Thought for the Week
Pastor and author, Mark Batterson, asks us to “imagine an old European city with narrow cobbled streets and storefronts as old as the city itself. One of those weathered storefronts has a sign hanging over the door: The Mercy Shop. There's no lock on the door because it's never closed. There's no cash register because mercy is free.
When you ask for mercy, the Owner of the shop takes your measurements, then disappears into the back. Good news—he's got your size! Mercy is never out of stock, never out of style.
As you walk out the door, the Owner of the Mercy Shop smiles, “Thanks for coming!” With a wink, he says, “I’ll see you tomorrow!” (Mark Batterson, Please, Sorry, Thanks, Multnomah, 2023, pp. 63-64).
When Jeremiah, Ezekiel’s contemporary, faced the fall of Jerusalem, he cried out to God, “Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:19-23).
In the midst of calamity, Jeremiah, like Ezekiel, counted on God’s mercies, which are new every morning. He came back every day to that “Mercy Shop” and found grace to help in his time of need (Hebrews 4:16). You do the same. When calamity strikes, count on God’s mercy every day.

News!
Ladies Bible Study, 6-7 p.m. every Monday @ Faith Bible Church. Nancy Hicks leads a study in God’s Word focusing on the women of the Bible. Invite your friends and join this life-transforming fellowship focused on the issues women face in our world today.
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).
