Mother Instructions - Galatians 6:1-8

05/29/2026

Writing from prison and uncertain whether he would live or die, Paul reveals the perspective that shaped his entire life: Philippians 1:21 reads, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” For Paul, life was not centered on comfort, success, reputation, or personal ambition. Christ was the purpose of his living. Every breath, every opportunity, and every hardship became a means of honoring and serving the Lord.

Then Paul says something even more striking: “to die is gain.” Because of Christ’s resurrection and the promise of eternal life, death was not an ultimate loss for the believer. It meant being with Christ forever. This did not make Paul careless about life, but it freed him from fear. This verse challenges us to examine what truly defines our lives. What do we live for? What captures our hearts and priorities? Only Christ gives life-lasting meaning and eternal hope.

Sunday, May 31, Sunday school is at 9:00 AM, and worship is at 10:00 AM. Tithes and offerings will be received in person, through the website’s online giving tab, or by sending your gift to the church P.O. Box 465, Howard, PA. 16841.

Sunday evening Ladies’ Bible study on Deborah continues at 6:00 PM. Our annual Worship in the Park is planned for next Sunday, June 7 at 10:30 AM, Pavilion 3 and 4 in the state park. The Church Picnic will be after the service. The church will provide the meat, table service, and cookies. Everyone is asked to bring a side dish and dessert to share along with their choice of soft drinks. Vacation Bible School is planned for June 8-12, 9 AM to Noon. Registration is open on the Church website, www.howardchristianchurch.org. There is also a VBS donation sheet available for snacks.

Friends, to live is to live with Jesus in view, and to die is to die with Jesus in view. Either way, the view is ultimate love and acceptance. We love you and will look for you on Sunday.

Galatians 5:22-26 - "Who Do You Belong To?"

05/22/2026

A point of reference is always a gift when you have lost your way. A high tower or a visible mountain is good to get your bearings and find your way. Proverbs 18:10 reads, “Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.” A strong tower was a place of refuge and a reference point in times of danger or attack. Solomon uses this refuge to describe the name of the Lord. The believer’s safety is not found in personal strength, wealth, or human solutions, but in who God is. Notice the urgency of that word: run. God is not merely an abstract comfort for difficult times; He is a refuge. This verse does not promise a life free from hardship, but it does promise security in the midst of it. Those who trust in the Lord are held securely by Him, no matter what circumstances may come.

Sunday, May 25, Sunday school is at 9:00 AM, and worship is at 10:00 AM. The worship service will be in person and virtual. We will share a special time in honor of Memorial Day. Tithes and offerings will be received in person, through the website’s online giving tab, or by sending your gift to the church P.O. Box 465, Howard, PA. 16841.

Please continue to pray for Becky and Russell Holter, Esther Geidroc’s father’s recovery from knee replacement, and those traveling for the holiday weekend.

"Love, Nutrients of Spiritual Fruit"
Galatians - 5:14-23

05/15/2026

Churches are easy to find, but choosing which one to join is more involved. Such an important decision deserves some investigation, and it’s good to start with what God’s Word says. Colossians 1:18 reads, “And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.” Ekklēsia—the Greek word for “church”—refers to people called out by God’s grace for the purpose of assembling to worship and serve Christ. Scripture describes the church as a body of believers and Jesus as the head. God’s design involves worship, instruction, encouragement, and evangelism, as well as ministry to those in need—both within the fellowship and in the greater community. The work of the church is to be done in His power, in humble and prayerful submission to the Lord. We are the Church, doing his work.

Sunday evening at 6:00 PM is the first session for the Ladies’ Bible study on Deborah. All ladies and young ladies are encouraged to come hear the challenge of the Judges.

"Hanging on to the Flesh" - Galatians 5:1-13

05/08/2026

Isaiah gives us a stunning picture of the future: Isaiah 25:6; “On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples.” It is not just a meal, but a celebration of God’s victory over sin and death, where all His people will sit together in joy. These are not just distant promises. They are anchors for our hope right now. Our world is filled with loss and disappointment, and our own hearts are restless. But because of the cross and resurrection of Jesus, we know the ending of the story. The feast is guaranteed, the grief tears will be dried, and joy will have the final word.

Sunday, May 10, is Mother’s Day, Sunday school is at 9:00 AM, and worship is at 10:00 AM. During the service, we will honor all the women in our church family. The worship service will be in person and virtual. We will talk about Galatians 4 and avoiding the traps that keep us from hearing the Shepherd’s voice. Tithes and offerings will be received in person, through the website’s online giving tab, or by sending your gift to the church P.O. Box 465, Howard, PA. 16841.

The Annual Howard Christian Church worship in the Park is planned for June 7 at 10:30 AM at Pavilion 3 and 4. After the worship service is our annual Church Picnic. The church will provide the meat, table service, and cookies. Everyone is asked to bring a side dish and dessert to share along with their choice of soft drinks.

Vacation Bible School is planned for June 8-12, 9 AM to Noon. Registration is open on the Church website, www.howardchristianchurch.org. We need volunteers. Please call or email Nancy Fishburn if you can help us.

Friends, our hope is not vague optimism or a general belief that things will get better. It is rooted in Christ alone. The future God has secured for us is unimaginably good. We love you and will look for you on Sunday.
