Weekly Update - 8/11


Randy is back from vacation and continued his series "Summer in the Psalms".  Today he talked to us from Psalm 90 "A Prayer of Moses".  This psalm talks of the brevity of life.  It's a psalm of lament, and talks of life being hard and full of questions.

I.    Confession (vs 1-2)
II.  Concession (vs 3-12)
III. Complaint (vs 13-17)

POINTS TO PONDER
1.  We are not homeless. (vs 1)
2.  God knows us as we are.
3.  Use time wisely!
4.  The goal is a wise heart. (vs 12)
5.  Leave a legacy
6.  Pray a BOLD prayer this week.
7.  How are you identified?



RESPONSE:  Doug and Jill Faires asked for prayers for peace and healing for their broken hearts. Their daughter Audrey and her husband Caleb Gillean were expecting a baby and had a miscarriage. This is the second baby they have in heaven. This precious couple would appreciate your prayers also.
