I hope you’ve had a good week since we last visited. Praise the Lord, my mom is doing fantastic! Her mind is sharp, and her physically therapy is progressing very well. As soon as she can get up from the bed or a chair by herself, she could very well be discharged. She was stricken with a rupturing gall bladder way back on February 9, and for several weeks it was touch and go. It has been slow going, but mom is in good spirits and she is being well cared for. I’m thankful for that! Please continue to pray for her, and I’ll keep you updated weekly in this blog, and on the church facebook page.
Services yesterday at Friendship Harmony were good. Eleanor McDonnel sang a special and it was a blessing to hear. I’m so glad when people are willing to share the talents God has given them. After the service we had our monthly carry in dinner, and as usual our cooks outdid themselves. The food was awesome!
The message title was The Horses In Satan’s Stable. Our text came from Revelation 6:1-8. We were able to get acquainted with the first two horses: the white horse and the red horse. We discovered that the rider of both horses was the same; the Anti-Christ. He rides the white horse for the first 42 months of the tribulation. For more on that you can read Daniel’s account of the seventy weeks. Sixty nine weeks have passed, while one yet remains. A “week” is a seven year period of time. Remember, in Jewish reckoning, a year is 360 days, not our common 365. You can find this in Daniel 9: 27. At the mid point of the tribulation, Anti-Christ breaks his treaty with Israel, and the last 42 months, known as “great tribulation” begins. What he has done is jump down off the white horse, and mounts the red horse. The white horse represents victory and peace, while the red horse represents war. For a complete set of sermon notes on all four horses, see the blog for next Monday morning. I’ll post them in their entirety then.
This is a busy week at Friendship Harmony. On Tuesday night at 6:30pm at the home of Bill and Patty Wolfe we will have a night of fellowship and fun. This time, known as “game night” is a real good way to get to know others better, and to enjoy some good Christian laughter and amusement. If you aren’t into games, come out anyway and enjoy the fellowship. You’ll be glad you did. On Wednesday from 2:00 - 4:00pm our small group, The Jewish Roots of Christianity meets. This time has been a real blessing. Wednesday we continue our look at the Tower of Babel. Thursday morning from 9:00 until 11:30am is our time of visitation. If you know of anyone who would appreciate a visit, please call or e-mail me their name, address, and phone number. Friday, at the time of your choosing, is the time we encourage all of you to spend an hour with the Lord in prayer, Bible reading, and private devotions. The date for this coming Friday is the 16th, so I suggest Proverbs 16 as a good place to visit. Each of you, no matter where you are geographically located in this world can take part in this. Finally, on Saturday Morning at 8:00am at the Twisted Lemon on Pine Island Road will be our men’s breakfast. Any of you men in the area are encouraged to come. Burt Nelson will lead our devotion this month.
Take care of yourself, and have a good and safe week. I’ll see you next Monday Morning With Pastor Vic!
