SUNDAY HYMN

We'll Understand It Better By and By

1. We are often tossed and driv'n on the restless sea of time;
Somber skies and howling tempests oft succeed a bright sunshine;
In that land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by.

Refrain:
By and by, when the morning comes,
All the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story how we've overcome,
We will understand it better by and by.

2. We are often destitute of the things that life demands;
Want of food and want of shelter, thirsty hills and barren lands;
We are trusting in the Lord, and according to his Word,
We will understand it better by and by. [Refrain]

3. Trials dark on ev'ry hand and we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us to that blessed Promised Land,
But he guides us with his eye, and we'll follow till we die,
For we'll understand it better by and by. [Refrain]

4. Temptations, hidden snares often take us unaware,
And our hearts are made to bleed for a tho'tless word or deed,
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,
But we'll understand it better by and by. [Refrain]


FAITHFUL GIVING
We want to say thank you for your giving and partnership.  YOUR GIVING MATTERS! Your faithful giving allows us to increasingly do the work of ministry for our members AND to everyone the Lord sends to us and sends us to.  
2 Corinthians 9: 6-7 ESV
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  
Malachi 3:10 ESV
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
 You may give HERE.

MEN'S MINISTRY

The RHEMA Men's Ministry is about God's ideal of Manhood.   As men we purpose to come together for spiritual empowerment. Our primary goal is to help men grow in their relationship with God and build deep friendships with other godly men in hopes of developing spiritually stronger men, husbands, fathers, families and churches. In our discipleship efforts we employ the small group model in  facilitating the growth of solid and deeper friendships with other men.

YOUNG ADULTS

ABUNDANCE

YOUNG ADULT BIBLE STUDY -  Abundance: Living Responsibly With God's Gifts will guide us into the biblical understanding of abundant life and help us sort out many of the faithful and practical issues that come together in a life of abundance.  Seven chapters offer Bible verses and discussion questions about "a life of joy," "material abundance," "over-indulgence," "Living simply," "money," "ways in which we are handled by our stuff," and "ethics." We'll wrestle with our personal finances, seeking always to discern the will of God.

Fortunately, if we will only have ears to hear, we are blessed with an abundance of biblical guidance. For Jesus really did have a preoccupation with wealth, speaking of money five times as often as prayer. Of course, his interest in wealth was not in its pursuit, but in the danger it can pose to Christian discipleship. Sign up HERE.
