Alright friends...today's your day. The Lord has something for you to learn, to do, and to share. He has a blessing for you and a blessing to pour out on someone else through you.

Have you asked Him?
Have you thanked Him?
Have you read, even a bit of, His Word?
Are you looking for your chance to speak, praise, or help?

Now is the moment to make those decisions...You are on the "victor's" team. He's there and He's more eager to interact than you or I will ever understand. He loves you dearly and longs for you and I to be close to Him.

"Upon this rock, I will build my church. And the gates of Hell will not prevail against it."

"All authority has been given to Me on Earth and in Heaven. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all I have commanded, and yes, I'm with you even to the end of the age." Jesus

Good afternoon friends. As a quick reminder we will be celebrating Tim Miller's birthday and the end of the AWANA year on Sunday at Coonskin Park and the Columbia Shelter (first big shelter on the left).

There will be no Sunday services at the church building, we'll all be at Coonskin starting about 10:30-11 to hang out, have a devotional, and eat good food!!!

If you invite anyone let them know the plan! 😁

This weekend is such a blast, please come. Bring a chair and participate in the joy of our kids growing in wisdom, grace, and stature.

Getting a head start on this morning's sermon with a couple hard to read photos from my notes. 😜😁

In Luke 22 we'll be looking at the plan of God coming to fruition as a blessing for mankind...it will involve the worst story in human history, "the only innocent man to ever live (a cosmic or spiritual metric) is crucified for the sin He didn't commit. (Gal. 4)

With that in mind, we need clarification and a refresher in two areas:

1. What does it mean for something or someone to "be a blessing."

2. How does a sovereign God bring them about in my life?

Below are the notes for those two areas of consideration:

I'll type them out later for clarity.

For those that attended this morning. Guests and family alike, thank you. In 15 years we've never had a bigger crowd.

For those who worked so hard to make it happen comfortably, bravo. You nailed it.

For those upset their schedule didn't allow much help these last couple weeks, don't worry there will be more to come. We'll see you then.

All this effort, planning, and future thought is for one purpose--to make disciples that build His kingdom. Everything else is a waste of time and money. As we embark on what's next, that's the only goal worth having and it's the only one He'll bless from start to finish. Pray for direction, peace, and faith.

And for the one teen that came up to me this morning and said, "You didn't say 'go get'em!'" Thanks for the reminder that people are actively listening to what's going on around our church...and that details and repetition matter. Even the small ones.

"I love ya. Go get'em this week."

If you haven't been in the gym these last couple weeks, you're in for a super surprise tomorrow!

It looks awesome. Thank you to everyone that's put their "hand to this plow!"

We're moving down the gym until the Lord makes clear what He wants us to do next. The sanctuary has been "almost full" for about a year. Tomorrow is our first service (not COVID related) in the gym. There's been a ton of work from many to make it both functional and beautiful.

There are 263 chairs in the gym (over 60 extra from the sanctuary). If you don't have a church home, if you want to love the Lord and want to know Him better, and if you want to live that kind of life with real people--HBC has a spot for you and your family.

The story of Zacchaeus is the grace of Jesus that everyone loves. The "acceptance" and open-handed grace of God...but it's Zacchaeus' reaction that shows it real. And that's the part so many hate.

Jesus grace leads us to repentance and changes the goals, directions, and passions of our lives. If our interaction with Him doesn't change our life, we didn't meet the King or Kings and acknowledge Him as such.

More today; Luke 19:1-27 "The Reign of King Jesus"

PS, if you're coming in person be mindful of the parking lot. It's sloped and consistently tricky! If you need it, pull up to the front door and we'll get your car parked!!
