Encouragement
Psalm 19:1 (NKJV)
The heavens declare the
glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters
speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There are some 8 octillion
stars. That would be enough for every living person to own about 3 trillion. Up
until the invention of the telescope, most people believed there were only
about 3,000 stars because that was all you could see with unaided eye. But God
revealed the truth to His prophets long before "science". God said, "in
blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants
as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore...." (Gen
22:17 NKJV)
The fine-tuning of the
balance between gravity and expansion in the universe is precisely perfect for
life to exist on this planet, estimatedto be one partinat least a hundred million billion billion
billion billion billion. That would be a ten followed by fifty-three zeros.
That's inconceivably precise. Everywhere we look, as far as we can see,
there is breathtaking beauty and precision. Just the fine-tuning of the
universe alone should be enough to confirm that only God, who is greater than
time, space and matter, could have engineered it. And if He engineered
something as vast and stunning as the rainbow of galaxies that spin around us,
surely He knows how to steer me through life. This is why the same passage I
quoted for this devotion also says "The testimony of the Lord is sure, making
wise the simple". Lest we forget how precise our God is, go out into your yard
tonight and just look up....

Album Review
Chris Rice, Peace Like a River: The Hymns Project
This album is a must-have if you enjoy listening to classic hymns to augment your private worship time. The combination of Rice's pure, clear, and honest voice with simple (yet creative) keyboard and guitar accompaniments makes for pleasant and inspiring listening whether you're taking time to focus on the Lord or just listening to some good Christian music while you work.
 The ten songs on the album, ranging from "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" to "Great Is Thy Faithfullness," are sure to satisfy hymn fans of all ages.
View the song list and listen to some samples at ChristianBook.com.

Thank You
Thank you to everyone who
helped make our first Sunday at Kingswood a
raging success. Thank you to the set-up crew who make record time finding out
where the electrical outlets were. Thank you to the children's ministry team
for quickly figuring out how to set things up. Thank you to our break-down crew
for setting a church record on getting us loaded up. Thank you BBQ team for
putting together a wonderful church potluck where many of us enjoyed
conversation and hot dogs (with mustard, ymmmm) as well as watching our kids
play themselves into exhaustion on the playground after church. A wonderful new
building "soft opening" and we are so blessed to be family. Thanks everybody -
it's awesome to be connected with all of you.

Vision
I know all of you want to
get the word out about FourteenSix. For our January outreach of 30,000 mailer
invitations, I am asking everyone to be at church on January 10th to
welcome new people.
I
need your help. Will you set aside just $37.50 each week for 4 weeks, put it in
an envelope marked "invitations" and put it in the offering basket? If I can
find 40 people to do this, we will raise most of the money we need. I'm sure
you will help. Email me today at pat@fourteensix.com
and let me know I can count on you for the next 4 Sundays.
