Money Saving Idea

I have saved alot of money by buying whole chickens, roasts, hams, turkeys etc. cooking them and slicing them for lunch meat. When you buy chicken in the deli precooked and sliced it can cost 7-9 dollars a pound when you buy a whole chicken it is so much cheaper per pound. For example this week in the flyer you can buy a whole chicken for $5.99 each.

After the holidays I bought a turkey for $.97 a pound it was a 20 lb. turkey. Deli turkey costs $7-$9 a pound. To have the same amount of meat would have cost at least $140...wow....$20 or $140 just to cook and slice it myself.

After I slice it I put it in freezer bags in small portions which I can take out as I need to. Really easy...better to pay myself than the grocery store!

Happy Friday!
Blessings,

Hell

We were talking baout hell at the study yesterday. Here is an article about it that may help explain exactly what hell is.

I looked for books about hell but there are just so many it may be best to ask at the Christian book store for one they reccomend especially to explain it to an unbeliever.

Here is a link to questions and answers about life after death. I did not read all these but I have used this site before for other things and agreed with them.

As we have been learning this past couple of weeks it is very important to verify the things you hear and read by making sure they line up with what the Bible says.

Happy Thursday!

Bible Study

This week we looked at Matthew 7. Here is the link for the commentary.

Here are the questions....

1) Have you ever judged someone and then found out you were wrong? (God is the only one who knows someone's heart. We have a limited view.

2) Have you ever been wrongfully judged? How did you feel?

3) Have you ever judged someone for something you do too?

4) Have you ever judged someone and then later found yourself doing the same thing?

5) Do you judge people you dislike or who rub you the wrong way harsher than those you like? Why?

6) Are you aware of any planks in your eye?

7) How do you feel and respond when someone tries to help you get the speck out of your eye?

8) How should we respond?

9) Have you ever prayed for something and then later been happy you didn't get it?

10) Why do you suppose so many are led astray by false prophets? (Don't know the truth about what the Bible says, They are charming, They like them, Don't look into their fruit.....)

11) Have you ever examined the fruit your life bears? what kind is it?

12) We tend to act one way but our true foundation is revealed int he storm. Do you react differently when things get tough?

Have a wonderful day!

You have to watch this... what a wonderful song.

Sermon Notes

This week we had a guest speaker Serge Lemee the WOL Francophone Ministries Projest Coordinator. It was wonderful to hear what the Lord is doing around the world in french speaking countries - Awesome!

He spoke on encouragement from 2 Cor. 4.
- 2 Cor. 4:1-6 Light out of darkness.
- 2 Cor.4:1-8 Paul was discouraged. Discouragement can come to us.
- Like the sun which is too much for us to directly at but it shines through stained glass and is so beautiful, it is like that when God shines through us and others get it and are blessed.
- God is the light in the darkness. Sometimes stained glass is dirty or broken but God can still use it. We can still be a blessing to others.
- God permits discouragement. Spurgeon says his discouragement was so deep that he hoped no one would experience that depth.
- How can such a great preacher be discouraged?
- 2 Cor. 4:7-12 We are the earthen vessel. When we are discouraged we need to realize we are not the treasure we are the vessel that holds the treasure.
- We are like a cup from Tim Hortons, God is the hands that hold the cup. When we hold the cup we toss it out. It is not worth anything it is the treasure inside that makes it valuable.
- 4:13-18 Discouraged - we need to remember the light comes out of darkness. Jesus in our life is treasure not us. We need to look to that - not ourselves.
- We are encouraged by what God can do. We need to keep talking about God and what he does. Sharing the great news is the greatest encouragement.
- When God allows bad it is always for our good.
- To grow it hurts, but what great results.
- Prayer is the key. South Korean Christians go to church every morning to pray before work. 50 years ago zero Christian in South Korea today 40% of the country is Christian! They have the largest church in the world.
- Something is impossible? Yes it is! God can do it!

Have a wonderful day!

New Format

Just wanted to let you guys know that instead of the format I was using where each day has a theme I have decided that it will be easier (and more interesting *wink*) if I just post whatever and whenever. Also I will still be doing Flyer Fridays. ~smile~

Happy Wednesday!
