work that the Lord still has for us to do.

Please let your friends know about this special day in the Lords house as we celebrate together the

goodness of God.

A True Friend!

“A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” —

Proverbs 18:24

Friends come and go with the passing of time. Some friends are lifelong; others are friends only for a season. Some friends will always hold a special place in our hearts even though their love for us may have changed or diminished. Each of us has experienced friendships

that fall into at least one, or perhaps all, of these categories.

When we consider our relationships with others, we would do well to ask, “What kind of friend am I?” Am I a fair weather friend who will be there for someone else only when it is convenient for me, or am I a true friend who is sincerely interested in the well being of another individual, regardless of the time and effort it costs me to invest in and nurture that friendship?

If we are honest, most of us would admit to being disappointed by friends at one time or another. At times, we ourselves have been guilty of the same offense.

Earthly friendships are complicated because human beings are complicated, imperfect creatures. Nonetheless, beyond the best of our earthly temporal friendships, there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother, and his name is Jesus.

Imagine how powerful this great truth really is. The Creator and Lord of the entire universe calls Himself our friend and call us to be friends with Him!

Jesus is a faithful, kind, and loving friend. He sees us just as we are and loves us, warts and all. When I can’t call on anyone else, I know that I can call on him. I know that he will never, ever stop being my friend and that he will always be with me. His Word assures me of that. Jesus has loved me with an everlasting love that is not dependent on my employment, my financial status, my outer beauty, my sense of humor, or my availability to provide a service or favor.

If my circumstances change, Jesus remains faithful, true, and constant. Never too busy for one of his own, he talks to me and is always glad to hear my voice.

What a friend we have in Jesus! Oh, that we would be more like him in our own friendships!

On the grace journey together with you, Lynwood

God's Prescription for Good Health

"Keep my commands in your heart, for they will

prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity." Proverbs 3:1-2

If I had a pill that promised to add years to your life, you'd probably pay a lot of money for it. But what if I told you that, as a Christian, you already have the key to a long life and that it's free?

God has given all of the principles for health management in his Word, the Bible. The Bible is the owner's manual for your body. As David says, "You made my body, Lord; now give me sense to heed your laws" (Psalm 119:73 LB). And in Deuteronomy, it says, "These instructions are not mere words – they are your life! By obeying them you will enjoy a long life in the land..." (Deuteronomy 32:47 NLT). God says, "If you do what I tell you to do with your health, you will enjoy a long life." Proverbs 3:1 says, "Keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life." What are some of those commands?

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your

barns will be filled to overflowing..." (Proverbs 3:5-10 NIV). These verses highlight some factors that you probably don't think about but that will keep you healthy: tranquility, trust in God, integrity, humility, and generosity. These things will cause your health to be better, because your physical health is influenced by your spiritual health. The secret is to take note of them on a daily basis! Take some time to meditate on Proverbs 3:1-10 and ask God to show you ways you can grow in tranquility, trust, integrity, humility, and generosity.

Remember… “The power of life and death are in the tongue” Proverbs 18:21!

Are You Ready For Bigger Things?

“You... enlarged me when I was in distress.” – Psalms 4:1 (Amplified Bible)

Did you know that the hermit crab looks for a shell that fits him, and then lives in it until he outgrows it? At that point he has to scurry along the ocean floor and find a bigger one; it’s a process that repeats itself throughout his entire life. Are you clinging to something that no longer fits you, just because it’s easy and familiar? David said, “You... freed me

when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress.” To develop and grow spiritually you must be willing to move out of your comfort zone and deal with a little ‘distress.’ What worked for you yesterday may not work today. Maybe it’s a job you’ve outgrown, a relationship you need to re-examine or a behavior you need to change. Regardless of what it is, never become so ‘settled’ that you can’t let go and move on when you need to. Patience and persistence are admirable, but they won’t work in situations you’ve outgrown. Instead of hanging in and trying harder, at certain points you have to stop and ask yourself, “Is this situation good for me?” When God says it’s time to move on, it’s because there’s another shell out there that will fit you even better. But you can’t take occupancy until you vacate the old one. So how about it - are you ready for bigger things?

Shipwreck From Within Victor Hugo, who is famous for his novel the Hunch-back of Notre Dame, also wrote a story called “Ninety-Three.” It tells of a ship caught in a dangerous storm on the high seas. At the height of the storm, the frightened sailors heard a terrible crashing noise below the deck. They knew at once that this new noise came from a cannon, part of the ship’s cargo, that had broken loose. It was moving back and forth with the swaying of the ship, crashing into the side of the ship with terrible im-pact. Knowing that it could cause the ship to sink, two brave sailors volunteered to make the dangerous attempt to retie the loose cannon. They knew the danger of a shipwreck from the [loose] cannon was greater than the fury of the storm. Life’s certainly like that. Not always, but more often than not, it isn’t the storms without that cause us the most problems, but the storms that rage within us, such as a spirit of bitterness, jealousy, pride, and greed. Other “loose cannons” are unresolved hurt, anger, a lack of forgiveness, guilt, lust, and so on. These, if not confronted and resolved, can readily cause shipwreck of our relations, our faith, or even our life.

Our Exciting New 4 Week Sermon Series!

In many ways, hymns are the oral history of our faith. Like the Psalms in Scripture, they are passed from generation to generation and sung

in cathedrals, chapels, or around a family piano. “How Sweet the Sound,” our new four-week series, delves into

some classic hymns to explore their meaning, breathing new life into their melodies to illuminate the hope they have for us today.

God is doing some exciting things

through the people of God at

HBC…

Please remember your

commitments and giving and be

part of the

miracle!
