Our work continued this week, as we have had some very good visits and productive bible studies. I am thankful for the opportunity we have to teach God's word, and help others come to have an understanding of God's word, so that they may inherit eternal life. I appreciate everyone's prayers and assistance, in this most important work; that God has given to us.
This Sunday, is our congregational meeting. I will keep it as brief as possible. But, I do ask that everyone participate in this meeting.
And, starting Sunday we also have another person in the congregation stepping up to help in the work here. Isabel Rivera will share the responsibility of teaching the children of the English services with Diana. Linda Rosas will interpret for her, and the children. Isabel will teach the first Sundays of each Month. Diana will teach the second Sundays. The teachers of the Spanish services will share teaching the third/bilingual Sundays. Isabel and Diana will split the remaining 4th and 5th Sundays between them. Thank you, Isabel and Linda!
This coming Tuesday night is the first Tuesday of the month, which means it is fellowship and Bible study night for the English services. Please plan to join us at 6:30 p.m. for a light meal of sandwiches and chips, and whatever finger foods you might want to share. And then, plan to stay for the Bible study immediately following the meal.
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 THE PROMISES OF THE SAVIOR at 10:45 a.m. Thank you.
Your preacher,
Roger
PRAISEWORTHY KIDS
This past Sunday in the children's morning Bible study, Gus, Max, Marcus, Jayden, Leia, and Zoe all continued studying the Lord's model prayer. They all opened their Bibles, and found Matthew 9:7. Max helped Marcus to find the page, and then Max read the verse aloud. The children considered what an important and serious commitment it is to follow Jesus, but that there is only His way and the way that leads to destruction. They also considered the significance of praying in Jesus' name, or by His authority.
Please continue to pray for the children, that they might grow up to be strong Christian men and women.
AN ARTICLE FROM A PREACHER: DOES TRUTH MATTER?
Jay Launius
What is truth, and can we really know if there is an absolute truth? Although this is not a new question, over the past few years there has been a debate as to whether there is anything that is absolute. Absolute truths are those things, beliefs, or statements which cannot be changed.
For instance, there are no square circles, time always moves forward, or all people die. Relative truths are those things which are subjective, conditional, and can change over time. The problem occurs when the lines between absolute and relative truths become blurred, or the rules of relative truth are applied to the absolutes.
We see this happen especially when concerning moral topics such as the belief in God, the abortion debate, and issues concerning gender. However, these problems are easily solved by the person of faith. Believers take it on faith that there is one God and one Christ with unchanging natures. (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8)
They believe in the true and infallible word of God (John 17:17).
Within the pages of the Scriptures, Christians find the absolute moral standard of living, and the undeniable and undebatable code of conduct that will be used to judge all people. (John 12:48)
These are the absolute truths that can set people free from sin and spiritual death, (John 8:32) leading to an eternal existence, literally immortality in the presence of God and Jesus Christ. (Rom. 6:23; 1 Cor. 15:54; 1 John 2:17)
We are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. - (1 John 5:20b)

LA MISMA MENSAJE EN ESPANOL:
Saludos de tu predicador,
Nuestro trabajo continuo esta semana, ya que hemos tenido algunas visitas muy buenas y estudios bíblicos productivos. Estoy agradecido por la oportunidad que tenemos de ensenar la palabra de Dios y ayudar a otros a comprender la palabra de Dios, para que puedan heredar la vida eterna. Agradezco las oraciones y la ayuda de todos, en este trabajo tan importante; que Dios nos ha dado.
Este domingo es nuestra reunion congregacional. Lo mantendre lo mas breve posible. Pero pido que todos participen en esta reunion.

Por favor, planea unirte a nosotros a las 6:30 p.m. para una comida ligera de sandwiches y papas fritas, y cualquier bocadillo que quieras compartir. Y luego, planea quedarte para el estudio biblico inmediatamente despues de la comida.
Espero verlos a todos el domingo mientras nos reunimos para adorar a Dios y edificarnos unos a otros. El estudio bíblico de la manana es a las 10 a.m., seguido del sermon a las 10:45 a.m. titulado LAS PROMESAS DEL SALVADOR a las 10:45 a.m. Gracias.

NINOS DIGNOS DE ELOGIOS
El domingo pasado, en el estudio biblico matutino de los ninos, Gus, Max, Marcus, Jayden, Leia y Zoe continuaron estudiando la oracion modelo del Senor. Todos abrieron sus Biblias y encontraron a Mateo 9:7. Max ayudo a Marcus a encontrar la pagina, y luego Max leyo el verso en voz alta. Los ninos consideraron el compromiso importante y serio que es seguir a Jesus, pero que solo hay Su camino y el camino que conduce a la destruccion. Tambien consideraron el significado de orar en el nombre de Jesus, o por Su autoridad.
Por favor, continuen orando por los ninos, para que puedan crecer y convertirse en hombres y mujeres cristianos fuertes.
UN ARTICULO DE UN PREDICADOR: IMPORTA LA VERDAD?
Jay Launius
Que es la verdad, y realmente podemos saber si hay una verdad absoluta? Aunque esta no es una pregunta nueva, en los ultimos anos ha habido un debate sobre si hay algo que sea absoluto. Las verdades absolutas son aquellas cosas, creencias o declaraciones que no se pueden cambiar.
Por ejemplo, no hay circulos cuadrados, el tiempo siempre avanza, o todas las personas mueren. Las verdades relativas son aquellas cosas que son subjetivas, condicionales y pueden cambiar con el tiempo. El problema ocurre cuando las lineas entre las verdades absolutas y relativas se vuelven borrosas, o las reglas de la verdad relativa se aplican a los absolutos.
Vemos que esto sucede especialmente cuando se trata de temas morales como la creencia en Dios, el debate sobre el aborto y cuestiones relacionadas con el genero. Sin embargo, estos problemas son facilmente resueltos por la persona de fe. Los creyentes toman por fe que hay un Dios y un Cristo con naturalezas inmutables. (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8)
Ellos creen en la verdadera e infalible palabra de Dios (Juan 17:17).
Dentro de las paginas de las Escrituras, los cristianos encuentran el nivel de vida moral absoluto, y el innegable e indiscutible codigo de conducta que se utilizará para juzgar a todas las personas. (Juan 12:48)
Estas son las verdades absolutas que pueden liberar a las personas del pecado y la muerte espiritual, (Juan 8:32) que conducen a una existencia eterna, literalmente la inmortalidad en presencia de Dios y Jesucristo. (Roma. 6:23; 1 Cor. 15:54; 1 Juan 2:17)
Estamos en Aquel que es verdadero, en Su Hijo Jesucristo. Este es el verdadero Dios y la vida eterna. - (1 Juan 5:20b)
