Let’s celebrate together as FBC Richland and World Relief – Tri-Cities will be able to provide six Bed/Bath kits, seven Kitchen kits, and ten Kid’s Craft kits to Afghan refugee families when they arrive to make their new homes here. Thank you to all our church family for your tangible expressions of Jesus’ love.

Last Sunday, we had a wonderful Concert of Prayer breakout session, led by Kris Sperling, as we lifted up prayers and praises to God for the Afghan refugees who will be arriving, for our fellow believers in majority Muslim countries, and for Muslims around the world who haven’t yet recognized and accepted Jesus as the Son of God and their Lord and Savior.

Kris prepared an excellent Prayer Points handout to guide us as we move forward in prayer for Muslims here and abroad, and for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Muslim countries. If you weren’t able to attend the Concert of Prayer breakout, please pick up a Praying for Muslims Prayer Points handout at the Connect table in the church foyer.

The Promise: Hope

Pastor Tim Walker

“…that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.” -Galatians 3:22

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23 ESV

2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.
Isaiah 9:2 ESV

25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law,
28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word;
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation
31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him.
34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed
35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
Luke 2:25-35 ESV

As we leave on mission…

What must I do in response?

How does this truth apply to my life? Personally?

As the church?

In my community?

What steps do I need to take to apply this?
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based Goals)

What is a missional conversation nugget to discuss with family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc.?

To whom will I be accountable?
(reach out and ask… follow up)

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together.
“Rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.
