Thought for the Week
[We] are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24, ESV).
A holy and just God can declare believing sinners righteous, because Jesus paid the price to set them free from their sin. That’s what redemption is all about. In Bible days, slaves could be redeemed. They could be set free if they or someone else paid the owner for their freedom. Here’s the good news! Jesus paid a high price to set you free form sin. He paid the price of His own shed blood on the cross.
The Bible says to every believer, “You were redeemed… not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Peter 1:18-19).
Paul Harvey tells a story about Lieutenant Commander Edward Henry "Butch" O'Hare, the Navy's number one ace in the Second World War and the first naval aviator ever to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is named for him. What “Butch” O'Hare became, however, was made possible because someone else paid a great price.
That someone else was Butch's father, Edward J. O'Hare, a slick lawyer for the gangster Al Capone. “Artful Eddie,” as he was known, had money and power, but one day he squealed on Capone. The reason for this sudden change of heart? He wanted to give his son a break, he said. Before long, the mob silenced Artful Eddie with two shotgun blasts.
But because of Eddie's courageous change of heart, his son Butch was accepted at Annapolis: Eddie's confession and subsequent death satisfied admissions people that the family's mob connections were severed. Artful Eddie paid with his own life for his son's chance to make good, something that Jesus Christ did for each of us on the Cross (Steven D. Mathewson, Helena, Montana. Leadership, Vol. 12, no. 1).
When Jesus died on the cross, He severed your connection with the worst gangster of all, Satan himself. By His death on the cross, Jesus set you free from sin and death, giving you the opportunity to make something good with your life.

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).
Care Giver Support Group, 6 p.m., May 21, in the lobby at Faith Bible Church. Caring for a loved one is difficult work. It can often leave a strong person feeling overwhelmed and stressed. If that's you, then join us as we seek God's life-transforming love through the Scriptures, allowing the Holy Spirit to encourage us to live out of God's call to love others.
Men's Breakfast, 8 a.m., Saturday, June 6, at Faith Bible Church. Men, join us for some good food and fellowship at our next Men’s Breakfast in the fellowship hall.
