"God's Eternal Word" 

Count me among those who are saddened each time the ACLU and other God-excluding organizations win a court victory to remove Christian words and symbols from the public sphere. 

It reminds  me of the years I lived in Montreal and the "language police" searched for any public English words: if you had an apartment "For Rent" and placed those offensive words on the front of your building you could expect a visit and a fine. 

Yesterday, the Prime Minister of Israel referenced a marble depiction of Moses in the House of Representatives. 
 I couldn't helping thinking, "O no, now the ACLU is going to sue to have the great biblical lawgiver ejected from the walls of  Congress."
Don't laugh, sooner or later they will likely try! 

Prime Minister Netanyahu quoted words that Moses had said--actually words that God had given to Moses: "Be strong and resolute. Neither fear nor dread them." 

The word of God spoken over 4000 years ago bursting forth in 2015 through the voice of a man and broadcast around the world at the speed of light. 
We may be saddened by the occasional battle won by those who would seek to be God-excluders, but they are actually a total failure at excluding God and His word from the world we live in.

Leader, nations, even worlds come and go.  But the word of God stands forever! 

"Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens."
Psalm 119:89
Sunday, March 8, 2015
"Houston, we've had a problem here." Those famous words of Jack Swigert on Apollo 13 reflected a huge failure of a space mission.  Since then, those words (often modified) have been used with humor in many other settings.  

The reality is: "Humanity, we have a problem!" As the Apostle Paul presents the Good News of Jesus Christ, he first addresses the "bad news" of the human condition.  Each one of us knows it personally. But for each of us there is a clear and definitive solution!   Lord willing, this Sunday Pastor Wes will be preaching from Romans, chapter one, and will focus on this major malfunction, this catastrophic failure that plagues the human race. In preparation, please read Romans 1, especially verses 16-20.

#yoGo Teen News
Hey friends and family! It's Teen News Time!

Today is Trampoline Day! We're going to SkyZone Levittown for a great time to jump around on trampolines, play dodgeball and jump into foam pits! The Youth Group will be there from 6-8, but if you'd like to go earlier, it starts at 3pm. Here's the poster that you will need to get a special discount and to help us fund raise monies for Camp and Festival of Life. 

Pray for us tonight as we travel to through God's word!

40 Days of Prayer
We are in the 40-day period leading up to Resurrection Sunday. Please pray particularly for the Trenton, Mercer-Bucks area--for God to change hearts and to show us as one Christ-centered congregation to be effective in leading people to Jesus.  Please pray for the salvation of souls and the transformation of lives in our region. 
Calling Singers and Musicians 
We've got a lot of talent at GCCN--Praise God! Think creatively, perhaps form a duet, trio or.... If you would like to share your musical or artistic talent in one of the morning worship services, please let Pastor Wes know.  A chance to bless others as you honor the Lord!  Thank you to those who have responded! 
RockSolid Ministries


 Tuesday evening, March 17 is the next meeting of the RockSolid Men's group as we further learn from the series: "Dunamis: God's Power in Action."  This session will focus on the amazing power of God in transforming Inuit/Eskimo lives and communities in the Canadian Arctic and will be the same material planned for March 3 but postponed due to the weather. 7:00 pm at Pastor Wes'. 

Snow Predicted for Thursday 

Ah, more snow!  At least we can thankful we're not in Boston!  The prediction is for around 6 inches of snow on Thursday.  If you have a need or are able to help others who have needs, please speak to Pastor Wes. Caring for others is a privilege and blessing in communities of faith!

Truth From God's Word
:Jesus said,  "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
