Church of Christ

 Mission Driven Disciples, Serving In Love.

On September 29th, Bryan Johnston started a series of lessons " What is the Word of God?" The series will be an inspiring in-depth study of the spoken, written, inspired, living life of God (Romans 10:17) If we are to be Bible-believing, Bible-teaching, and Bible-living people of God we need to be Bible hearers, readers, and doers. We need to value and live by the words of God through Christ inspired by the Holy Spirit. This first lesson begins a series of lessons on The Word of God about the Word of God: What is it? What do we do with it? What do we believe about it? How do we understand it? How do we read it?" It was a highly inspirational message and I encourage everyone to watch or listen to it - it was FANTASTIC!! You can watch it here from our collection under "Sermon Downloads" or can click this shortcut http://www.is.gd/nbcoc to go to ourYouTube channel. Be sure to click "LIVE" when you get there which refers to anything that was recorded "LIVE."

ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE IS INVITED TO ATTEND OR WATCH ONLINE:  The Church of Christ at 2761 Broadway in North Bend, Oregon invites everyone to  our worship services EVERY Sunday at 10:30 AM Pacific Time. We also live-stream to YouTube (see links under "Read More below"). This week's lesson by Bryan Johnston for October 13th, 2024:  Is  titled, "

We have no book but the Bible and no creed but Christ. We are to read the Bible with Christ to move the gospel forward in our ways and in our time. We must seek wisdom from the spirit to read with an informed understanding of Christ and a respect of our fore fathers and mothers of our tradition, teaching, and practices of the ways of God. For this is how we know God and make him known.

 "Hacksaw Ridge" - By Joe  Maxwell

    A brave conscientious objector medic saved many of his wounded co mrades even though his own life was in danger (that's what medics do).He kept  lowering each man to safety saying, "Just one more."

    I realated to him, for I too was a CO Medic although I was not harassed to the exten that he was. For his bravery, he was awarded the Medal of  Honor. Just one more: I do not pretend to know the m ind of God, but I do know he has infinite patience.

    No one knows when Christ is coming, only God. I do wonder, as He looks down on our evil Earth, how long He will be patient. Does He say, "Just one more soul... just one more soul!"

DID YOU NOTICE THE "FORUMS" LINK? It's at the top of the page where you can go to read lots of devotional and other encouraging information. Although some of the articles are quite old, their value is priceless, judging by the  fact that many have been read 5,000-10,000 times! The newest Forum is "DEVOTIONALS FROM ALL OVER" where I am collecting devotionals written by local people (and others) to encourage us in our walk with God. If you would like to become a contributor to the Forums, you can either request "active membership" in the website or just send them to me. We would love to have your contributions. The only reason regular membership has been disabled is to control spamming. Besides, everything is free access anyway.
