Today’s Scripture Reading
Isaiah 16 – Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela, by way of the desert, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
Scripture of the Week
Build a strong foundation for how a follower of Christ should think and respond based on the Word of God. Read over the following verse at least once a day for the next week:
John 14:2-3 – In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Sermon Text
The Way We Talk
Colossians 4:7-18 – Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts…
Key Point: Tychicus – The man with a servant’s heart- Acts 20:4, Titus 3:13, 2 Timothy 4:12, Colossians 4:7; Onesimus – The man with a sinful past- Philemon 10-17; Aristarchus – The man with a sympatheric heart- Acts 19:19, 20:4, 27:4; John Mark – The man with a surprising future- Acts 13, 15:37-39, 2 Timothy 4:11; Jesus Justus – The man with a strong commitment.
Prayer Focus
“It is God’s will, through his wonderful grace, that the prayers of his saints should be one great and principal means of carrying on the designs of Christ’s kingdom in the world. When God has something very great to accomplish for his church, ‘tis his will that there should precede it the extraordinary prayers of his people.”
Jonathan Edwards

Operation Christmas Child
Samaritan’s Purse encourages OCC shoebox donors to include a personal note in each shoebox gift to encourage the recipient child in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
This is an all-church project – even if you’re unable to help pack the boxes, we welcome all notes – we need over 200.
You may enclose a thoughtful note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family. If you include your name and an address, the child may be able to write back. You may use your name, c/o the church address if you would like.
Blank cards are available in the foyer – if you use an envelope, please do not seal it, as everything must be checked at the processing center. Thank you!
