For most of us (regardless of who you voted for), this election cycle will come to a welcome end this evening. It's been long, exhausting, and rather anxiety-producing! But as we go to sleep tonight, we take comfort in this truth: when we wake up tomorrow morning, Jesus Christ is still seated on the throne of heaven. He is still ultimate authority. No matter who will assume the position of "Leader of the Free World" on January 20, 2017 (Inauguration Day), we know that "
there is no authority
except from God, and those which exist are established by God" (Romans 13:1).

How much has been pledged toward EVEN GREATER so far? How many families have made those commitments? Pastor Lincoln answers these questions and addresses a concern some have had in the video below.

The goal is 100% participation!
Please turn in your commitment in the next week.
Or turn in a commitment card (available in the pew pockets) during the offering in one of our worship services this coming weekend.

Romans 2:22-23; Hebrews 5:5-9
We will also take time to appreciate our veterans
this Veteran's Day weekend!
Reflections from last Sunday's sermon: "The Haunted Heart: Overcoming False Happiness," Philippians 3:1-10:
None of our sources of happiness seems false at the time.
Let God impact your strongly held beliefs repeatedly.
To be willing to spot false happiness, you have to trust God more than your experiences.
Giving up false happiness is not enough by itself.
We must replace false sources with the true Source.
Work at gaining Christ and see what He replaces.
Exchange trash for treasure.
