Sermon Text: Exodus 16:2-4,9-15
Sermon Title: "If Only"
|
|
2 The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In that way I will test them, whether they will follow my instruction or not.
9 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, ‘Draw near to the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.’” 10 And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked toward the wilderness, and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. 11 The Lord spoke to Moses and said, 12 “I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13 In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. 14 When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.

Praise & Worship
Prelude: Improvisation
Opening Hymn: "Nothing But The Blood"
1 What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2 For my pardon this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing, this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.[Chorus]
3 Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.[Chorus]
4 This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.[Chorus]
Special Music: "Healing Rain"
Closing Hymn: "We've Come This Far By Faith" #533
1 We have come this far by faith,
Leaning on the Lord,
Trusting in His holy Word,
He's never failed us --yet.
oh, oh, oh, can't turn a-round,
We've come this far by faith.
Postlude: "March in D" by Dan Macaw

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.

Christian Action Ministry
Hello Fellow Christians!
Another month of summer heat shows no relenting in the temperatures and there is no relenting in the fact that people still need help with food and food related goods for their families. Several years ago, Crisis Control Ministry looked at their client food order and decided to make it as healthy for their clients as they could. This decision spilled over from just food items to how they might be prepared in the healthiest way. So, for the Month of August, they chose COOKING OIL. There are many types on the market but I would think that VEGETABLE, CORN OR CANOLA would be best.
Ron and I delivered your PB &J to the Ministry’s food donation center this past Monday. The trunk of our car was filled to the brim with all the gifts you chose to share. Your generosity shows First Christian Church is “Putting faith into action” just like our T-Shirts say. Please continue doing what you are doing for all the people who are in need and you will make days brighter for CCM’s clients and for yourself as well !
Blessings, my Friends!
Becky Minnix – Christian Action Ministry
