Sermon Text: Ephesians 5:15-20
Sermon Title: "Time Well Spent"
|
|
15 Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, 16 making the most of the time, because the days are evil. 17 So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, 20 giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise & Worship
Prelude: Allegro on "Now Praise my Soul the Lord" by J.G.Vierling
Opening Hymn: "Rejoice, the Lord is King!" #699
1 Rejoice, the Lord is King!
The risen Christ adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
and triumph evermore:
lift up your heart,
lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
2 God's reign can never fail,
Christ rules o’er earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus given:
lift up your heart,
lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
3 Rejoice in glorious hope!
For Christ, our Judge, shall come
to glorify the saints
for their eternal home:
lift up your heart,
lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Special Music: "More Than Anything" Arr. Lamar Campbell
Closing Hymn: "Jesus Will" Arr. Anita Wilson
1 Who opens doors that I can not see
(Jesus will) x2
Who will make all my decisions for me
(Jesus will) x2
Who opens doors,
Who opens doors that I can not see
(Jesus will) x2
Who will make all my decisions for me
(Jesus will) x2
[Refrain:]
When I'm in trouble He gives me a song
In the night season and all the day long
Who makes me do right when I would do wrong
Jesus will (x2)
Postlude: "Jesus Will"
Praise and Worship Leaders: Alicia Reid, Dee Dee Burnett and Regina Pozzi

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
