A WARM WELCOME FOR ALL
Welcome to the Willette church of Christ, where you will find the Bible as our only rule for faith and practice.We seek to speak where the Bible speaks and to be silent where the Bible is silent. We minister to Macon Co. and surrounding area, and our primary Mission work is the India Mission directed by Jack Honeycutt and Zack Holmes.
One of the most frustrating and difficult matters to deal with when it comes to this latest generation of men deals with RESPONSIBILITY. You are not the product of your family genetics or of your environment. You are responsible for your own choices. We are going to see in the Bible this morning just what God thinks about people taking personal responsibility for their actions. Tonight, we are going to deal with the Sermon on the Mount. This will be a rather “technical” sermon so the outline and other study aids will be posted on the Sermon for Today tab on our church website. We are a Bible centered, mission minded, and family oriented church.Thank you for coming, and please return at every opportunity.

Tidings from Timothy
The Hatton Half: How to define Biblical Inspiration
How can one prove the Bible is truly the inspired word of God? One premise which must receive
establishment is that the Bible is the only source which begs consultation in this matter. The Bible itself
contains many proofs for its own inspiration, which the writer aims to address at later points. The first task
at hand is defining exactly what inspiration is. The first of many answers coming from the Bible itself states
the following: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto
all good works” (2 Tim. 3:16-17 KJV). The phrase “inspiration of God” is one word in the Greek language.
The word is theopneustos, which according to Thayer manifests the idea of the Bible‟s being “inspired of
God” (Thayer 287). Vine details the word in the following manner: “theopneustos (θεόπνευστος, 2315),
„inspired of God‟ (Theos, „God,‟ pneo, „to breathe‟) is used in 2 Timothy 3:16, of the Scriptures as distinct
from non-inspired writings” (328). It is upon this attribute which Christians reliance upon the Bible.
Another definition for inspiration, found in the Bible itself, is at 2 Peter 1:20-21. Verse twenty
states the Bible‟s possessing no origination from the minds of men. Leon Stancliff said “in the long ago
Nehemiah built a pulpit. From that pulpit this man of God read the law of God, and then gave the sense
thereof. He was interpreting the Word of God, but he was not giving his own interpretation (Neh. 8:8)”
(153).Verse twenty-one tells us how the matters contained within the Bible came to fruition. Again the
point is emphasized about the prophecy‟s not originating from the mind of men. Peter described the process
as “holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Pet. 1:21)
Those attending:Thank you for coming today. If you would like, there are some extra masks available, and hand sanitizer is in many places. Those who would like to are encouraged to help us sanitize between the services. Wednesday night: I appreciate very much the lesson brought by brother Honeycutt last Wednesday. You are in for a treat this Wednesday as well as brother Holmes continues our study of the Home. I was away this past Wednesday at Crossville for their Summer Series. It went well. Like with us, some there have the virus but it is not “spreading” from church so all is going as well as possible and they were very nice to us. On a scheduling note, I will not be having a Meeting this fall due to you know what. I don’t think Jack has any left on the schedule for this month. When we get word of brethren doing more than just Summer Series, we will let you know.
Tonight: Different format for tonight. I have been giving simple Bible stories but tonight will definitely be an “adult” lesson. If you would like me to occasionally revisit some simple Bible stories on Sunday night then just let me know. I can “preach” them as well at “teach” them like in a Bible Study.
Important notice on Benevolence: The Benevolent Building is reopening on Tuesday. Spread the word! BTW, there will be a sign out front mandating masks for the “shoppers” that come in Tuesday. Dean will monitor the crowd size.
Rate Yourself
Let's be sure we are on the right track...
1) I don't want to be so CRITICAL that I see a person's weak points before I do their good points. 2) I don't want to be so CHILDISH that everyone has to handle me with caution to keep me from getting my feelings hurt. 3) I don't want to be so involved with SELF that I am not considerate of others. 4) I don't want to be so SENSITIVE that I can make myself miserable by taking in a personal way everything that is said by others. 5) I want to be sure that I MAKE EVERY EFFORT to correct any hurt that I have inflicted on another. 6) I don't want to REPEAT that which should be kept secret and then explain myself saying, "But it's the truth." 7) I want to be completely TRUSTWORTHY and merit the confidence of those with whom I associate. 8) I want to FOLLOW the things that make for peace and avoid the things that bring about strife. If I have the right attitude about these matters I will thank God, and if I don't I will resolve to make whatever changes that need to be made. --copied from Hartsville Church of Christ bulletin
