Good Morning
It’s a New Week!

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24

As we begin this new week, may God guide our steps, strengthen our hearts, and remind us that He is always with us.

Have a blessed week!

Word of Today:

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

Romans 8:28 is a truth God wants to plant deep in your heart, something to stand on when life makes no sense at all.
We all like to be in control. In control of what we wear, what we eat, where we live, how much we make, how successful we are. And most of us like to think we know best, too. But the truth is there’s so much we simply cannot control, sickness, accidents, natural disasters, the timing of a death. It’s usually when we come to the end of our own control that we finally begin to depend on God.
And here’s what we discover when we do: God can see the whole picture. “All things work together for good.” But let me be careful, because this verse is often misquoted. Paul does not say all things are good. Nor does he merely say “it’ll all work out” in some vague way. He says God causes all things to work together for good. We don’t believe in blind chance. We believe a sovereign God is actively weaving every thread, even the dark ones, into something good.
What does “good” mean here? Not necessarily comfortable, easy, or the outcome we’d have chosen. The good God is working toward is spelled out in the very next verse: to make us more like Jesus. God is committed to bringing glory to Himself and good to your life by conforming you to the image of His Son. And He does that through the circumstances of your life, the joys and the sorrows alike.
Charles Spurgeon said it beautifully: “God is too good to be unkind, too wise to make a mistake. And when you cannot trace His hand, you can always trust His heart.”
Remember the cross: when evil did its absolute worst, God did His greatest best. If He can bring the salvation of the world out of the murder of His Son, He can bring good out of your hardest day.
Notice, too, who this promise is for: “those who love God… who are called according to his purpose.” This isn’t a blanket guarantee that everything turns out nicely for everyone. It’s a precious promise for the child of God, anchored in His purpose for your life.
So, when you begin to hand control over to Him, you’ll find an amazing freedom.
You no longer must live up to the world’s impossible expectations or carry the weight of outcomes you were never meant to manage.
Whatever you’re walking through today, you can rest. God is putting it all together, piece by piece, for your good and His glory.

Word of Today

But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.
Ezekiel 3:19

I received many warnings from my mother while growing up. Some I vividly remember, like "Choose your friends wisely!" This warning reminded me I would become like the friends I spent time with. And my mother was right. I'm so thankful for the warning! How about this one… "Look both ways before crossing the street!" is another one. In Chapter 12, Ezekiel gives the people of Israel every chance to hear and understand the warning that judgment is coming. However, like a child who chooses not to heed a parent's warning, Israel had closed their minds and ears to the warnings intended for their good. The people of Israel decided they had plenty of time to live the way they wanted. They had heard the tragic prophecies of Ezekiel for a few years, yet nothing had come to pass, so they held to the belief that life would go on as it was with no consequences. In their rebellion and unbelief, the people of Israel chose to ignore that God was going to do what He said He would do. God's greatest display of following through on what He promised was when He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to cover our sins. For believers, this brings great hope as we look at both the judgment and justice of God. We have God's Word as our reminder and warning to see and hear the truth… God always does what He says. Please continue to share God's word to others.

Word of Today:

The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.
Psalm 24:1

Recent headlines have pointed to a looming financial collapse, a reported coin shortage, and an emerging cashless society. Are we witnessing the rise of a one-world economic system Revelation 13?
God gives us His financial statement in one line: “The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine” Haggai 2:8. The ultimate control of our finances rests in His hands, and He has charged us to be good stewards over the blessings that He has entrusted to us.
Money can easily become an idol, controlling us instead of our managing it. The love of money can replace our love for God. Many squander their health in pursuit of wealth only to spend it to recapture their well-being.
In Exodus 20:3, God warns us to place no other gods before Him. In Matthew 6:20, instead of stockpiling treasures here, Jesus instructs us to store treasures in heaven. Wherever our treasure is, we will eventually find ourselves there.
Honoring the Lord in our finances begins with recognizing that every gift we receive comes from our Heavenly Father. Even when we work hard to earn a paycheck, our jobs and the health and abilities to perform them are blessings from above. Be faithful to tithe, always remember the less fortunate, and ask the Lord to lead you in managing the rest. It all belongs to Him.
God will meet your every need according to His riches in glory. Give thanks for His generosity and faithfulness to you!

💙 A Monday Reminder

You don’t have to have the whole week figured out today.

Whatever is waiting on you this week, take it one day at a time and remember that God is already there. The things that feel heavy to you are not too heavy for Him.

“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.” — Proverbs 16:3

Start the week with prayer. Give God what you can’t control, be faithful with what He has placed in front of you, and trust Him with the rest.

You may not know what this week will bring—but you can know Who is going with you. 💙

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Our Children’s Policy at
Fair Haven Church of God

We wanted to make sure everyone is aware of our policy regarding children in church:
If your kids are loud, please still come to church.
If you’re running late because getting everyone out the door was a battle, please still come to church.
If your toddler won’t sit still, please still come to church.
If your baby needs to eat, please still come to church.
If your child asks questions at the least convenient time, please still come to church.
If someone cries, drops a toy, needs a snack, or has to make their third trip to the bathroom, please still come to church.
If your child doesn’t know all the words, all the prayers, or exactly when to sit and stand, please still come to church.
If you feel like you spent the entire service managing your children and heard approximately 12% of the sermon, please still come to church.
If Sunday morning feels messy instead of peaceful, please still come to church.
If you’re worried your children are distracting the people around you, please still come to church.

Because children do not learn how to be part of the Church by staying home until they can sit quietly.

They learn by being here.
They learn the hymns by hearing us sing them.
They learn the prayers by hearing us pray them.
They learn to worship by watching us worship.
They learn that church is home because we make room for them here.

The wiggles, whispers, dropped crayons, crying babies, and little voices are not interruptions to the life of the Church.

They are evidence that the Church is alive.

So bring the babies. Bring the toddlers. Bring the big kids. Come late. Sit in the back. Sit in the front. Step out when you need to and come right back in.

Just come.
Children are not simply the future of the Church. They are part of the Church right now.

“They sang a new song, saying: ‘You are worthy ... for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.’”
Revelation 5:9

Never forget: Jesus Christ died to save people from even the most remote corner of the world—people you and I will never know during our lifetimes but people we will be with in heaven forever. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” John 3:16. God’s plan is universal! No tribe, no language group, no nation is beyond the scope of His love.
The same should be true of us. Jesus’ words to His disciples have never been rescinded: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses ... to the end of the earth” Acts 1:8.
Not everyone is called of God to be a missionary or evangelist. But if you know Christ, you are a partner in His “grand design” to call men and women from every part of the world to Himself. By your prayers, your giving, your faithful witness, and your service, you can have an impact for the Gospel far beyond your homeland. How will you respond?
We are called to speak the truth of the Gospel to all people, Lord. Give us the willingness to get out of our comfort zones and to reach people from all walks of life with the message of hope found only in You.
