estimony Sunday is held a few times during the year. In this service, various members of the Body share testimonies of God's goodness. It is wonderful to hear what God is doing in our lives.
Your testimony is a powerful tool that can inspire, encourage, and guide others toward a deeper understanding of who God is. Share it to honor Him, encourage those around you, strengthen your own faith, maintain a humble perspective, and be a good steward of the incredible gift of God's work in your life.

This teaching presents Joseph's life as a foreshadowing of Jesus, the Messiah, through repeated patterns: beloved son, rejected brother, betrayed servant, faithful sufferer, falsely accused innocent man, exalted ruler, forgiving savior of his family, and provider of bread in famine.
Joseph's story shows that God can work through evil actions, painful delays, and confusing circumstances to accomplish His saving purpose. The message calls believers to see Christ more clearly through Joseph and to trust that God can also reveal Christ through their own lives.

God is alive and well today! The same God that we read about in the Bible is active in loving us and actively involved in our lives today. We often look at the miracles, healings, and the ways God guided his children in the Bible as things that happened long ago. The truth is, these things have never stopped happening. God is still doing miracles. He's still healing people. He's still speaking to us. God wants a personal relationship with each one of us. Let us open our hearts to receive all that God has for us and to live a life knowing that our God is alive and well!

For Jesus, “TEACHING TIME WAS STORY TIME. “Jesus taught in parables.”
Matthew 13:34-35 “Jesus constantly used parables when speaking to the crowds. In fact, because the prophets said that he would use so many, he never spoke to the multitude without using parables. For it had been prophesied, ``I will talk in parables; I will explain mysteries hidden since the beginning of time.''
Most people would rather listen to a story than to a teacher, even though most would agree that learning is more important!
●This explains why (on any given night) there are more people in movie theaters or in front of TV’s than in classrooms.
● But if teaching is about communicating truth in a way that it will be retained & understood, A STORY WORKS BETTER THAN A LECTURE!
Jesus did not just tell stories to entertain; HE DID IT TO TEACH HARD TRUTHS!
Jesus used parables for several reasons.
1.) It is a great way to get people to at least listen.
2.) It is easier to remember the lesson learned because the story reminds them of the lesson.
3.) The message of the story is less likely to be distorted because it is held in context by the story.
4.) But I believe the main reason is; He wanted to target His audience.
JESUS USED PARABLES LIKE A PRECISION GUIDE MISSILE TO SPEAK TO SEGMENTS OF THE CROWD.
Though Jesus' voice was heard by the whole crowd, only those with hungry hearts heard what He really said.
● Much like a newborn hears the reassurance & comfort in the unintelligible words his mother speaks to him.
When Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28
● The sick… heard their healer ● Those oppressed… heard their deliverer.
● The lonely… heard a friend. ●And the lost… heard the way.
The challenge is simple but serious:
learn from Jesus, then teach like Jesus.
Tell the story. Share the truth.
Make sure the hero is Christ.

Jesus Our High Priest: The One Who Restores Us
Many people approach the Bible looking for a method, a formula, or a sequence of steps. We want to know how things work. That is not wrong. Scripture does reveal patterns, covenants, sacrifices, ceremonies, commands, and promises. But the deeper question is not simply, “How does salvation work?” The deeper question is, “Who saves us?”
In the Old Testament, the high priest stood between God and the people. He represented God’s holiness to Israel and represented Israel’s need before God. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest entered the holy place with blood, but only after making atonement for himself. The entire process was serious, ordered, and weighty because sin is not a small thing. Sin separates. Sin corrupts. Sin requires cleansing.
Yet those rituals were never the final answer. They were shadows pointing to the substance. The blood of bulls and goats could not permanently restore humanity to God. The priests themselves were weak, sinful, and mortal. They could mediate for a time, but they could not save forever.
That is why Jesus is so glorious. He is not merely another priest in a long line of temporary priests. He is the true High Priest. He entered the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by human hands, and He entered by His own blood. He is also the sacrifice. He bore our sins, carried our shame, and was cast outside the camp for us. Then He rose, ascended, and now lives to intercede for those who come to God through Him.
This means the believer’s confidence is not in religious mechanics, personal effort, or spiritual performance. Our confidence is in a Person. Jesus is the promised King, the perfect Sacrifice, and the eternal High Priest. He restores what sin broke. He represents us before the Father. He advocates for us when condemnation tries to speak.
The Christian life is therefore not lived by fear, but by faith. We run the race looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. We strengthen weak hands and feeble knees because the One who saves us also sustains us. The question is not whether we have mastered every detail of the system. The question is whether we are looking to the One who fulfilled it all.

'The Outlaw' written by Larry Norman
Calvin Bergsma spontaneously felt led to sing this after a Sunday morning message about Jesus' identity.
Calvin in the senior pastor at Georgetown Christian Fellowship. www.gcfchurch.net

Lyrics
Some say He was an outlaw, that He roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians and few old fishermen
No one knew just where He came from or exactly what He'd done
But they said it must be something bad that kept Him on the run

Some say He was a poet, that He'd stand upon the hill
And His voice could calm an angry crowd or make the waves stand still
That He spoke in many parables that few could understand
But the people sat for hours just to listen to this Man

Some say He was a sorcerer, a man of mystery
He could walk upon the water, He could make a blind man see
That He conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish and bread
That He talked of being born again and raised people from the dead

Some say a politician who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption, and He bowed to no decree
And they feared His strength and power, so they nailed Him to a tree

Some say He was the Son of God, a Man above all men
But He came to be a servant and to set us free from sin
And that's who I believe He was, 'cause that's who I believe
And I think we should get ready 'cause very soon we all will leave
