Rev. Hank Hamilton
It’s amazing that when we lose someone we
love, how many everyday things remind us
of them; morning cups of coffee, walks on a
beach, holidays, and even love songs of any
genre. These times may cause moments of
sadness; but hopefully they also bring fond
loving memories of being with those we
love. May we also remember ‘God’s timing’
and His love for us. And that our loved
one is safe, not hurting and happy in His
presence — and that we will see our beloved
one again.
Hopefully, when it’s our turn to face this
human certainty we, too, will have this conviction:
Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”
Knowing/believing that; “For everything
there is a season, and a time for every matter
under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 “For
there is a time and procedure for every purpose,
although the misery (the sadness) of
man is heavy upon him”. Ecclesiastes 8:6
This verse tells us that even in our suffering,
God has a purpose for all things — trust
in His plan during challenging moments.
In your sadness, turn to Him; turn to family,
church family, friends… and yes, even to
music that brings peace to you.
The love expressed in the song, My Love,
was written about humanly love… But it
just as well could be a song about God’s
love for you, your loved one… for all of us

• and our love for Him.
  My Love — Songwriter: Tony Hatch
  My love is warmer than the warmest
  sunshine, softer than a sigh
  My love is deeper than the deepest
  ocean, wider than the sky
  My love is brighter than the brightest
  star that shines every night above
  And there is nothing in this world
  that can ever change my love
  Something happened to my
  heart the day that I met you
  Something that I never felt before
  You are always on my mind no matter what I do
  And everyday, it seems I want you more
  Once, I thought that love was
  meant for anyone else but me
  Once, I thought you’d never come my way
  Now, it only goes to show
  how wrong we all can be
  For now, I have to tell you everyday
  My love is warmer than the warmest
  sunshine, softer than a sigh
  My love is deeper than the deepest
  ocean, wider than the sky
  My love is brighter than the brightest
  star that shines every night above
  And there is nothing in this world that can
  ever change my love
  Be strong in your precious memories. Love
  one another.
  John 13:34-35 “A new command I give
  you: Love one another…”
  1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now these three
  remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest
  of these is love”.

  The historical account of Jonah and the
  whale is the miraculous account of God
  sending a storm and a great fish to change
  the direction of Jonah’s life. It emphasizes
  just how big and in control God is.
  Jonah was an Old Testament prophet who
  received instruction from God to go to
  Nineveh to tell them of His impending
  judgement for their wicked ways. What did
  Jonah do? He chose his own path and headed
  out in the opposite direction! Jonah was
  not where he was supposed to be.
  Are we where we’re supposed to be? Not
  physically, but spiritually. Are we where
  we know God wants us to be, or like Jonah,
  have we let our personal desires and feelings
  overshadow God’s purpose and will
  for our lives? Remember, Jonah was a man
  of God, yet he chose to be his own god by
  defiantly choosing his own way. If it could
  happen to him, it can happen to any of us.
  Choosing to be your own god is a dangerous
  place to be. Jonah 1:3 describes what
  happened next. Jonah goes DOWN to Joppa,
  DOWN into a boat, to end up DOWN
  in the belly of a great fish, DOWN in the
  bottom of the ocean. His disobedient life
  was on a downward spiral. The same will
  happen to us when we deliberately live in
  opposition to God’s will, which is plainly
  laid out in His Word and in the working of
  the Holy Spirit in our lives.
  Notice also, that Jonah wasn’t the only
  one affected by his disobedience. A whole
  bunch of folks on that boat were fighting
  for their very lives. Everything we do affects
  those around us. When sin comes into
  our homes, it not only affects the parents,
  but it affects the lives of your children!
  Jonah finally owned up to the fact that he
  was the problem. Not the storm, not the
  waves, but his disobedience to the clear instruction
  of God.

  Pastor Bubba Hoggatt
  We welcomed our new music minister,
  Mike Freeman. We had a great song service
  and his special “He Touched Me”, was very
  meaningful. This Sunday begins a new
  church year. Kids are promoted into different
  classes. New teachers and officers begin
  their work. We all need to realize these positions
  have eternal significance. Our goal
  is to bring others to Christ. Bro. Bubba‘s
  message was from I Timothy. In this passage,
  Paul was mentoring Timothy. He was
  explaining how to overcome obstacles he
  would face. Each of us has a position in the
  church, whether it is a teacher, deacon, or
  prayer warrior. No position is more important
  than another. Bro. Bubba explained 10
  things to apply to our lives to be successful.
  1) Teach sound doctrine. I Timothy 1: 3,4.
  Keep the main thing, the main thing . Fellowship
  is important, but we need to be
  sure it doesn’t take up our time in reaching
  people for Christ.
  2) Trustworthy. I Timothy 1: 11. God has
  entrusted us to pass on the gospel of Christ.
  We should be dependable and prepared.
  3). Purity of life. I Timothy 1:5. The way
  we live our lives will help draw others to
  Christ. We should live so they can see that
  we are different from the world.
  4) Spirit controlled. I Timothy 1:12. Our
  greatest desire should be that God finds us
  faithful. He puts His Holy Spirit within us
  to help us.
  5) Consistency. I Timothy 1: 19. We should
  be faithful to the house of God so that we
  can be consistent in his work.
  6). Prayer warrior. I Timothy 2:1. For people
  to see God in our lives, we must be
  prayer warriors. Satan knows the power
  of prayer, and will throw many hindrances
  into our prayer time. It is a battle with Satan
  to maintain our prayer life.
  7) Humility. I Timothy 3:6. A proud person
  has “ me attitude”, not putting others first
  . Humility is essential in leading others to
  Christ.
  8). Discipline. I Timothy 4: 8. Many people
  are very disciplined as far as their exercise
  and diet. It is important to take care of the
  temple (our physical bodies). But, it is so
  much more important to take care of what’s
  in the temple. This is a must if we are going
  to be faithful to God‘s work.
  9) Student of God’s Word I Timothy 4: 12.
  If we are serious about growing in Christ,
  we will spend time in his word. We should
  be able to share His Word with others in
  any situation.
  10). Leader in battle. I Timothy 6: 11,12.
  Always witness. Always be faithful, no
  matter what the situation. It is often a battle
  with Satan to do God’s work. If we aren’t
  willing to do these 10 things, then we aren’t
  who God needs to lead our church this
  new year.

  Philippians 4:9-13, 19: for I have learned
  in whatever state I am, to be content …
  We are not satisfied with what we have;
  we want More! Credit card debt is driving
  millions into bankruptcy. The only Command
  that deals with actions, desires from
  the heart: Exodus 20:17 – Thou shall not
  covet. It is an uncontrollable desire to acquire,
  wanting what others have; not being
  satisfied with what we do have.
  Many people are afflicted with covetousness
  desires of the heart because of wanting
  what others have; while eating them up on
  the inside, it cannot be seen from the outside.
  Coveting is where things own the person.
  Paul, even while in prison, reminds us
  to be content, the opposite of covetousness.
  We are to be content in what we do have,
  instead of complaining about what we do
  not have. Satisfaction comes from Who we
  have – Hebrews 13:5. What we have should
  be enough – Ecclesiastes 5:19. If we truly
  love God, we will serve Him through i.e.
  witnessing, etc. God’s power will work
  through us, when we make ourselves available
  to Him. And my God shall supply all
  your need according to His riches in glory
  by Christ Jesus.
  Covetousness comes from an ungrateful
  heart. We are to be glad for what others
  have. We can admire without acquiring.
  Sometimes the things we want, we do not
  even need. And we should be gracious to
  those who do not have. Remember from
  where your blessings come. God blesses
  us, so we can be a blessing to others. Praise
  Him for what HE has given you, as well as
  what HE has given to others.
