Wasting of Wealth 

James 5:1-6 

 

Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver are corroded. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This corroded treasure you have hoarded will testify against you on the day of judgment. 

For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 

You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter. You have condemned and killed innocent people, who do not resist you. 

 

 

Discover Grace is today after each service. It is for newer folks, visitors or any interested in knowing more about Grace Church. Additionally, it is an opportunity to meet some of the ministry staff and leadership. Then if interested in membership, we’ll look forwards to talking with you at a scheduled time. Either way, we’d love the chance to meet you. No childcare available. 

The Shoeboxes!!! They are Taking the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth! Have you joined in with us? This is a mission trip we all can go on! The impact of the simple gifts goes far into the future. Many testimonies are shared of children, now grown, who remembered the first gifts they ever received and when they first heard that the Creator of the World loved them personally. They wonder why would someone I don’t know send me a gift. Then they are told about Jesus and what His love does within us!! 

Every child—any age—boy or girl will love a stuffed animal, soft shirt, a ball. They love school supplies and simple fun gifts. International church partners in more than 100 nations hand out these Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts at festive outreach events over the next months where the Gospel is presented in a child-friendly way. Stop by the table TODAY—use our boxes or your own shoeboxes. We have less than 100 empty boxes available today to be filled. Don’t like to shop? Want to pack your box online—go to our website and connect directly to our church’s account. Bring your boxes back next Sunday, November 9. If you need a couple extra days to get them ready we will accept boxes in the office (week of Nov 9-13) to Mary Jane or Kelsie. 

One Service For Thanksgiving Sunday, November 23 We will have one combined worship bringing both services together followed by lunch. Watch for more details.
