ENOUGH EVIDENCE?

To the beleaguered Christians who were told to expect a new

wave of persecution, Peter wrote: “...Rejoice to the extent that you

partake of Christ’s sufferings...” (I Peter 4:13a). One of the points of

commonality among early Christians is that they did that very thing ...

they rejoiced when they suffered for the cause of Christ.

But what are we to conclude if we never suffer for Christ and His

cause? If you’re going month after month and year after year and

there are no negative repercussions that ever come upon you

because of your faith, then maybe your faith has not been clearly

demonstrated.

That may be because you’re a secret agent Christian or a

Spiritual CIA member. You are a covert operative because there have

been no negative repercussions for your faith.

To put it another way ... if you were accused of being a Christian

- would there be enough evidence to convict you? Just asking...

Announcements

Dear University Church Family, Thank you so much for the calls, cards, encouragement and especially your prayers for our family. Daddy’s illness, in addition to being separated from him for weeks, has been so painful for our family. We’ve been so comforted knowing that our brothers and sisters in Christ are praying for us. God bless you for your love and compassion. Love Jody Vickery and Mary Jo Hoffman.

UCC is offering additional study resources on our website. There are links to sermons and Bible classes from other congregations, resources from lectureships and Polishing the Pulpit, as well as test-based resources. The direct link is https://ucoc.org/study-resources/

A need from Mike Haynes: Our Prison Hygiene Products needs replenished. He was able to deliver Hygiene products to Easterling Correctional Facility in Clio, AL, which depleted our supplies. If anyone can donate to this need, you may bring products to the church office on Mondays or Fridays or on Saturdays between 4 to 5 pm at the East entry. The bucket has been placed in the car port entry foyer. *Soap, Antiperspirant, Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Denture Adhesive, Denture cleansing Tablets, Denture Brushes, Shampoo, Lotion and Disposable Razors.* Mike is hoping that he may soon be able to share our worship services with the inmates who were attending our services at Red Eagle by downloading our services on a jump drive.

Dalraida is preparing two containers to send Children’s summer clothes/shoes and because vocational skills are taught, any good power tools that are in working condition to Guatemala and to Honduras.
