BULLETIN FOR SUNDAY DECEMBER 14, 2014

Welcome to the FEA worship experience. May God minister to you as we worship Him together today.

Most of the news we hear concerning Arabs and Jews is bad most of the time. However A new generation of Arab and Jewish who are Christians met together very recently to strategize on how to win Israel for Jesus. Two hundred and sixty Messianic Jewish and Arab pastors, youth leaders, evangelists, Bible-school teachers and ministry leaders gathered for a three-day council to discuss, study, pray and work together to present the word of God effectively to Arabs and Jews throughout the whole Land of Israel.

These seasoned men and women of faith embody decades of labor proclaiming the Gospel to local Arabs and Jews. Most have given up everything to preach Messiah to their unbelieving Muslim and Jewish families and friends. Despised because of their faith, they have lost jobs, suffered rejection and endured multiple other hardships, yet their passion to bring the Gospel to their people remains fervent. “We will keep preaching and teaching the Word of God until it changes the people of Israel,” declared one leading pastor.

“We must be willing to suffer for the sake of the gospel and keep going no matter what happens. God will accomplish His will through the power of His word.”

The cowardly acts of terror and violence still raging in Jerusalem only serves to move them to stand even stronger together and compels them to more boldly declare the life-giving Word of God to both Muslim and Jew.

Let us keep these brethren in our prayers that the unity among them will continue and that they will succeed in their efforts to present Jesus to both Arabs and Jews.

PAY IT BACKWARD

Would you pay the bill for the people in the car behind you at a fast-food drive through—even if you didn’t know them?
that was the challenge given by a local Christian radio station to change their community. it was called “The Drive-Thru Difference.” the goal was to do a Christ-like act of kindness for people who didn’t expect it and to leave a note saying you did it because of your love for Christ.

Why do this? Why spend money for someone else’s food—especially someone we don’t know and who may be hostile to the faith? Why give without any hope of return? It sounds countercultural, but the idea has strong biblical basis.

Notice what Jesus said as He addressed a large crowd: “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who love you, what credit is that to you?” (Luke 6:32-33). Clearly, Jesus wants us to do good to people who can in no way pay us back.

Whether we’re paying someone’s bill at Taco Bell or dropping change into the Salvation Army kettle, our concern should be selfless giving—whether we get credit for it or not. In Jesus’ name, who can you bless today?—Dave Branon.

The motive of giving reveals the character of the giver more than the gift itself.
