Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
Luke 2
We
are a fearful people which is why we are instructed in scripture to
fear not. When an angel came to someone in scripture they were told
to fear not. Jesus came that we would not fear this life or death
and be a loving people. The Christmas spirit of life, love and
giving should be with us all year long.

Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
Hebrews 1 and Hebrews 4
What's
the deal with Christmas? Resisting the influence of the secular
world seems irresistible! The big build up for the 25th of December
often leaves the 26th flat and empty without Christ as our focus.
God understands us! We can know Him! Knowing Christ as Savior!

Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
Acts 27
Stay
with the boat during the storm. What anchors you?
Paul,
on a ship bound for Rome
1 And
when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they
delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named
Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
2 And
entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by
the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of
Thessalonica, being with us.
3 And
the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously
entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends
to refresh himself.
4 And
when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because
the winds were contrary.
5 And
when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to
Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 And
there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy;
and he put us therein.
7 And
when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over
against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete,
over against Salmone;
8 And,
hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair
havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Now
when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous,
because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 And
said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt
and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our
lives.
11 Nevertheless
the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more
than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 And
because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part
advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to
Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of
Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
13 And
when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their
purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But
not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called
Euroclydon.
15 And
when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we
let her drive.
16 And
running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much
work to come by the boat:
17 Which
when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and,
fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and
so were driven.
18 And
we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they
lightened the ship;
19 And
the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of
the ship.
20 And
when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small
tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then
taken away.
21 But
after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and
said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed
from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 And
now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any
man's life among you, but of the ship.
23 For
there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom
I serve,
24 Saying,
Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God
hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore,
sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as
it was told me.
26 Howbeit
we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But
when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in
Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some
country;
28 And
sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone
a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen
fathoms.
29 Then
fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four
anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 And
as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let
down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have
cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 Paul
said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the
ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then
the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 And
while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take
meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried
and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore
I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health:
for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 And
when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in
presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to
eat.
36 Then
were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 And
we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 And
when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out
the wheat into the sea.
39 And
when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a
certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it
were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 And
when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves
unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the
mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 And
falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground;
and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder
part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 And
the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them
should swim out, and escape.
43 But
the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their
purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves
first into the sea, and get to land:
44 And
the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the
ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

Giving
thanks? We need to be thankful always. Practice being thankful! Be

2 Corinthians 9:15, Acts 17:28, James 1;17
Thanks
be unto God for His gift of Jesus. Use your talents and abilities
for His glory. God gives all things and God does not change. Your
family, your church, your job are just a few and how shall I give to
God? Cheerfully and not grudgingly. Stewardship month once each year
in this Church is a reminder just as the letter of 2 Corinthians is
a reminder and instruction to the Church.

Matthew 6:19, Matthew 6:22
Don't
store up things here on Earth. Lay up your treasure in Heaven.
Having a right attitude about money ensures other aspects of
you life are right and good. He gives our every need! He always
will! We should give according to what scripture says! Give your tenth
and more if you desire. Why do we desire what we desire? What is your
motivation? Ask Jesus to set your priorities. God will give you the desires
of your heart.

Psalm 90:9-12, John 3:8, Romans 3:15
Moses

God would want. God gives us all we have and even created time! Use
all you have wisely! Use your God given mind for thought of good
things of God! Don't let emotions dictate your actions. Change your

Psalm 78:1-8, Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Christians
are to be set apart in society! Preachers need to tell the truth!
Too much of the world is coming into the sanctuary through the
preachers and teachers! The absolute truth should always be spoken.
Not half truths and absolute lies! Teach God's commandments to your

way God is still in control! He will care for my needs! God's Word!
God himself will not change! Ever! Do not be afraid of anything.
Study his word. Live your life in his word.

Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
Hosea 7
A
rebel is one who resists authority. When we know what is right and
resist we are rebellious. We rebel against God and do things our
way! Why is there such a demand to accept and approve the sins of
the world and tolerate evil as good? To rebel against God? Getting
sin out of your life will bring revival in your life and family and
church! Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft! Yes witchcraft
is still sin! It's here in our Bible! If you love the brethren and
assemble yourselves together you are what you say you are! Just be
obedient to God's word! There is an end to one who rebels! Here are
some indicators of rebellion.

Revival
has many meaning and perceptions for us. What are they? Why do we
lose hope when things don't go our way? These times will be challenging
and encourage and build our faith! Revival must result in reaping what
you sow! Revival is in the people! The Church! How do we reach the
lost and and dying world? Not many will even listen! Revival is the
response to God's word! We can thank him for all things and for the
opportunity to be a witness!

Reference
Romans 8:29, 6:11, Philippians 6:11
Want
change? Trust in God! How can I be more Christ like? In Trust! God
has the same desire for us; to be more Christ like. We are
predestined to be like his son Jesus! It is not what you have done!
It takes little on our part! It's all what Christ has done!
Surrender to God for freedom from sin for spiritual growth. Don't
look at yesterday but today and tomorrow! Surrender yourselves to
Jesus! Love the brethren!

Preacher Phillip
Messer
Reference
Genesis 1:, John
Today
Brother Phillip reminded us that all things are created by God and
people are set apart in creation. Evolution is a much greater
unbelievable faith than creation and takes a faith which is much
harder to believe with man coming from the muck. We will bow before
God today or tomorrow but we will bow down in this life or the
eternity to come.

Romans 6, Galatians 1, 1Corinthias 2, Acts 32, John 3
Wide
is the gate and path to Hell! A narrow path and straight gate for
one at a time to enter heaven. There is only one way to get to
heaven! It is through Jesus! As individuals we must come to Him!
Conversion is a step from the life of a sinner to the life of a
Christian! Be converted! Death, burial and resurrection is the
formula of salvation God has laid out for us! We must all see our
need, our penalty, God's provision for us and our confession of
Jesus as Lord! Trust, Repent and Believe in the gospel of Jesus!

We
are here today to worship! Each day is a day of worship! We need to
worship outside of these church building walls! Living for Christ is
our focus! A missionary focus is a focus we must have! The church is
reaching into many ministries! It's all about Christ! The need
to live your life as Christ would live! Freedom from the bondage of
sin is real freedom!
Today
Brother Todd Burns told us of the great work at the race track in
Indianapolis. We have sponsored his team's car and that has been an

Jude, 1Peter 4;2, Hebrews 9:22
False
teaching has been and will always be with us! We are instructed to
earnestly contend or fight for the faith which once was delivered to
us in this scripture. Mocking the word of God has been and will
continue in this world! From the beginning even Cain followed his
own religion not that of God. Preachers and Teachers are
hurting more than one when they lie or are mistaken! We need to know
the truth in this word! Have a sincere compassion for the lost and a
desire to serve Jesus! We have to have absolute confidence in Jesus!

2Timothy 2:15, 1John
excerpt reader
People
are different after accepting Christ! To stay from sin you must turn
from it! We can be sure of our eternity! When we are saved our lives
will be different! You must have a desire for holiness! The world
does not know us! It does not know Jesus! Few will enter into the
kingdom of God! Many are mistaken! Upon death of this body the
spirit goes to God. The soul to Heaven or Hell. That's what the
Bible says! A Christian does not live like the world! Dear God show
us what we desire and give us the desire to be holy. Change our
desires.

Genesis 3, 1 Peter 5, Romans 12:3, 1 Thessalonians 5:13
The
devil's job is to kill, steal and destroy. He wants to cause strife
in churches and in the life of Christians. From the beginning he
attempted to discredit the word of God! To cause confusion in God's
word and in our reasoning and to doubt God's authority by twisting
the word of God! God's ways are not our ways! Many times the devil
so frustrates us we don't even recognize when we have changed our
focus! Pray without ceasing! Pray Daily! It's how we must walk!

Reference
John 4
We
see the woman in this scripture was isolated. This Samaritan woman
is miserable. She was isolated in society coming to the well at noon
time instead of in the morning with the other women. Those who claim
Jesus but do not live for him are perhaps more miserable. Jesus is
extending grace to us and to this woman at the well. Jesus' mission
is to seek and to save that which is lost. That is our mission and
the mission of the church through Jesus!

Psalm 90:9, Ephesians 5:16
Focus
and use your time wisely because we are spending our days as a story
unfolding! Life may seem as a desert at times not knowing what is
next. These times draw us closer to God. Nothing good in life comes
without a struggle. You have today as a gift, how will you spend
your days. When you live by God's plan (salvation) you are saying no
to the world's plan (destruction).

Romans 13, 2Chronicles 7:14
Christians
should be involved in our political process. Just don't substitute
morality and goodness for a social gospel. Do not forget about what
was done at Calvary for our benefit! Abraham Lincoln said repent!
Jesus said repent! It has always been the same, repent today! Turn
from sin! Reject it! Don't give up hope in our form of government.
Is politics dirty and muddied? Yes! Support your government in
theses ways. Pay your taxes, Pray for our government, Praise God for

Preacher Bob Thompson
Reference
Matthew 18, 1 Corinthians, Acts 5
It is my desire today to say it is good and I am glad to be in the
house of the Lord! David's desire was to say I desire to dwell in
the house of the Lord forever. Sometimes things do go wrong in the
church! Just make them right! When wrong is recognized change it!
When you go to see a doctor you want the doctor to tell you what is
wrong with you, not what is right with you. If there is something
wrong you want to know so you don't just die! Instruction in the
Bible often tells us what is wrong to correct us.

Pastor
Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
Proverbs 3:11, Colossians
A father's first instruction in life is from his own father. If your
father is not or was not present in your life your instruction came
from someone. You are teaching your children what you are and what
they will become. Fathers fulfill a crucial role in the family and
cares for the family. Provider, disciplinarian and care giver. Whom
the Lord loves he corrects as a father does. Dads want the best for
their children. God has charged dads to urge children in the right
path in life.

Pastor
Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
Genesis 13 and 19, 1 Samuel 2:12, 1 Samuel 3:12
Most
examples of fathers in the Bible are bad examples teaching us what
not to do as a father. Place God first teaching our children and not
underestimating what God has for our lives. Eli the Priest knew of
sin and did nothing. Lot was great business man but a poor father.
Lot was a leader in Sodom but had no credibility with his family
when he tried to warn of judgment and coming destruction. He had no
positive spiritual influence with his children. Do you influence
your child for Christ or do others influence them in other ways. The
sons of Eli the priest were no different than the sons in law of Lot
in Sodom. Men! Be these three things in your home! Priest.
Restrainer of children. Involved in the family and household.

Genesis 25:5, Genesis 14
Abraham
gave all he had to his child Isaac. Do you give all positive and
negative aspects of what you are to your children? Reputation,
wealth, family values? Abraham cared for people and negotiated with
God for the souls of Sodom! His was a life of consecration, set
apart for God. He loved God more than anything! Children pay more
attention to what we do more than what we say! He taught Isaac by
example. We are giving all to out children whether it be good
or not and whether we realize it or not.

God what is God's! Give to government what is required! Obey the
statutes and laws of man. If man's laws disagree with God's laws we
ought to obey God's no matter what. We have freedom to travel in

Isaiah 40:8, John 6:63, Numbers 22:20
What
is the Bible? It is God's book. It brings me to God. The Bible is
truth and tells me the right thing to do. God has a plan for your
life and my life. Read the Bible straight forward and do what it
commands. When the Bible is silent on a topic don't make it speak
using your own words. Don't make rules. The plain sense makes good
sense, seek no other sense but take each word at its normal literal
meaning. The Bible is written in an everyday language of Greek and
Hebrew. Read God's word! Listen to it! Live it!

mothers are the worlds greatest asset! The influence mothers have on
children! An important part in the life of souls! No matter what you
do on this earth it is for nothing without faith in God! Children
need to know their mother's faith! Correcting children is done

Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
John 1:7, Matthew 28:18, Ephesians 1:22
Christians
are perceived as judges or judgmental by the lost. We are not judges
but are perceived that way because many of us do judge. The Bible is
our standard and no other book will supplement it. Denominational
differences are not from the standard. Be accountable to and for
your church. The Bible is our standard and Jesus is the
authority in the church. All power is given to him! He has put all
things under his feet. Be an ambassador for Jesus! Through the
apostle's doctrine which is the teaching Jesus gave to the apostles.
We can do and know the will of God through our
standard.

Bill's Message Excerpts
Reference
1 Timothy 5:16, 1 Corinthians 1:10, Matthew 13:33
The
churches responsibility is to prepare other saints for service.
Individuals should provide for the widows in their own families so
the church can provide for the need of widow's with no family to
care for them. Elders and Deacons are the only offices established
by scripture. Our churches have been incorporated as secular
organizations and begin behaving in a secular manner. We have a
responsibility to live in this world without becoming a part of it.
We have to avoid becoming something other than the church Jesus
built.

John 21, Romans 12, Romans 14:12
What
keeps us from serving God? Serve to you ability! Don't focus on
other Christians action or inaction! What are your excuses? Age?
Inability? Your upbringing? Your decision for Christ is your
decision. Many hide behind other people's failures and hypocrisy.
Each one of us will give an account of ourselves. It's up to you how
close you are to God! Bitterness has replaced blessings for many
Christians! Peter wanted to compare his work with John's works.
Please don't compare your service to another Christian's service.
God will use those who think they have very little to offer.

Reference1Peter
5, Acts 20:28, Colossians 3:16, Ephesians 3
A
Saint is a believer in Jesus. When this Bible speaks of Saints, that
is you! Feeding the flock of God is the responsibility of an Elder
in the church. The first job of the church is to teach the truth of
God's word. Our worship is to edify the church! The church Jesus
built! You can rely on his word! Preparing us for his service.
Preaching and teaching edifies the church! Speaking in love, not in
condemnation! The Spirit alone will reveal condemnation to someone!

Reference
Matthew 16:18, Hebrews 12:22, Ephesians 22There is one church going
to heaven! There is one church righteous! The church built by Jesus!
There is one church Jesus built! If you are not a part of his church
eternal death is in store for you. You are a part by believing upon
Jesus and repenting of all your sin! Repent is to turn around, to
turn from sin.

Valleys
cause us to grow. Find joy in good times and bad. Personality
differences can cause growth in our Christian lives! The enemy will
come against us and we need to recognize the attack when it comes!
Joy will abide in the good times and the bad times.

You
are in this game, this race of life. you will do it with Christ or
without. In retirement without him will be empty! Dads be there for
your kids! Moms be there for your kids! Children will live out what
they have been taught! As you grow more will be required of you.
More will be expected! What is tomorrow going to bring? What will be
expected of you? Be prepared to enter the next chapter of your life.

Happy
New Year!
We
receive gifts from the Holy Spirit, skills we are responsible to
use. There is no greater or lesser parts in the body of Christ. Each
on has a part in God's ministry in God's choosing. Working with
hands or teaching to build the physical and spiritual church.
Remember who you serve! Use your gifts! Step into the work! God will
let you know where you need to be in his service. Remember to
listen.
