Greetings from your preacher,
This is the final week of preparing for our upcoming gospel meeting. Last week, we sent the flyers electronically to all the area congregations. And this week ,we have printed the hardcopies for distribution in our area. This Saturday, we will be handing them out to the businesses and those in the area. If you are able, please meet us at the building at 10 a. m. Saturday morning to help hand them out.
We are planning to have sweet bread and coffee after the gospel meeting on Friday night and Saturday night. And, we will have our fellowship meal, as usual, on Sunday after the bilingual worship., which will be the last day of our gospel meeting We already have enough volunteers and contributions for sweet bread on Friday. But, if you can help out with providing some sweet bread, or serving, or both, please let Diana know. I ask that each of you play a role in being involved in this gospel meeting, and I pray that God will give the increase.
Thanks to those here, and at Bridge Avenue church of Christ, who helped unload our moving truck on Saturday. You were a tremendous help
This past Tuesday, we had a very enjoyable fellowship and a most rewarding Bible study. I encourage everyone to try to be a part of this time together each month. Note: Next month, it will be on the second Tuesday of April, because Diana and I will be at the Memphis School of Preaching (MSOP) lectures on the first Tuesday.
I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday as we assemble to worship God and edify each other. The morning Bible study is at 10 a.m., followed by the sermon at 10:45 a.m. titled FOLLOWING GOD.
Your preacher,
Roger
PRAISEWORTHY KIDS
This past Sunday in the morning Bible study for children, Araiza, Benny and Jayden practiced singing Be Careful Little Eyes What You See, and the Lord's Model Prayer. They considered what the first day of the week is for, how God sees when they make good decisions or bad ones, and how great God is. They also reviewed the creation and the three persons of the Godhead.
Please continue to pray for the children, that they might grow up to be strong Christian men and women.
AN ARTICLE FROM A PREACHER: THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Robert Lupo
How good is our God? James 1:17 says,
- Every good and perfect gift is from above...
That means every blessing, every kindness and every mercy that we receive originates with our heavenly Father. The Lord has shaped the universe to our benefit. He
...formed the world to be inhabited...(Isa. 45:18),
...gave it to man. (Psa. 115:16),
...and gave us dominion over it. (Gen. 1:26-28).
He is impartial, providentially caring for the just and the unjust (Matt. 5:45). He especially cares for those He purchased in the church. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 9:8,
- And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
Above all, He demonstrated His goodness in the sacrifice of His only begotten Son (Rom. 5:8). With such a good God, it is right for us to praise Him. He alone deserves all of our heart and soul in declaring His goodness. To help us find the words to say, the Lord gave us the book of Psalms and many other praises throughout the Holy Scriptures. And when we put these words to tunes, we are able to declare our gratefulness with one another in beautiful harmonies.
Every now and then, a song is written that perfectly expresses how we feel about our God. [As we can sing in] the song, The Goodness Of God. The first verse declares,
- I love You, Lord. Oh, Your mercy never fails me.
This concept comes right from Lamentations 3:22.
- Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.
This tells of the great faithfulness of God to love and forgive His children. In the chorus, we sing,
- All my life You have been faithful. All my life You have been so, so good!
This speaks of how we know the Lord's character. My life is all the evidence I need that God never stops being good.
- Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. (Psalm 107:1).
Then, the chorus ends by proclaiming,
- With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God.
This expresses our commitment to giving our all to praise the Lord, just like David declared in Psalm 103:1-2,
- Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
I hope you have been enjoying learning this song that does such a great job reminding us of all the qualities that make our God so good. The Lord is truly worthy of our praise. Let us never fail to recognize all that He has done (and continues to do) for us and to sing His praises with all of our heart, soul and strength.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matt. 28:18-20)
