Bait of Satan thoughts....and Sunday Dec. 14 fellowship

I’d like for all of the singles to meet in the foyer of Billtown campus at 4:45pm on Sunday Dec. 14 and we will all walk in together as the SINGLES MINISTRY TEAM. We are going to make it really funny by carrying signs with our phone numbers on it…available for fellowship!!!!! (might as well have some fun with it) It is our church-wide christmas celebration with all ministries being introduced. Let’s all get together afterwards and go out for a light dinner, maybe at McAlisters. JOIN US FOR SOME FUN AND FELLOWSHIP THAT NIGHT.


Who Will Avenge ME?

Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord. Romans 12:19

Read pages 38-43 Bait of Satan
Page 196-197 devotion

Abishai was one of David’s friends. He tried to convince David that he had many good reasons to kill Saul while he had the chance. He felt that God had given him this opportunity. He said: “God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!”
However, David’s response to Abishai in I Samuel 26:9-11 was filled with God’s grace.

Consider this:
ANY SOWING OF DISCORD OR SEPARATION AMONG BRETHREN IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD! Do you agree?
John Bevere says: “Churches split, families divide, marriages shatter, and love dies, crushed by an onslaught of words launched in hurt and frustration. Friends, family and leaders offend us using words sharpened by bitterness and anger that aim a deadly blow.EVEN THOUGH THE INFORMATION MAY BE FACTUAL AND ACCURATE, OFTEN OUR MOTIVES ARE IMPURE. ANY SOWING OF DISCORD OR SEPARATION AMONG BRETHREN IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD (Prov. 6:16-19).

Ask God to teach you to humble yourself before those who offend you and to ask for forgiveness when you have been the offender.

I am praying that God will show us how to live a life free from the burden and consequences of holding onto offenses. During the upcoming season of prayer and fasting in January, let us really agree in prayer about this.

Your friend in Christ,
Becky

"Bait of Satan".... thoughts to consider this week

"WHEN REJECTED BY A FATHER"



Read pages 33-38 and pages 193-195 "Bait of Satan" by John Bevere

Read I Samuel 16-31.



Malachi 4:6 "And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the
earth with a curse."



John Bevere, in this section of his book, is referring to any leader God
puts over us when he speaks of "fathers" (not just biological fathers).
These are the people we trust to love, train, nurture, and care for us.

Think of the "fathers" in the past from whom you have experienced rejection:
Biological father, church staff, boss, close friend, stepfather, elder,
teacher, pastor, deacon, or leader.



Saul's rejection of David is one biblical example of a father's rejection.
(re-read the story)

As you read the story, write down the ways David could have been tempted to
take up an offense against Saul:

1.

2.

3.

Complete these sentences:

David treated Saul_________________________.

Instead of revenge, David _________________________.



Think about this: Saul enjoyed the success of David until he saw David's
success as a threat to him. See what insecurity does to your call as a
leader?!



Read I Samuel 24:11 and complete these sentences:

When someone attacks me, God wants me to _______________________________.

When someone rejects me, God wants me to
_________________________________________.



Consider: If your father figure or leader is doing something sinful and
wrong, instead of being offended, pray for that person. God will correct
him----that's His job, not yours. Remember, you are just called to serve
with a pure heart. Refuse to clutter up your own heart with the sin of
offense due to other people's insecurities.



Prayer: God, Help us to release to You our feelings of offense. We do not
want a cluttered heart that is not sensitive to your touch. We choose this
day to follow Your example in scripture as You lived the life of a servant
of God. We will choose to pray for those who have rejected us and pray for
your mercy to cover their lives. In Jesus' Name, Amen.



Let's grow in God together,

Becky





******ADDED EVENT:

(Join us Thursday night at 6:30 minors Lane for "Bait of Satan" source groupdiscussion. Topic this week: "When Rejected by a Father".

Thoughts from "The Bait of Satan" for Oct. 29

Thank you to all who have taken time to respond to last week's comments. We
also had a large group at our Source meeting this past Thursday. We will
meet again tomorrow night (Oct. 30) at 6:30 at Minor Lane in the Fellowship
Hall. NO SOURCE MEETING NEXT THURSDAY NOV. 6 due to Team Impact at Billtown
Campus at 6:30 that evening.

Please read pages 23-26 and Day 5 Devotions(p. 188-189) How could This
happen to Me?

Genesis 50:19-20 Joseph said to them."But as for you, you meant evil
against me; but God meant it for good."

The author, John Bevere, categorizes offended people in two groups: those
who have been genuinely mistreated, and those who think they have been
mistreated but actually were not. Our question to consider this week is:
Do you have the right to be offended when you have been genuinely
mistreated?

Please read Genesis 37 - 48 and evaluate Joseph's words and actions.
How did Joseph respond to each circumstance?
Did he become offended or did he forgive? Did he blame others for his
circumstances or did he trust God? Did he seek revenge or did he seek to be
reconciled?

How did Jesus respond to his abusers?

Did Joseph and Jesus have the right to be offended?

KEY: Satan hopes we will take his bait of offense so that he will have a
foothold into our lives.

If we don't take the bait, then Satan cannot touch us!

Ask God for the wisdom of Joseph to avoid taking offense and to trust Him
instead of blaming others or circumstances for difficulties in life.

We will consider next week the question: Is God really in Control?

Stay tuned here!

Praying for you,
Becky

******don't' forget Friday November 14 8:00pm - 11:00pm Singles Bowling Night. Mark your calendar and join us!

This week's thoughts from "The Bait of Satan"

I trust that you have picked up your copy of “The Bait of Satan” by John Bevere by now. They are carrying it in our EWPC Bookstores now, so get yours before they are all gone.

Study pages 16-21; Day 4 Walls of Protection p. 185-187

Walls of Protection:
Consider the parallels between Old Testament city walls and walls around our hearts.
Proverbs 18:19 A Brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, and contentions are like the bars of a castle.
We open our lives only to those we believe are on our side. These walls of protection can become a prison to us.
If we don’t risk being hurt, we cannot give unconditional love.
Unconditional love gives others the RIGHT to hurt us. Love does not seek its own.
Read 2 Corinthians 10:4-5…the stronghold of offense: “For the weapons of our warfare….”
We find it impossible to believe God when we continue filtering everything through past hurts, rejections, and experiences.
The love of God has become cold in our lives. We produce no real spiritual fruit.
Read the section on False Prophets in the last days 2Tim. 3:1-5; 4:3-4 (“…for men will be unforgiving…having a form of godliness but denying its power….” ) When we hold on to offense, we are denying that God can change us from being unforgiving to forgiving.
We are an information generation, but this can lead to a religious spirit if we refuse to repent of the sin of offense. It hides the truth and we spew out bitter waters.
Read Matt. 24:10 regarding Betrayal. Consider the progression of Offense, Betrayal, Hatred (I John 3:15)
Let’s live by these Laws of Love found in the following passages:
I Cor. 6:7, Matt. 5:44, Phil. 2:3

Key point to consider: WE MUST COME TO THE PLACE WHERE WE TRUST GOD—NOT OUR FLESH—TO PROTECT US FROM OFFENSE.
The author emphasizes that the sin of offense is serious. If it is not dealt with, offense will eventually lead to death. Let’s resist the temptation to build walls of offense so that God can bring great victory in our lives. These are truly the Last Days. Let’s ask God to clean out anything in our lives that keeps us focused inward instead of Kingdomward.

Reaching together for the prize of the High Calling in Christ Jesus,
Becky

Book Study Notes

REMEMBER the SINGLES SOURCE class each week at Minors Lane 6:30-7:30pm…We are studying “the Bait of Satan”.


Thought for this week from “The Bait Of Satan”:
Gal. 6:8-9 “For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

Read pages 13-16 “Bait of Satan” - assignment.

Rate your opinion on a scale from “Usually True” to “Seldom true” for these statements:

1. I offend easily.
2. Friends seem to offend easily.
3. People at work get offended easily.
4. Relatives get easily offended.
5. I expect much of others.
6. I am easily disappointed
7. I love conditionally.
8. I bless to be blessed.

In the last days many will be easily offended. If we walk in a selfish love—expecting others to meet our expectations for love—then we will be easily offended when they don’t respond as we desire. The more I expect, the greater the potential offense. We do not need to position ourselves for potential offenses in our lives. Ask God to replace your expectations of others with unconditional love for them.

Remember: Whenever you give love, you are sowing to the Spirit and will eventually reap a harvest of love in due season.

If you have not purchased the recommended book "the Bait of Satan" by John Bevere, they are carrying it in the Minors Lane and Billtown bookstores for around $13.00. Please get your copy this Sunday because they only ordered 10 copies for each location. They will order more, of course, if they need to. We certainly appreciate Kenny and Doe for taking care of us in this way.


I'll send the next devotional out Sunday. Look for it. We will meet for Thursday night Source group at 6:30pm this week...oct. 23.

Remember to join us for Bowling on Nov. 14 and our Christmas Party on Dec. 19.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Becky

Next Events and Great Bike Trip

We were certainly blessed with an absolutely beautiful day to ride our bikes this past Saturday. The dinner at Mark’s Feed Store was delicious and the fellowship was wonderful! Some of us extended the evening by going to a movie later on. “Fireproof” is a must-see for all Christians. It is a perfect movie to invite your unsaved friends to see with you. Thank God for this avenue to touch the world with the truth of God’s Word.

Here’s who came Last Saturday to one or more of our activities of the day:
Wanda, Natalie, Barb O., Bekah, Geneva, Linda, Rachel, Robin, Becky, Doris, Brenda, Rocky, Michelle, Roger, Tom F., Earl, Jeremy, Vance, Gregg, Tom H., Kathy, Jonah, Philip, David
…….thanks for joining us!

Directions to Oct 4th Bike Ride

We'll eat Mark's Feed Store at 1514 Bardstown Rd near the intersection of Bardstown and Eastern Parkway in the 2nd floor dining area immediately after around 6pm. Here are the meet up point maps.

Group Devotional and Oct 4th Bike Ride

We want to thank everyone who came out on an overcast evening to ride bikes with us and have dinner last Friday evening. We enjoyed a rain-free ride and a fun dinner with 22 of you. We all voted to do it again soon…before the temperatures get too cool. SO, we are meeting at CHEROKEE PARK at 3:00 SATURDAY OCTOBER 4 to ride bikes as far as we want, then have dinner at a designated restaurant on Frankfort Avenue around 5:00. We will be in touch with the details. Mark it on your calendars and don’t let anything stand in your way of joining us that day.


I feel impressed by the Holy Spirit to take you on a journey that I went on several years ago as I studied “The Bait of Satan” by John Bevere. This book revolutionized our choir and our church in Florida as we learned to live free from the deadly trap of OFFENSE. We will be going through this study in our Singles Source Group on Thursday nights at 6:30 in the Fellowship Hall at Minors Lane. Please come if you can. If not, follow with me as I email a focus thought and pages assigned to read each week beginning the last week of this month. You may email me back your thoughts and how your journey is going. Tom will also post these weekly updates on our website.

You may buy the book online or at Family Bookstores. The 10th anniversary Edition is the best because it includes a devotional supplement that is helpful.

YOU WILL NEVER REGRET THE STUDY OF THIS BOOK AND SPIRITUAL JOURNEY IT WILL TAKE YOU ON. YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

I’ve decided on King Pin Lanes at 9525 Taylorsville Rd. for our bowling location. Their number is 719-5464. They are 1 mile east of Hurstbourne Pkwy. They are not very busy on Friday evenings and their facility is one of the nicest in town. We can share the expense of renting lanes by the hour or bowl at a per person fee of $4.85 per game. Shoes are $3.75 We should arrive there around 8:30 – 8:45 if we leave Roger’s house around 8:20 or so.

Easiest directions: From the Gene Snyder, Go Bardstown Road south about 3 miles and look for the curve left in the road and the turning lane for Bardstown Bluff Road. There will be a little white church up on the left as you turn. Roger’s house is the 3rd driveway after the church on the left. Park your car on the right shoulder of the road and walk down the driveway.

We will meet together there until about 8:15, then we will head over to a bowling alley that we will have reservations for.

We enjoyed having many new people at our Source group last night at Minors Lane. Come join us each Thursday at 6:30pm as we just relax together, have good conversation, share the scriptures, give testimonies, and pray for each other.

REMEMBER to let us know if you are planning on going with us on our Canoe trip on Sat. June. 28. (See last email for details).

Have a wonderful weekend…hope to see you at church this Sunday.

Becky

2008 Evangel Singles Canoe/Kayak Trip

Announcing the Evangel Singles Canoe/Kayak trip to the wild and wooly Elkhorn Creek near Frankfort, KY.

For those who have been in the past, you know the routine. For those that haven’t… we hook up on Saturday morning around 9:30am, we drive to Canoe KY in Frankfort. Hit the river around 11am, lunch on the river, and paddle till late afternoon… basically about 4-5 hours on the water. We then break to change clothes and hit a great restaurant on the way back. We’re thinking possibly the Old Stone Inn in Simpsonville or Claudia Sanders on the way back.

It’s a great day of fun, sun, friends, food, and of course… water All set in the absolutely beautiful and scenic Bluegrass Region of Frankfort Kentucky. Oh and it’s really safe. Not much Whitewater here. Mostly class 1 or 2 rapids which one can easily wade through. You can rent either a canoe or Kayak. I recommend Kayaks in they are much easier to deal with and more fun. Canoes fit two people, kayaks one. You’re invited and feel free to invite friends.

Details:
When: Saturday June 28th 9:30am
Where to meet: Evangel World Conference Center, Billtown Road.
Destination: Canoe Kentucky in Frankfort KY
Cost: $35 for kayak. $55 for canoe (fits 2)

To join in the fun, reply to this email to confirm by June 21st so we can make the reservations.

Some of us have been working on the plans for our May Singles activity. We agreed that it would be the perfect weather and time of year for an afternoon at Kart Kountry in Shepherdsville. After discussing this at our last event and with the singles who attend our SOURCE group on Thursdays, we agreed that Saturday afternoon May 17 would be a good time to get together.

Since gas is so expensive, we agreed to have a group meet at the Evangel School parking lot at 12:30 to ride to Shepherdsville together. If others want to meet at Kart Kountry, we will meet you there at 1:00. (Exit 117/Hwy. 44) Kart Kountry offers miniature golf, a water park, game room, go-carting, and other events.

Here is the area where we’ll meet to watch the air show and fireworks Saturday evening. This is next to the Water Park by the new Tumbleweed on the Louisville site. Parking is normally along River Road or on Adam’s street marked below in pink. There is a hill next to the restaurant that allows for a good view of the river and air show as shown below. As Becky mentioned, some will be meeting here at 3pm to watch the air show and everyone else will probably meet here that evening after dinner at Clifton’s Pizza.















CLIFTONS PIZZA MEET UP

Some folks who wanted to come later can meet up at Clifton Pizza Company at 6pm to eat dinner and then go down to see the fireworks later that evening. Here is their website and map. It’s located on Frankfort Avenue across from Genny’s Diner.

Next Singles Event

Hey Friends!

We want everyone to come!!!!!

Easter weekend:
Saturday March 22 A Time of Prayer 6:00 pm Roger Hoagland’s home 10225 Bardstown Bluff Rd. 40291
(approx. 3.5 miles south of Gene Snyder off of Bardstown Road)

Movie Night 7:30pm ( We will decide on a movie to attend together, then grab some food at a nearby
restaurant afterwards.)


For our Resurrection Weekend Service Project, we’ve chosen to help the Lord’s Kitchen with the Alan Shaw Feinstein $1 Million Matching Grant Challenge. Bring an offering and as many canned goods as possible to the March 22 Prayer meeting/Movie Night. We will turn the money and food over to Vance Shelton (one of our faithful singles). Let’s really make a difference in people’s lives as we serve in this ministry opportunity. (donations will be accepted from March 1 – April 30)


At this next meeting, we will set dates for dinner at Buca Di Beppo’s and Bowling.
We’d like to go canoeing, white water rafting, and go-carting in the Spring and summer months.

Thought for the day: Remember….the plans that God has for each of us is far higher and more fulfilling than any plan we may have for ourselves. (Read Jer. 29:11)

Seeking God’s Highest Together,
Becky

STILL ON TONIGHT

We are still on for the Singles activity in the Evangel School gym at 6:30 tonight. Bring a 2 liter and a few dollars if you can for pizza.

January Hello

I hope you are enjoying this COOL day in January. It is wonderful to have God’s love and care to warm us.

I apologize for not contacting you sooner. Our Evangel Email accounts have been down for 10 days, so I was unable to contact anyone during that time. We had a wonderful prayer meeting at Roger’s home on the 11th. Please pray over the following needs mentioned by those of you in attendance that evening:

Healing of diabetes
Finances
Christian friendships
Fresh anointing
Estate settlement
Household salvation
Emotional healing
God’s will in children’s lives
Missions trip
Better job
Souls
Restoration of family relationships
***Anna Smith’s brother, Robin, passed away on Jan. 23. Pray for Anna and her family.


After the last home prayer meeting, I sensed that God would be pleased if we continue these opportunities for prayer together. Our next prayer event will be on Saturday March 22 at 6:00 pm at Roger Hoagland’s home. We will make plans to all go to a movie together afterwards. (This is Easter weekend.)

Also, We have all been invited to a wonderful Singles conference in Elizabethtown Fri/Sat. March 7 – 8. A couple of us have been asked to be guest speakers and we would like as many of you as possible to go. It is close enough for us to drive down Friday evening and again on Saturday (or just attend whichever session is convenient for your schedule.) I will email or mail brochures and registration forms to you as soon as I receive them.

Special Prayer Event...

SPECIAL PRAYER MEETING FOR ALL SINGLES – Friday Jan. 11 6:30pm at Roger Hoagland’s home in Fern Creek (just 5 miles from the Gene Snyder). Please do a Google search for directions. His address is 10225 Bardstown Bluff Road 40291. Bring your Bibles please.

Start the New Year of right...

Hey everyone!

I’m sure by now you are settling back into a healthy routine after some wonderful holiday events. The Singles Christmas party at Kathy’s home was a highlight for each of us.

I want to encourage you to join us in our season of Prayer and Fasting from Jan. 6 – Jan. 26. Remember to pray that God will direct our Singles Ministry this year. We want to provide fellowship and encouragement to as many singles as possible during this new year. Our first 2 events of the year will help us accomplish a part of that goal. Two new SOURCE groups will be offered especially for Singles this semester at Evangel. They are as follows:
Beginning Wed. Jan. 9 - 6:30 pm weekly at Billtown Road prayer chapel (led by Jonah Rawal)

Beginning Thurs. Jan. 10 – 6:30 pm weekly at Minors Lane choir room (leader TBA)

We will be using a great curriculum from Turning Point. Study material will be available for you.
*SIGN UP THIS SUNDAY DURING ONE OF THE SERVICES* (or email me)
