Worship Bulletin

              Welcome; we are very glad you are here.

             

             Thought for the Day

             Deuteronomy 6:4-6, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:”

   What's the difference between knowing about someone and actually knowing them?  You might know a lot of facts about your favorite athlete or movie star, but that doesn't mean you have a relationship with them.

     Moses shows us this difference when he speaks to the Israelites about knowing God. He doesn’t start with a list of rules to follow; He starts with the heart. The reality is that knowledge about God's commandments differs from knowing the God of the commandments.

     How does this work in your relationships? God doesn't want you to be a good citizen; He wants you to be a godly citizen whose love for Jesus is evident in every aspect of life.  People are watching your every move. They watch how you respond when traffic makes you late, how you treat the cashier when they make a mistake, and how you handle stress when the bills pile up.

     When you love God wholeheartedly rather than halfheartedly, your friends and family will learn what you didn't even know you were teaching. Your authentic love for God becomes the temperature that sets the spiritual climate of your relationships in this lost world.

     Start today by examining your own heart.  Let your faith be more than head knowledge and receive the heart transformation that comes from the Father.   

 

       Celebration Sunday:

      Today is the fourth Sunday of the month and time to celebrate our blessings with our church family.  Everyone is invited to stay and enjoy a great time of food, fun and fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ.

 

      Encouragement:

     Joseph was called Barnabas, “the son of encouragement,” by the Apostles because of his ministry of encouragement in the life of others.  Today, every church needs a modern-day Barnabas.  Can you fill that spot, today?

 

      Did You Know that:

      Apples are part of the same plant family as roses? Plums, raspberries, and many other delicious fruits are also part of this plant family.  Humans wouldn’t be able to taste food without saliva. While SPAM is most popular in Hawaii, it was actually invented in Minnesota.

          "Verse of the Month" Contest.

      Can you find our verse of the month?     Every week, we will reveal a word or a phrase that is a part of one special verse in the Bible (KJV or NKJV).   Those who find all the clues and guess the correct verse will receive a gift.     But every person will have only one guess, and your wrong guess will disqualify you; so wait until you get more clues and you are absolutely sure.         We appreciate all of you who spend time in God's Word.   

    The final clue for the month of July is: "Spewing."  There are four clues for this month's verse.    (when you are sure, send your answers to gmbc1610@gmail.com)

    And; Good Luck. 

                                  

       The verse for the month of June was:     Matthew 20:23

       Congratulations to our winner for the month of June:
