My Cup Overflows

This continues our series on Psalm 23, “The Lord Is My Shepherd.”

In Psalm 23, David teaches us so many “lessons from the sheep pen” that help us understand how God cares for us as our Shepherd. During our last lesson, we talked about the summer months that the shepherd spends with his sheep in the high tablelands of the mountains. As we continue our study today, we move into the fall of the year. In Autumn, storms of sleet, hail and early snow begin to hit the high country, and the sheep will soon be forced down from the tablelands to the home ranch for a long quiet winter. Blizzards can also make this a miserable time for the shepherd and his sheep. There are, however, some amazing days yet to be enjoyed during the Indian Summer weather that comes before the winter sets in. The flies and insects and scab that tormented the sheep during the summer months are gone, and the sheep are strongest during this season. That is why David writes in Psalm 23:5, “my cup overflows.”

Angelo Tyler (center) gets baptized

One of our sisters, Charlene Jones graduated from Joliet Junior College last week. In fact, she was chosen to be the commencement speaker. Charlene, we are so proud of you for fulfilling that dream in your life. It is so important to go after your dreams. At midweek services for the men, I asked them to write down their dreams for 2008; five personal and family dreams, five church dreams and five community dreams. What are your dreams? Christmas is a time of dreaming; of dreams come true, and a church, like individuals, needs to always be aiming at something. An unknown author once said, “Aim for nothing and you’ll hit it every time.” So what’s our aim as a church?

Disciples share their convictions about Christ the Lord

Christ the Lord - Outline

Luke 2:1-20
Anthony Franklin preaches on this verse that is traditionally viewed only as “the Christmas story.” But it is much more. It’s about Jesus being the Lord (master) and Savior.

We get a gift that we didn’t expect or deserve - a Savior is born
We needed a Savior.
Lord means master/owner in EVERYTHING
Jesus has to be the Lord of your life to also be the Savior of your life

Romans 6:21-22
Matthew 6:33
Ecclesiastes 7:14
Romans 8:5-8
John 12:23-28

Six of our youth who made Jesus their Lord and Savior this fall share about their life.

Christina Walsh introduces the sisters:
Christian Keith
Tracy Shelbrack
Peggy Diaz

Joel Parlour introduces the brothers:
Victor Sulaimon
Richard Enyi
