From Your Pastor
I hope you are looking forward to 2014. We should pause and give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and kindness throughout 2013. A new year brings excitement as we think about what God has in store for us! I know I have been praying to laborers for His harvest (especially at 10:02 each day) and I am expecting to see many harvest this year. That is exciting!!!!
The new year also provides us with an opportunities to evaluate our spiritual growth. Are we changing and growing in Christlikeness? A new year provides us with an opportunity to evaluate the stewardship of our time, resources, and spiritual gifts. This Sunday I plan to be preaching from Matthew 25: 14-30 regarding our return on the Lord’s investment in our lives. Hopefully, we were good stewards of His blessings in our lives.
Did you get to know Jesus a little better in 2013? Did you serve the Lord well last year? Did you lead anybody else to faith in Christ? Did you invest in your marriage and family? Did you give faithfully to the Lord’s work in and through your church? Sometimes we don’t like the answer to the questions when we look back but thankfully, God gives us a new day and a new year.

MAKING DISCIPLES… (Questions kids ask)
Question: Were there people alive when the dinosaurs roamed the earth?
Answer: And God made the beasts of the earth according to its kind… And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness,” … The God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So evening and the morning were the sixth day (Genesis 1:25, 26, 31).
Dinosaurs and people living together? That is really hard to imagine. Actually, it is not hard to imagine if we are Christians who believe God’s Word. Look at our Bible verse. God’s Word tells us that dinosaurs (beasts of the earth) and man (Adam and Eve) were actually made on the very same 24-hour day. They were all created on Day 6 of Creation Week. And, it is true that dinosaurs are older than people—but by only a few hours, not millions of years! So, what is the answer to your question? Yes! Dinosaurs lived with people—before the Flood, on Noah’s ark with Noah and his family, and after the Flood. God’s Word also describes what I believe was a dinosaur. In the book of Job, the animal called Behemoth is described, and it sure seems to be a unique, dinosaur-like animal (like a large Sauropod), living right there with Job and the people of that time!
