5 The results of the shepherds neglect is that the sheep are scattered and unprotected. In this lesson, we learn about God restoring order and justice. We are in the season ofKINGDOMTIDE, the color ofKINGDOMTIDEis GREEN. The colorGREEN symbolizes growth. The cloths on the Com munion table and podium are changed to coincide with each season of the Christian calendar. KINGDOMTIDE runs from August 24 until Advent. KINGDOMTIDEis the newest of the seasons, dating no farther back than the late 1930 s. KINGDOMTIDE gives place for due attention to the eter nal presence of Christ and His Kingship with the parallel emphasis upon our stewardship. Its emphasis on the kingship of Christ and His kingdom, challenges us in our daily lives and in every area of our existence.

CDs $ Double CDs $ VHS $ DVDs $ 2 GOD CALLS FOR JUSTICE: Old Testament Survey JUSTICE PROMISED HOW TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART Perhaps while reading the announcements you realized you have never made a Christian commitment. Don t delay that decision! We encourage you to embrace God s love today and receive the salvation that only Jesus Christ gives. Here are five simple steps you can take to find assurance of sal vation. 1. Recognize your need. The Bible tell us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:23) All of us are sinners, and we must admit our need for a Savior. 2. Repent of your sins. Our sins create a wall that sepa rates us from God. By confessing our sins and turning from them, you will find forgiveness.

7 The Bible prom ises: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and right eous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). 3. Believe in Jesus. God sent His only Son to die so that He could pay for all our sins. Put your faith in Him and believe in His power to save you. The Bible says, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). 4. Receive His has given us a great gift in His Son, but we must receive His gift. Thank Him for loving and forgiving you, and ask Him to live in your heart. His promise to us is clear: But as many as re ceived Him, to them He gave the right to become chil dren of God (John 1:12). 5. Confess your faith. The Bible assures us: If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Rom.)

8 10:9). You have been born again and are now part of God s family. Tell someone else what Jesus has done in your life! MOBC FAITH DEVELOPMENT !! Kingdomtide (The pulpit attire is green) August 26 - December 1, 2012 Points: (1) David pulled from his history with God. (2) David was picky about his present. (3) David was positive about his future. These last four passages examine some of the Old Testament texts that prophesy God s coming judgments. The first is from Psalm 146. The remaining lessons are from the Major Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, and COMMUNITY NEWS!! 3 INTERCESSORY PRAYER Sick & Shut ins Dorothy Robinson Alma Tarry Frank Threatts, Jr. Bernard Williams Bernice Winston Betty Jo Williams Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh.
