West Lynchburg Baptist Church

June 9, 2013 Volume 3, Issue 23

The church with heart in the heart of the city.

Just Around The Corner...

The Purpose of the Church He works on us in all sorts of ways. But above all, He works on us through each other. [People] are mirrors, or carriers of Christ to other [people]. Usually it is those who know Him that bring Him to others. That is why the Church, the whole body of Christians showing Him to one another, is so important. It is so easy to think that the Church has a lot of different objects education, building, missions, holding services. ... The Church exists for no other purpose but to draw [people] into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose. It is even doubtful, you know, whether the whole universe was created for any other reason. C.S. Lewis

Dont Miss Your Chance to Bless and Be Blessed...The Needs are Many Prayer GUIDE for 60 Days of Passionate Prayer
(7 to be listed each week) 1 Today I give You praise, O God, for Your marvelous works in all things in all the world. (Read Isa. 12:4-6. Name His works in missions and thank Him as each one comes to mind.) 2 All praise to You, O Lord, for the gift of Your Son Jesus, for it is in His name that we do the work of missions in our hearts, our homes, our churches, and beyond. 3 Than You, God, for working in the hearts and minds of women in WMU history who knew the importance of praying for missions. Than You for ________ (name) who set the example for me. 4 Help me to be strong and of a good courage when praying for missionaries serving in hard places (Josh. 1:9). Guide me to pray not with timidity but with boldness. 5 When missions efforts in my life, my church, my community, and beyond seem impossible, remind me with God all things are possible (Matt. 19:26). 6 Father, thank You for women who were and are willing to plant WMU work where there is both hard ground and ferile ground. Show me where I can be faithful to plant as well. 7 Lord, we celebrate Your call to missionsminded pastors. Give them courage to lead us outward and to call out Your servants for mission service.

Say it again Two ladies were praising the merits of their respective preachers. One said, "Our minister is so wonderful. He can preach a dozen sermons from the same text." Her friend then responded, "Why that's nothing. Our minister is more wonderful still. He can take any text in the Bible and preach the same sermon from it!" -Kenneth Foreman
