Thought for the Week
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us (Romans 5:3-5, ESV).
The more we suffer, the more we stay. The more we stay, the more we shine. The more we shine, the more we’re sure that God’s love will see us through.
Russian author and dissident, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, spent years in a Siberian prison. At one point he had become so discouraged, he decided to give up and die. His plan was to stop working out in the field, to lean on his shovel, and wait for the guards to come and beat him to death. However, when he stopped, another prisoner reached over with his shovel and quickly drew a cross at his feet, then erased it before a guard could see it.
Solzhenitsyn later said that his entire being was energized by that little reminder of the hope and courage we have in Christ. He found the strength to continue because a fellow believer cared enough to remind him of our hope (Raymond McHenry, McHenry's Quips, Quotes and Other Notes, Hendrickson Publishers, 1990).
Dear believer, no matter what you’re going through, don’t lose your hope. Hang on to the assurance you have in Christ for which you will never be put to shame.

News!
Celebrate Recovery, 6:30 p.m., every Monday at Kings Cross Church (former Presbyterian Church on 221 South Pioneer Street, Lyons, KS). Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find freedom from your hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Celebrate Recovery is for EVERYONE! No one should have to face their pain alone. We are a grace-filled community of strugglers who courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God, and others. In this process, we come to accept that some of the habits we have developed to escape our pain may have hurt us and those close to us. It is a biblically based approach to help us achieve long lasting recovery by healing our hurts, guiding us toward new healthy truths, and developing life-giving habits.
Men of Faith meets at 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. every Tuesday morning in the lobby at Faith Bible Church. "As iron sharpens iron," men are invited to sharpen one another in the middle of each week before work during a time of mutual encouragement, Bible study, and prayer (coffee provided).
Men's Breakfast, 8 a.m., Saturday, June 13, at Faith Bible Church. Men, join us for some good food and fellowship at our next Men’s Breakfast in the fellowship hall.
