This Sunday Pastor Bill will preach in the Chinese service - for the first time! (Pastor Chen is in Taiwan attending his brother's funeral and a few other deacons will be at a marriage enrichment retreat.)
When a soldier commits an Act of Valor he is awarded a Medal of Honor. Jesus Christ committed the ultimate act of valor to save us and we honor him with our faith and love. So the sermon this Sunday is "Honor God" based on 1 Samuel 2:30. God said to Eli (read the whole story): "Those who honor Me I will honor." We will consider what it means to honor God. This is a foundation principle for our lives.
FSF will continue with chapter 2 in The Case for Faith.
No ACE this Sunday since Pastor Bill is preaching in the Chinese service.

Things You Can't Do In Heaven
So far we have considered three things you can't do in heaven. You can't do a short-term mission. You can't 'walk by faith, not by sight.' You can't suffer for Christ. So these are things we should experience now while we have the time in this world. This Sunday the sermon will be "You can't use your spiritual gift to build up others in the body of Christ." Future Sunday sermons will be "You can't get married (enjoy sex) and raise children," and "You can't share the gospel with someone in your oikos."
Here are some scriptures to read before Sunday: Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12; 1 Peter 4:10-11.
FSF will read and discuss chapter 1 from The Case For Faith.
ACE this Sunday will begin a study of Revelation.

Things You Can't Do In Heaven
This Sunday it's Things You Can't Do In Heaven: You Can't Suffer For Christ. Acts 5:41: The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Would you rejoice if Jesus chose you to suffer disgrace for His name? Would you rejoice if Bill Maher ridiculed you for your faith in Christ like he has Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin? We only have this life to experience the fellowship of His sufferings. What a privilege to be chosen to suffer for the Name! The majority of Christians around the world are suffering various persecutions for their faith in Christ.
EM-LIFE will meet @ Englehart's house this Saturday - March 3.
FSF will begin a new book The Case For Faith.
ACE (Adult Christian Education) will begin a new study in REVELATION.
Honor God and He will honor you this week ~ Pastor Bill
