Rev. Hank Hamilton

Come…. that’s what Jesus wants us to

do…. come to Him.

We would LOVE for you to come to

church with us.

What better way to get to know Jesus

than through coming to church. Com-

ing to church; worshiping with others

– praying with them — giving help and

solace to each other -– re-acquainting

with old friends — making new ones.

Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three

are gathered together in my name, there

am I in the midst of them.”

Our church is a place where you can

be yourself and be loved for just being

you. We here at Farmerville Methodist

Church try really really hard to love like

Jesus does. Won’t you , Please, come to

church with us? Let the peace of Jesus

come to you. Philippians 4:7 “And the

peace of God, which transcends all un-

derstanding, will guard your hearts and

your minds in Christ Jesus.”

And with the peace of Jesus, you will be

liberated… you will be forgiven for your

sins and you will experience the free-

dom that it brings to your soul. Freedom

from worry, freedom from the judge-

ment of others, free to worship openly,

free to serve God and others as Jesus

asked us to.

Galatians 5:13 “You, my brothers and

sisters, were called to be free. But do

not use your freedom to indulge the

flesh[a]; rather, serve one another hum-

bly with love.”

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where

the Spirit of the Lord is, there is free-

dom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17

Live as free people, but do not use your

freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as

God’s slaves” (doing His will, not our

own) 1 Peter 2:16

Happy 4th of July , America!! Land of

the Free – Home of the Brave!

Today we focus on three behaviors asso-

ciated with living “The Practical Chris-

tian Life” as laid out by Paul in I Thessa-

lonians 4:9-12.

Lead a quiet, peaceful life. We should

try to get along with one another, to be

a good citizen, a good neighbor. In the

old days, it was called “living the simple

life.”

The world today is in such a big hurry,

competitive, never satisfied. It needs

more and more…more money, more

opportunity, more things. This stands in

contrast to biblical teaching. Jesus said

to seek first the Kingdom of God. Trust

the Lord for the needs of your life, and

He will provide.

The constant need for more divides

homes and communities. It breeds un-

rest and jealousy. Paul says be satisfied

with the blessings you have in life and

slow down. Focus on what is most im-

portant-your relationship with the Lord.

Attend to your own life (mind your own

business). Don’t be a busybody. Don’t

stick your nose into other’s business.

We don’t need to know everything.

The need for more information robs us

of quality time. Set that stuff aside and

spend time with God and your family.

The need to know everything can also

bombard us with negativity, leading to

living in fear, anger, unrest, frustration,

and jealousy. Quit worrying about ev-

eryone else and focus on you and your

family.

Paul says, “Work with your hands.”

Strive to provide for yourself. Some in

the church had become so focused on the

return of Jesus that they had neglected

their jobs and were becoming a burden

on others.

Notice that Paul was not talking about

the elderly or those with health prob-

lems. He was speaking to those who

were able yet comfortable living off the

labor of others.

In his second letter to the Christians in

Thessalonica, Paul says that those who

do not work do not eat. It is not wise

to become dependent on others. That

behavior leads to all kinds of unrest

and problems. Able-bodied Christians,

above all others, should be productive

with their lives.

Paul reiterated in verse 12 that if we live

a quiet life, mind our own business, and

work to provide for ourselves, we are

more likely to get along with others and

not suffer need. God’s ways are always

the best ways.

Pastor Bubba Hoggatt

Jesse’s offertory selection “ He “was

beautiful. Jerry Mac really set the tone

for worship with his special, ” The

Shepherd’s Point of View”. Brother

Bubba‘s message was Isaiah 53. The Bi-

ble is amazing. The entire Bible is God

breathed. Some deny its truth. Some try

to destroy it. Some believe. God‘s word

never returns void. It comforts. It helps

Christians grow. It condemns sinners.

The unsaved are condemned already.

They can be forgiven only by trusting in

the shed blood of

Jesus. Jesus’ sacrifice is very clear in Isa-

iah 53. The Old and New Testaments all

point to Jesus. When Jesus bled and died

on the cross, he paid for all man’s sins.

Those spending eternity in Hell have had

their sins paid. They just refused to ac-

cept it. Just as all the prophecies of Jesus’

coming have been fulfilled, the prophe-

cy, that he will come again, will also be

fulfilled. We are commanded to observe

the Lord‘s Supper “ till he comes”. Fol-

lowing brother Bubba‘s message, we

celebrated The Lord’s Supper. P r a y

for our children and their leaders as they

will be at camp this week.

Associate Pastor Stephen Murry

Over 3000 years ago, it was determined

there would be unrest. In this world of

turmoil, our hope for peace is the com-

ing of the Prince of Peace, prophesied

in Isaiah 9:6 – For unto us a Child is

born, unto us a Son is given … Prince

of Peace.

Isaiah 26:3 – You will keep him in per-

fect peace, whose mind is stayed on

You, because he trusts in You. Not po-

sitions, possessions, or even recreation,

but Christ Jesus is our source of peace.

One Name removes anger and hostility

and replaces Peace – “Christ Jesus”. HE

can turn turmoil into tranquility; chaos

into comfort. We learn about the source

of peace in His Word – the Bible. Turn

your life over to Christ; you will need

look no further. Some will have a season

of peace; however, perfect peace which

lasts, can only be found in Christ Je-

sus. This peace comes, not as the world

brings, but when we turn our life over

to Him. HE is our source of peace. The

secret to peace: Christians abiding in

the shadow of the Almighty, as we rely

on Him for protection. HE cares for us,

even when we cannot care for ourselves.

Psalm 23:4 – Your rod and You staff,

they comfort me. Trusting the LORD,

we can find rest, no matter what is hap-

pening in our lives.

Do we believe what HE says, no matter

what? We can rest in Him. Unconfessed

sins, sins we have not forgiven ourselves

for, burdens too hard to bear … bring

these all to Christ Jesus. HE will forgive

sin, and bring peace into our lives. HE IS

the PRINCE OF PEACE.
