Restored souls do not fall into sin or depression. A passion for holiness is only supported and sustained by a disciplined process of abiding. It is not emotion that keeps us pure, nor is it unrefined desired that keeps us from sin. Only the disciplined rhythm of a life consecrated to be with God morning by morning, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year - continually standing before God - keeps us from falling. We position ourselves for God’s protection by giving Him extravagant time each day. When this becomes our daily practice and priority, it is not only “the people” who are blessed - we, too, are preserved and sustained. Abiding in Jesus is the primary way we survive and thrive.. - Dick Brogden Happy Birthday Joshua Gamez ~ 5th Melvin Oehlert ~ 5th Diane Glovier ~ 7th Upcoming Events Sunday, February 8 ~ Teen Challenge Men’s Center - 10:30 AM ~ Fellowship Lunch following service ~ Quiburi Service - 3:00 PM Tuesday, February 10 ~ Senior’s Luncheon - 11:30 AM Sunday, February 15 ~ Appreciation Banquet - 6:00 PM Saturday, February 28 ~ Men’s Prayer Breakfast - 8:00 AM Sermon Notes: Daily Reflections - Love 1 2 3 4 5 - 1 Corinthians 13:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-9; 1 Peter 4:1-8 1 John 4:7-21; John 13:34-35 Ruth 1; John 3:11-24; John 15:12-13; Luke 7:36-50 Romans 8:31-39, 5:6-8; John 3:16-17; Psalms 136 Romans 13:8-10, 12:9-13; Galatians 5:13-14
