Thought for the Week
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who
hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires
take the water of life without price
Eternal life is free. All you need to do is come to Jesus. All you need to do is say “Yes” to Him.
Tedd Kidd was five years older than Janet. He finished college before her and started to work in a city hundreds of miles from her. They always seemed to be at different places in their lives, but they had been dating for seven years.
Every Valentine's Day, Tedd proposed to her. Every Valentine's Day, Janet would say, “No, not yet.”
Finally, when they were both living in Dallas, Texas, Tedd decided he would try just one more time. He bought a ring, took Janet to a romantic restaurant, and got ready to propose for the last time. Another “no” would mean that he had to get on with his life without her.
After the salad, entree, and dessert, it was time. Tedd screwed up his courage, but since Janet had a gift for him, he decided to wait. “What did you bring me?” he asked.
She handed him a box the size of a book. He opened the package and slowly peeled away the tissue paper. It was a cross-stitch Janet had made which simply said, “Yes” (Rubel Shelly, Nashville, Tennessee; story told at Janet's funeral after 17 years of marriage to Tedd).
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are wooing and pursuing sinners all the time, inviting us to come spend eternity with Him. Please, don’t put it off any longer. Just say “yes” to the Lord today. Come to Jesus, and let Him clean up your life. Please, do it today before it is eternally too late, because Jesus is coming very soon!

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).

Celebrate Recovery, 6 p.m., every Friday at Kings Cross Church (former Presbyterian Church on 221 South Pioneer Street, Lyons, KS), beginning with a light supper in the Fellowship Hall. 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.
Christmas Eve Service, 6 p.m., Wednesday, December 24, at Faith Bible Church. We’ll sing

Christmas, putting Christ right at the center.
