Sarah Mayo shared with the church her trip, this summer, to Africa through Southern Sudan Missions, a mission the church supports.  The team created a VBS program to share the love of Christ to over 1,000 children in Gambella, Ethiopia.  Sarah stayed 17 days and visited Newland Church of Christ, Pwoljay Church of Christ, Abol Church of Christ and Lare Church of Christ.  The majority of the children want to hear the bible stories and take home the crafts they make.  Every year they have to turn kids away because there is not enough supplies or room.

The hardest part of the trip was getting the crafts ready and getting them there Sarah said.  She spent countless hours cutting the crafts apart.  The churches report that they have baptisms daily and it costs about $50 to fill the baptistry with water for a baptism.  The water evaporates quickly in the hot weather of Sudan.  To get the water, it cost the mission $15,000 to dig a well.  It is a very humbling experience to work with the kids, Sarah said.  They have basically enough food for the day and maybe two sets of clothes.  I want to help so much.  I leave a part of my heart there every year.  Sarah stated that they need more people to go so that more children can learn about Jesus.

Southern Sudan Mission is headed by Tyrone Mynhier.  He is training others to take over the ministry in the near future if he can’t continue.  A copy of their last news letter is below.  The address is:

Southern Sudan Mission

Sarah plans on going next year and is preparing for a VBS serving 1,500 children.  They need your support.  Please send a donation to the above address.  Below are some videos of the children.

The writer of Hebrews teaches that Jesus is better than any High Priest because Jesus was before the Levitical Priesthood.  Brother Bob Huron explains how Melchizedek blessed Abraham and Abraham knew his position by giving a tenth of his spoils of war when he rescued his nephew Lot.  Jesus when he died on the cross, he went into the Holy of Holies which is God’s throne and interceeds on our behalf.  He enters by his perfect sacrifice and his shed blood.  Again, this subject is deep and the Hebrew writer wants us to know the importance that Jesus has as our High Priest. Please click the link below to here the audio sermon.

The writer of Hebrews teaches us that Jesus is our High Priest.  We fight a battle against our enemy, the devil.  Jesus encourages Christians because he has defeated the enemy and now is our shield.  Jesus was tempted in every way we are and yet Jesus never sinned.

Brother Bob Huron teaches from Hebrews that shows how Jesus is our High Priest.  As a High Priest, Jesus was selected by the people. He was appointed by God. He represented the people in the matters related to God.  And finally, Jesus offered gifts and his sacrifice for us, once and for all.  Jesus is our source of our salvation.  Bob shows how Jesus was a better High Priest over the priest of the Old Testament.  This is a very deep subject, so listen carefully.  Please click the link below to here the audio sermon.

There are many warnings in the Bible directed to Christians.  We find the Hebrew writer telling Christians that God brought his people, the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt.  But because of their grumblings, and turning away from God, very few of the original Israelites entered the promise land.

Christians today are still in the wilderness and can fall away.  We have not gone to the promise land (ie. heaven), yet.  Hebrews chapter 3 gives Christians a warning that we must not turn away, lest we fall away.  We must be faithful to the end.  We must encourage one another, hold firmly and hold fast.

Last year a study showed that 73% of Americans say they are Christians, yet one third attended a worship service once a month.  A Christian can fall away and not enter heaven.  Brother Bob Huron is going through the book of Hebrews.  Today’s message comes from Hebrews chapter 3.   Please click the link below to here the audio sermon.

If you ask someone how they are doing, they may respond by saying they are busy.  We all have busy lives.  We are busy, busy, busy.  But did you know that a Christian has to make priorities.  Above all, we are to love God first.   In all that we do, God comes first if you are a child of God.

The second priority is to love our spouse, family and friends as much as ourselves.  Minister Vernon Eldridge teaches from Matthew 22 and tells us what happens if we don’t place God first in our lives and love our neighbor as ourselves.  On Judgement Day, there maybe a lot of people who know the Word of God, but never did it.  God will say, I never knew you.

The Wallaces lead the decision time by leading the congregation in singing “The River”

It used to be that the most popular scripture in our society was John 3:16, but now Mark 7:1 is the most popular.  “Judge not, least you be judged.”  How sad.  The devil has manipulated the meaning of words in our society.  The word, tolerance is one of them.  Christians are called to the teach the truth by God.

The meaning of tolerance is the willingness to accept feelings, habits, or beliefs that are different from your own.  Christians are very tolerant but we don’t teach anything other than the Word of God.  God does not teach us to accept beliefs that are different from God’s Word.  This is what the society and the devil is pushing on Christians today.  Are we going to be tolerant or tell the truth?

Minister Huron looks at what was happening during Israel’s captivity in the book of Ezra.  We are to be like Ezra.  Ezra studied God’s Word, obeyed God’s Word and taught God’s Word. Are Christians to be tolerant and not teach the truth of God?  We can love the sinner, at the same time, hating the sin.  It is a Christian’s duty to lovely tell the truth of God’s Word to a lost person.  Not to be silent.  The devil has labeled the Christian intolerant to try to shut them up, not just to tolerate a person’s unbelief.  Listen to the audio lesson below.
