Checking our Coordinates
John 17:1-5
Word From the Pastor
In our journey with Jesus let our constant prayer be that the Holy Spirit would keep us in close alignment with the spiritual coordinates of Jesus both in times of blessing and in seasons of sorrow. Let our spiritual career glorify God and shed His light in the surrounding darkness. What else do we have to live for?

Ministry Spotlight
God’s Grace Delivered
This morning, a very kind man in our church gave me a pair of slippers. These tan suede slippers have furry cushions to keep my feet dry and warm. He wasn’t required to provide me slippers, nor was this a payment for anything I did for him. It was simply an act of grace.
Another time, a church member came to Pastor Jim with a check for the Final Word. Again, he wasn’t obligated to give; instead, God had blessed him, so out of gratitude, he wanted to bless Pastor Jim.
Just recently, some men in our church, with chainsaws in hand, went to several homes in our community to clear trees that had fallen in our last ice storm. Not for pay nor for accolades, but out of the kindness of their hearts, these men cleared out these trees, saving these families thousands of dollars.
In the Old Testament, as the Israelites were wandering in the desert, the Lord showed His grace by raining manna from heaven to feed His people. But not all acts of grace miraculously appear from heaven; instead, they come through the hearts of His people. I am truly grateful for our congregation’s instruments of God’s grace to His people.
