Thought for the Week
[God] blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing… even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:3-4).
God blessed you, because He chose to love you, not because you chose to love Him. For He chose you “before the foundation of the world,” that is, before you did anything “either good or bad.”
Ken Langley from Zion, Illinois, worried for half an hour that he and his wife would not get on an overbooked flight. Then they were summoned to the check-in desk. A smiling agent whispered, “This is your lucky day. To get you on the plane I’m bumping you up to first class.” This was the first and only time they’ve been so pampered on an airplane—good food, hot coffee, plenty of elbowroom.
They played a little game, trying to guess who else didn't belong in first class. One man stuck out. He padded around the cabin in his socks, restlessly sampling magazines, playing with but never actually using the in-flight phones. Twice he sneezed so loudly they thought the oxygen masks would drop down. And when the attendant brought linen tablecloths for their breakfast trays, he tucked his into his collar as a bib (Ken Langley, Zion, Illinois).
Look around you. Can you guess who doesn’t belong here at church? The answer is, “None of us!” We’re all misfits, but we belong, simply because God graciously chose us to be a part of His family.
It’s a promise He made to all who welcome Jesus into their lives. John 1 says, “To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13).
Please, if you haven’t done it already, welcome Jesus into your life. Receive Him. Believe in His name, and so become God’s child, simply because God wills it.

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).
Semi-Annual Congregational Business Meeting, immediately following worship on Sunday, July 26. Join us for a brief review of the first half of the year followed by a light luncheon in the Fellowship Hall.
