Welcome! We are glad youre here! We invite you to seek out the folks wearing the Ask Me badge. Through them you will find information about the ministries of Salem Heights Church and how to become involved. Please fill out a Visitor Card and drop it in one of the offering boxes as you leave or scan this code to go directly to our website and fill out a visitor card. We have an excellent nursery and programs for children newborn through high school. Any of the ushers will be happy to direct you to the proper classroom. If you feel more comfortable having your infant with you during the service, the last row in the Auditorium will be reserved for parents with small children. There is a private room for nursing mothers across the hall from the Auditorium with a rocking chair, changing table and portable crib. For your convenience, it also includes a monitor to enable you to still hear and view the service.

Our Purpose...

To reach people with the love of Jesus Christ, provide a safe and

supportive environment, proclaim the standards of Gods truth,

duplicate the Christian life in others, and celebrate the majesty

and works of Our Great God.

Giving Update

THE MINISTRY OF SALEM HEIGHTS CHURCH The ministry of Salem Heights Church is funded entirely by the generous giving of Gods people. You will notice that we do not pass the offering plate; however, there are offering boxes in the back of the auditorium. We have done this so no one gives out of compulsion. We believe from the Word of God that the Spirit of God will lead people towards giving back to God of their first fruits. ...God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:7) and we know He blesses those who take His Word seriously in every regard. Thank you for prayerfully supporting Salem Heights financially as we desire to reach the lost and disciple the Saints.

(Prayerfully consider what the Lord would have you do.)

LUKE Part 26

Luke 6:12-16

The Masters Men Presented by

Pastor Justin Greene

May 10, 2015

The Shaping of a Disciple

When God wants to drill a man,

And thrill a man, and skill a man,

When God wants to mold a man

To play for Him the noblest part,

When He yearns with all His heart

To build so great and bold a man

That all the world shall be amazed,

Then watch Gods methods, watch His ways!

How He ruthlessly perfects

Whom He royally elects;

How He hammers him and hurts him

And with mighty blows converts him,

Making shapes and forms which only

God Himself can understand,

Even while His man is crying,

Lifting a beseeching hand...

Yet God bends but never breaks

When mans good He undertakes;

When He uses whom He chooses,

And with every purpose fuses

Man to act, and act to man,

As it was when He began,

When God tries His splendor out,

Man will know what Hes about!

~ Dale Martin Stone, Sourcebook of Poetry

A PAUSE IN THE STORY

THE MASTERS MEN

These men were made like us.

Jesus prayed all night ... these were the men given to

Him.

This was not a lottery.

This was not a popularity contest.

This was not a guarantee of success.

They would be the foundation of the future!

These men were measured like us.

What drives the change in your life?

What does your life currently say that you value?

Will your death be your undoing, or will it make a

declaration?
