Phone a friend
David Sproule
September 2, 2026

One of the most popular parts of the TV game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” was the three lifelines, which included, “Phone-a-Friend.” Of course, you wanted to choose the friend who was best suited to help in that moment. The success rate was roughly 2 out of every 3.
When you are facing a spiritual challenge…when you are struggling with doubts…when you feel disconnected…when you are in a situation where you don’t know what to do…when the devil is pressing your buttons…when you start thinking that maybe you are not where you need to be spiritually…when you are hurting due to life’s trials…who is your “Phone-a-Friend”?
More pointedly, is your Phone-a-Friend a faithful New Testament Christian, who has your highest spiritual interests foremost in their hearts?
You don’t need someone who will tell you what you “want” to hear but someone who is best suited in that moment to tell you what you “need” to hear (Prov. 27:17; Ecc. 4:9-12; Gal. 6:1-2; Eph. 4:15).
That’s a true friend! So, in your life, who is that person?

Subject: Longing For His Appearing

Good Morning to all,

It is a mostly clear 56 here in NJ this morning. It will be a mostly sunny day with highs in the mid 70s.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award me on that day; not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing." (1 Tim.4:7-8).

II Timothy is generally considered to be the last of the apostle Paul's writings in the New Testament. It is inferred from today's two verses that he is prepared for his "departure." Longing for the Lord's appearing helps us all to keep our faith intact and eternity in proper perspective, as it is all about the confidence we have of His coming. Looking back on Paul's life, his dramatic conversion, his many perils and triumphs, his many years of faithful service, he wrote with confidence of his position in the kingdom. He was confident of being awarded a "crown on that day." While "that day," is the most significant that any Christian will ever experience, lets not overlook the latter part of today's passage. Those receiving the crown will be those "who have loved His appearing." To me, the clear implication is that above all else, Christians long for His appearing and wait for His return as the reward for living a godly life of service to the Lord and others. Do we? This week we will examine more about longing for his appearing.

Have a wonderful day... Do good and give God the credit... LOve mark Phil.4:11

Subject: Whom To Love... The Lord

Good Morning to all,

It is a mostly clear 70 here in NJ this morning. It will be a mostly clear day with highs in the low 70s.

"And this commandment we have from Him, that one who loves God should love his brother also." (I Jn.4:21).

I saved the best for last when we speak of whom to love. John says in today's verse that those who love the brethren will also love the Lord. On one occasion in the gospel of John, Jesus asserted that some did not have the love of God. "But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves." (5:42). The proof of our love for the Lord is found in our obedience to Him. "If you love me, you will keep My commandments." "Jesus answered and said to him, 'if anyone loves me, he will keep My word; and the Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our abode.' " (Jn.14:15, 23). After Peter had denied Jesus three times, the risen Savior in Jn.21, at a breakfast meeting of fish and bread, gave him the opportunity to confess his love for him three times in Jn 21:15-17. After the third time, Peter said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love you." (V.17). Just days later, Peter was ready to celebrate the "first birthday" of the church on the Day of Pentecost where he preached the first Gospel sermon. Peter was now ready to make known to the world how one who loves the Lord can be saved as recorded in Acts 2:38. "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." It was that way then and still is today. We are saved, and show our love for the Lord by our obedience to Him. Amen.

Have a great start to your week. Begin it with a RAK or two... LOve mark Phil.4:11

FROM THE BACK PEW!

Without Spiritual Growth… Numerical Growth Won't Happen!
JUST A THOUGHT!
There are some people we know and some we don’t, including family members who did
not see the sun come up this morning, but you did and GOD has blessed each of us to
rewrite the narrative of our life. Some of you may take advantage of that and some may
not, but GRACE came down and offered us this opportunity. As we come into the
sanctuary, sit in the sanctuary, worship in the sanctuary, and leave the sanctuary what was
going through your mind? Was your mind pure? Were you being a hypocrite? We're you
worshipping in Spirit and in truth? Bottom line, were you happy to be in worship service
or were you just there because it’s something you felt you had to as a part of your every
Lords Day routine, wondering what you will eat for lunch or what sports team is playing.
No love for GOD and HIS word? Sometimes we get distracted, but we need to get back
on track.
God Is Good, All the
Time—All the Time God
Is Good
I am not sure the first time I heard the saying, “God
is good all the time and all the time God is good.”
Recently, I have been thinking about these words,
and they have become even more meaningful to me.
May I share with you some of the ways I have been
using this phrase and how it has helped me?
God Is Faithful, All the Time—All the Time, God Is
Faithful
Throughout the Bible, there is the assurance that we
can trust every promise, every assurance and every
word God has said. For example, when God
promised to protect us from being tempted above
that which we are able to bear and then promised to
provide a way of escape in every temptation, it is
tied to the words, “God is faithful” (1 Cor. 10:13).
You can trust God because it is impossible for Him
to lie (Tit. 1:2). You can always trust God.
God Is Merciful, All the Time—All the Time, God Is
Merciful
Think about these words from Moses: “Therefore
know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful
God who keeps covenant for a thousand generations
with those who love Him and keep His
commandments” (Deut. 7:9).
How long is a thousand generations? If we think of a
generation being thirty years, then God’s mercy is
always here—even for 30,000 years! To sense the
magnitude of this poetic expression of a thousand
generations, remember that from Adam to the birth
of Jesus there are only sixty generations! All the
time, God is merciful.
God Is _______ All the Time—All the Time, God Is
_______
As you deal with situations in your life, fill in the
blanks above with your own thoughts about any of
the attributes of God. God is holy, pure, gracious,
good, compassionate, loving, caring, listening,
forgiving, almighty, knowing, present, near,
watching, helping, etc. The list is endless because
there is no exception to His abiding nature. His eyes
are always over us, and His ears are always open.
His arms are always outstretched. They embrace us,
and His tender hands caress us. While He has the
whole world in His hands, the truth is that He has me
and you individually in His hands, even when in
those darkest hours we forget it.
The attributes of God are not finite and capable of
being limited by time. They cannot be limited by any
measurement. God is infinite and every attribute of
His nature is infinite. We speak of the fact that God
is omniscient (all-knowing), that He is omnipotent
(all-powerful), and omnipresent (always present in
every place). Every attribute of God is timeless. He
never changes for He cannot be limited. So, when
you read of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
Joseph, and all those in the Bible, add your name to
that list, for God is always God!

Sundays sermon
LESSONS FROM WOMEN
(Jn.2:1-11; Jn.4:1-26; Jn.8:1-11; Jn.20:1-18)

INTRODUCTION. In the Gospel of Luke, there is a remarkable emphasis on women in his account of the life of Jesus. ( a ) Lk.8:1-3). This morning, however, we will look at John's Gospel, as He offers us another look at the work of women in Jesus' ministry. Four women are featured in a rather prominent way in John's writings, each with a profound lesson of truth in her day and ours.

I. MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS ( Jn.2:1-11)
(A) The lesson of obedience
( 1 ) Jn.2:4
( 2 ) Jn.2:5

II. THE SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL (Jn.4:1-26)
(A) The Lesson of knowledge
( 1 ) Jn.4:10
( 2 ) Jn.4:16-19
( 3 ) Jn.4:24; 4:39

III. THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN (Jn.8:1-11; Lev.20:10)
(A) The lesson of forgiveness (Jn.8:7)
( 1 ) Jn.8:10-11

IV. MARY MAGDALENE (Jn.20:1-18)
(A) The Lesson of hope
( 1 ) Jn.20:1-10
( 2 ) Jn.20:18

CONCLUSION In these three stories regarding specific women in the Gospel of John who had encounters with Jesus, we find these very important lessons. ( a ) Jesus mother knew Jesus the best and urged others to obey Him. ( b ) The Samaritan women was inquisitive and even challenging in her conversation with Jesus as she learned from Him. ( c ) The adulterous woman, the most silent of the four stood humiliated and frightened before Jesus, and heard Him offer forgiveness . ( d ) Mary Magdalene found her sorrow overwhelming when she saw that Jesus' body was missing, but felt her spirit lifted and soaring when she saw her Lord and heard His message of hope.

Sermon Topic: LESSON FROM WOMEN

Scriptures: JN.2:1-11; JN.4:1-26; JN.8:1-11; JN.20:1-18

I look forward to worshiping with all of you this Lord's Day... LOve mark Phil.4:11

Subject: Whom To Love... The Brotherhood

Good Morning to all,

It is a cloudy 71 here in NJ this morning with a very light rain falling. It will be a mostly cloudy day with a high of about 80.

"Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your soul for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart." (1 Pet.1:22). "Honor all people, love the brotherhood...." (1 Pet.2:17)

In the two above verses, the apostle Peter charges us to love the brotherhood, and not only to love it, but to love it fervently. As we view the church we must think of it globally but to act locally. We should obviously be loyal to our congregation, but also have concerns for the spiritual health and well-being of the church everywhere. It is interesting to note that most of the apostle Paul's epistles were written to local churches, many times about problems that they might be having. Though they were written to local churches, they obviously had global implications. There are some wonderful publications like the Christian Chronicle that keep us up to date about churches around the world. Why should we read something like this you ask? I would maintain that it lets us know that we are indeed one body, and we are to "honor all people and love the brotherhood.

Have a great day... T G. I. F... Today. God. Is First... LOve mark Phil.4:11
