Thought for the Week
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen (Romans 11:33-36, ESV).
God works all things after the council of His own will for His own glory. In other words, when it is all said and done, you will praise Him for His marvelous works, even if you don’t understand what He is doing right now. So trust Him in the trial. Look to Him to work all things together for your good and His glory.
During a gathering of entrepreneurs in Las Vegas one of the speakers was a brand architect at Lego. During his presentation, he handed each attendee six Lego bricks. Then he asked them to estimate the number of unique combinations that could be created with those six bricks. This sounded like a trick question, so one attendee aimed high and guessed several hundred combinations. That left him several hundred million short of the actual answer!
Are you ready for this? The total number of possible permutations—six bricks with eight studs each—is 915,403,765. Nearly a billion possible permutations with six Lego bricks! (Mark Batterson, A Million Little Miracles, Multnomah, 2024).
Now, if just six Lego bricks have such possibilities, think about the infinite God of the universe. There is no way you or I can even begin to explain Him, so stop trying. Just look up and marvel at a God who is beyond understanding. And in your pain, just praise Him!

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).
Fair on the Square, starting a 9 a.m., Saturday, September 26. We'll set up a table to give away Gospel of John's, Church Brochures, pens, and water. It's our opportunity to reach out to the Lyons community with the good news of Jesus and introduce our church to people, who may not know us yet. We'll put together goodie bags at 6 p.m., the day before (Friday, September 25). Volunteers needed to put the goodie bags together and to give them away.
