Today at Pleasant Grove

"It's In Your Hands Now" -- Luke 23:44-49.

Premise: The strongest being who ever walked the face of the earth found that, when faced with His most important task, His strength was actually counterproductive. So instead He became weak, and in weakness did what could never have been done through strength.

And I'm still on crutches for another day at least. I'm not sure if what I felt this morning was progress or just the pain killers taking longer than usual to wear off. The knee brace and crutches have definitely helped prevent new pain. How much they have helped heal the old pain remains to be seen.

Sermon Up

"That the Scripture Might Be Fulfilled" -- John 19:28-30

Premise -- You don't get to customize Jesus to meet your expectations. The Jesus you have is the Jesus you get. You change for Him; He doesn't change for you.

Help Wanted

Blogosphere, we need your help.

We'd like to do a service project for the families of deployed soldiers this Christmas. What we need help with is compiling our list. We have the capacity to serve 20-30 families, so if you go to church with someone in this situation please e-mail us a name and address.

Also, we're making some progress getting our "E-Vangelism" program up and running. For this, we need both social butterflies and dorks, preferably if there are two who can work together as a team. Over the next few weeks I'll be putting together some basic messages we can send to folks just to keep in touch and provide basic information about the church. If you've got a talent for writing or editing, we can use your help, too.

E-mail pleasantgrove.ky@gmail.com if you can help us out.

Thanks.

Today's sermon -- "You Will Be With Me." Click on "List View" on the menu box; it'll be the fifth one down.

The invitation song is tacked onto the end, but only because I'm moving a bit slowly.

Thanks to Bryce & Justin for getting everything set up this morning.
