Getting Wisdom Wisdom is something everyone would like to have but few possess. That is partly true because it involves hard work and learning from our mistakes. Still, it is a worthy goal. There are some steps we can take to begin getting wisdom. Those who would have wisdom must seek it through prayer. “ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5; Psalm 119:18). Most of us understand that asking God for food does not eliminate the need for work (Matthew 6:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:10). Neither does asking God for wisdom eliminate the need for work. Two things are included in that work. First, go to the source to have wisdom. The wise man spoke about the search for wisdom, likening it to the search for treasure. He pointed to its source when he said, “For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:3-6). The Psalmist declared, “You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me” (Psalm 119:98). Second, recognize wisdom is acquired through self-exertion in the form of study. The wise man instructed his son, “So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding” (Proverbs 2:2). The blessed man is the one whose “delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:1-2). Paul told Timothy to “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). Resolve today to get wisdom. Pray about it. Go to God, not men, to find it. Make reading and thinking on the Bible a daily habit. Gary C. Hampton

Worship Involvement and Men to Serve
We wanted to update the congregation about some changes that we have made for the worship
involvement and the men to serve list.

Communion Distribution – In place of men serving on the table we are asking those listed to distribute communion to arrive early to Bible class to help with distribution before class and then again before morning worship. Attendance Counters – Please count Sunday morning Bible class and Sunday morning worship. The clipboard for classes is located in the library.
New Involvement Forms
We are currently updating all of our member information in the system. We are asking all members to update their involvement form or log in to Realm and make sure your involvement and contact information is up to date.
