Sunday Reflection - November 3, 2016

SOME GREAT THINGS HAPPENING AT DEER FLAT
THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS!

I’ll get right to it…

#1. THIS SUNDAY – We’re going to take some time to honor those who have served our Nation and who provided us the freedoms that we enjoy, including the ability to gather and worship without worry. Veterans are everywhere; we stand behind them in the grocery store line, sit next to them in the waiting room and worship beside them in church every week. Their fraternity is made up of courage, tenacity, and strength. Across the years of being involved in war, they have reflected heights of human charity; standing in the line of fire for one another, risking their lives for civilians and comrades alike.

There is a very serious crisis happening among our Veterans. 22 Veterans a day are taking their lives. That’s 1 every 65 minutes, a rate higher than any other recorded in our nation's history. Suicide is currently the leading cause of death among our troops, those men and women we ask God to bless. We get a chance to hear some sharing from the heart from several of our Deer Flat Vets. This will be a God honoring morning and one that you’ll feel so good about inviting a friend, especially if they have served our country.

#2. NEXT SUNDAY: NOVEMBER 13 – Special Guest David Dolan will be speaking both hours. You’re going to love his heart for God and his insights regarding the future. David is an accomplished journalist who served as the CBS News correspondent in Jerusalem, reported for Moody Broadcasting, was a regular with Zola Levitt and has authored several books. Two things: 1) Don’t Miss This!  2) Bring a Friend!

#3. AN HOUR OF PRAYER FOR OUR NATION – I’m asking you to join me at 5 pm this Sunday for an hour of intercession on behalf of our upcoming election and this really important decision. This hour will go by fast. No boredom. Your investment in seeking God’s Will for our Nation will make a difference. I hope you’ll carve out the time for this time of prayer. I know that God will hear us!

#4. SLEEP A LITTLE LONGER – Yep, it’s Time Change Sunday. Turn that clock back an hour and enjoy that extended sleep. Here’s what will happen – 1) You’ll be in a better mood and 2) You’ll stay awake for the whole service!
I can’t wait to see you this Lord’s Day. Come expecting a fresh encounter with the Living God! I’m thanking God for you today. I LOVE MY CHURCH!

Loving You and Loving Him,

Pastor D
