Weekly Update - 9/27

Thank you Jay Spencer for filling in for Patrick, who was out of town today.  
He asked "Why Are We Here?"
~~To worship and praise God.
~~To stir one another.
We don't live in a world that really reveres God.
We must still honor God. What matters is not of the world, but of God.
God takes sin very seriously.
We must teach God's word and live God's word.
He reminded us of John 8:2-11..."Let him without sin cast the first stone."
God has always been concerned about His people and His love of His people. 
~~Do the will of God
~~Do not be judged NOT doing God's will.
Humble yourself to the Lord....CALL UPON HIM!
Be merciful if you WANT the mercy of God.

Weekly Update - 9/20

Thank you Patrick for the message this morning "A Test Of Faith" with the text from Matthew 15:21-28.  

A Canaanite woman begged Jesus to heal her daughter, who was demon possessed and suffering. But, Jesus was silent... She continued to scream to Jesus!  (As a mother, I would be the VERY same way!  "Please Jesus heal my baby!".)  
Jesus then tells her that “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
She said “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Patrick asked us if we thought Jesus was having a bad day?  Did we see a crack in Jesus' love and compassion?
There are 2 reasons why did not do that:
  1.  He wanted to teach his disciples something ... How to care.
  2.  He cared for her deeper needs...He was more concerned about her faith.

The beginning of faith is the acceptance of who Jesus really is.

• How does your faith compare to that of this woman?
• Have you, over and over again, asked God for healing or help, and it seems that he doesn't hear you?
• Do you feel that He is not treating you as a father would or should treat his children?
• Could it be that God is testing you?
• How has your faith been refined and proven true?

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• Barbara Campbell - Recovering from an emergency appendectomy this week.

Prayer Request - 9 / 19

Misty Gage asks that we keep their son, Grayson, to our prayers and sent this message:  "Grayson dislocated his shoulder this past Monday at school and couldn't put it back in place himself, which he learned to do earlier in the summer after his multiple episodes. After 4 different trips to the ER this week and being sedated 5 times, his shoulder will not stay in place. He can breathe wrong or just tense up and it comes out. As you can imagine the pain is excruciating. His problem is rare in children and he has the orthopedic doctors in Paris stumped. Calls have been made to Children's Hospital in Dallas and hopefully he will see a pediatric orthopedic doctor on Monday.  He is worn out physically and emotionally and is scared.
Please pray that the Lord will guide us to a doctor that will have the knowledge to help him."'

Read more about the Children's Advocacy Center...

Our Mission is to promote hope, healing and justice to child victims of crime in Lamar and Red River Counties.

The Children's Advocacy Center of Paris (CAC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that depends on the community to continue to serve children of horrific abuse. A child who has been abused is changed forever. The experience can't be undone. Our community is working together with the CAC to bring hope to children during the darkest moments of their lives. The CAC Model utilizes a Multi-Disciplinary Team of professionals that work these most difficult cases together as a team. The CAC is the hub that coordinates all aspects of a child's individual case, from investigation and prosecution, to medical evaluations and mental health. And with formalized partnerships with Child Protective Services, law enforcement, and prosecution, CACs are the one place where these partners can bring a victim where children are the central focus.

Can you help?

In the past, Lamar Avenue has participated in a medical evangelism team that visited La Chona Mexico. Although we no longer make that trip ourselves, we are in touch with others that do. A team will be going to La Chona, Mexico on October 1st. You can participate by providing the following:

• Vitamins, 
• Aspirin, 
• Tylenol, 
• Reading glasses and 
• Used eye glasses.
  
  Boxes located in the foyer will receive your gifts. See Louie or Marolyn Woodall if you have questions.
