Sermon Text: Mark 13:1-8
Sermon Title: "Expectations"
|
|
1 As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” 2 Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”3 When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?” 5 Then Jesus began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. 6 Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.

Praise & Worship
Prelude: "Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ" arr. by John A. Behnke
Opening Hymn: “This Is The Day"#286
This is the day, this is the day
that the Lord has made,
that the Lord has made;
we will rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it,
and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day,
This is the day that the Lord has made.
Special Music: "I Surrender All"
Closing Hymn: “Holy, Holy, Holy” #4
1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee:
holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee;
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
God ever-living, through eternity.
3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee,
though the sinful human eye thy glory may not see;
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love, and purity.
4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy Name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Postlude: Rondeau on "Royal Oak" by Michael Helman

The shelter has a year-round
list of needs that are always appreciated!
They're especially short on men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors & socks. Food items: canned meats, #10-size canned fruits/vegetables & applesauce.
Please sit your donations under the shelter, next to FCC's parking lot,
at the set of double doors with a mailbox.
Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.

First Christian Family,
With thankful hearts, we welcome November!
We have a couple of tremendous opportunities to continue to support our neighbors via our holiday meal distributions and Christmas event!
Mark your calendars for November 20th and December 18th. These will be community events where we distribute holiday meals. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Pastor David or Paul! If you would like to give donations towards the feast meal, look for our donation envelopes on the welcome table in the lobby or visit our website and click the donate tab!
Also, be on the lookout in December for our Angel tree, as we hope to fulfill the Christmas lists of 25 children!!
We continue to be grateful for all of your support and prayers! Please continue to bring your peanut butter and jelly. Share this good news of the gospel with your friends and coworkers. As we continue to put faith in action, through the practice of shared abundance, with our neighbors in Winston Salem!
Peace and continued shared abundance,

Christian Action Ministry
My Friends! For several years now, I have been searching each month for a different way to emphasize there are people in Winston-Salem and all of Forsyth County who do not have enough food on their tables for themselves or their families to eat. No matter what I have said or how I’ve said it, you have responded overwhelmingly and I thank you sincerely.
Crisis Control Ministry knew this fact way back in 1974. They contacted churches, ministers and congregations and told them their help was needed. First Christian Church, 2320 Country Club Road, was one of the early responders and has continued to be a strong supporter both financially and by food gifts since that time.
Crisis Control Ministry has selected flour, sugar and other baking supplies for the month of November. The upcoming holidays increase the need. These items can bring joy to a household by having the smell of cookies baking in the oven all through the house. What about a favorite pound cake for dessert and to share with a neighbor. No, I don’t have to tell you the need remains because you have been knowing it a very long time and responding to it.
In November we celebrate Thanksgiving.
I thank you for being the type of congregation who is willing to share what you have with so many others. I ask God’s blessings on all of you this Thanksgiving season!
