May God bless your special day.

To Carl & Bonnie Wisher on their Wedding Anniversary.

God performed the first wedding amongst humans,
Yes, He did (read Gen.2:21-24). God made Adam from the dust of the ground, and soon after, God took one of Adam’s ribs and made it into a woman.
And God brought her to the man. God was the best man for Adam, the bridesmaid, and the father for Eve.

The Birth of Christ. Bible Study Lesson 2.

Hey Gang, it's me, Egbert. Today the pastor wants me to speak to you about the birth of Christ. In the December 2020 Newsletter, we left off with question (Q-8), What else did Mary say after hearing the angels words (LK.1:38).

1) God was preparing a human family to participate in His plan of redemption. But God did not choose just any family, but the family of Abraham because he feared God and obeyed His commandments. Obeying God is rewarding. God rewarded Noah because he did all that God had commanded him. Because of Noah’s obedience, (Q-9) how many souls were saved during the great flood? Reference Scripture 1-Peter 3:20.
Answer_____________________________________________________________

2) God’s plan of redemption also included Abraham and Sarah, his wife. (Q-!0) What did God promise Abraham he would become because he to was obedient to the Lord’s commandments?
Reference Scripture Gen.12:2.
Answer_____________________________________________________________

3) As Christians, It is important that we know how we fit into God’s plan of redemption. The Bible says
If we have faith in Christ (Gal.3:26-27), (Q-11) then who’s seed are we? Reference Scripture Gal.3:29.
Answer_____________________________________________________________

4) The Bible tells us that God chose Mary, a virgin, to be the mother of Jesus, but gives very little information about Mary’s life or her parents. However, after Mary had spoken with the angel Gabriel, she went to the city of Judah. And Mary went to The home of Zacharias, and Elizabeth, his wife. (Q-12) Who was Elizabeth, that Mary, the mother of Jesus, rushed off to visit? (Q-9) Who was Elizabeth‘s, father, and what was his name? Reference Scripture Lk.1:5.
Answer_____________________________________________________________

5) Elizabeth’s father was the brother of one of God’s most faithful servant. (Q-10) What was the name of the brother of Elizabeth‘s, father? Reference Scripture Ex.4:14.
Answer______________________________________________________________

Notes:_______________________________________________________________

Heavenly Father,
Today I pray, keep those who read
This prayer from reasonable and wicked
People, we pray Lord, put a hedge of protection

around Them their family and their possessions,

I pray in Jesus' name.
Amen.

As a parent, if you had an assignment to sit down with your children and tell them about Dr. King, what would you say to them? How would you describe Dr. King to your kids? Today, our kids might remember him from his speech, "I have a dream speech," but Dr. King's work on racism is more significant than that. As a parent, the first thing I would tell my kids about Dr. King is, He was a courageous man who stood up and fought against the injustice that every black man faced in the United States of America (Please read Micah 6:8).

It took a man of great courage to stand up and challenge the authorities in the South for violating the voting rights of people of color. It took a man of courage to march from Selma to Montgomery, the two southern States that thrived most on slavery, segregation, and racism (Read Psalm 27:1).
It took an extraordinary man to march down the main streets of Selma and Montgomery and offer his body as a human punching bag, to the people who hated him most because of the color of his skin (please read 1-Peter 2:19-22).

Secondly, Dr. King was a man who made so many personal sacrifices, to benefit all of God’s people who lived in the United States of America; regardless of the color of their skin, Dr. King fought for justice for everyone (Please read Rom.12:1).

Thirdly, Dr. King was a man of great restraint. Dr. King’s adversaries threaten to kill him; they threaten to harm his family; they called him names, spit in his face, put him in jail, they beat Him with clubs, with their fists, yet, Dr. King did not raise his voice or his fists in retaliation.
Dr. King did not hurt, harm, or threaten anyone in retaliation for the harm his adversaries inflicted on him; Nor, did Dr. King back down because of their threats (Please read Rom.12:17-21).

Fourthly, Dr. King was a man of integrity. Dr. King Had a firm understanding when the apostle Paul said, be angry, and do not sin (Eph.4:26,27). Dr. King fought his battle doing everything that adhered to God’s moral standards. Dr. King treated his enemies with respect, and behaved decently and honorable, even while his adversaries were beating him with their fists and clubs (Please read Eph.4:26). Dr. Kings enemies came after him in the name of hatred, but
Doctor King came in the name of the Lord.

Fifthly, Dr. King was a man who was obedient to the words of God. Dr. King obeyed, when Jesus said, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do well to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use and persecute you. Dr. King fought his adversaries with prayer, with love, with peace, with mercy, with patience, and with faith in his God.

Sixthly, Dr. King was a man who followed the examples that Jesus taught His followers. Furthermore, Dr. King demonstrated those same examples, which are: “Love one another as I have loved you,” and like Jesus, Dr. King exhibited that love before the whole world, even while in a bitter battle with the agents of evil. It is not every day that a black man can change the hearts and minds of a nation, but Dr. King Jr. did, he caused the American people white and black to examine themselves and look deep within their hearts to see if any evil exists in them.
