from my heart - CBC Hannibal

FROM MY HEART
From My Heart,
This sermon series is challenging. How do we who are limited and unknowing understand the unlimited and all knowing? How does the
finite mind of man discuss and contemplate the infinite mind of God? Everything that we could say or think about God – He is infinitely
greater than! I feel like a blind man describing Michelangelo’s masterpieces. God is indescribable and incomprehensible to our human
minds…so why do we study the nature and essence of God? Why frustrate ourselves in attempting to grasp the infinite? I have been
asking myself these questions.
But I am sure there is great value in meditating and pondering on our great God. Just filling our minds with thoughts about the majesty,
beauty, and glory of God has uplifting spiritual properties. And to have the boldness and courage to STOP thinking about ourselves for a
change is, to say the least, refreshing and liberating! Paul encouraged us to think about true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable,
excellent and praiseworthy things. Just thinking about God honoring things can lift our spirits and give up a proper perspective. Surely
thinking on the nature and essence of God is on the top of that list and affects our life perspective as well.
But there are some I am sure that do nothing but think on the nature of God, but do so from a purely academic framework. Their agenda
is to educate themselves on theology. Now that is a fine goal and I have certainly benefited from theological academics; but I do not
think that is the God’s supreme intention for learning about Him…so why this series?
I believe there are two primary reasons that cause me to press forward in this pursuit.
I want to worship Him rightly. I do not want to worship a god of my own creation and thereby become guilty of idolatry.
The I AM changes who I am. The more I pursue a biblical understanding of God, the more the HOLY SPIRIT transforms me into
Jesus’ character and nature.
Join us each Sunday as we discover the God of the Bible – I AM.
For His glory and His Church
Bro Jeff
“A Mighty Fortress,” the hymn written by Protestant reformer Martin Luther in
1529, is powerful in English but even better in its original German. Historian Michael Streich notes that Luther compares God not only to a fortress but to a completely secure stronghold, or Feste Burg.
“A burg was a fortified town,” Streich says. “When invaders approached, the surrounding populace fled to the safety of the walls” — sometimes to layers of walls within walls. Luther’s hymn
compares God to the most powerful of all burgs, with eternally unbreakable walls.
When we need a place of refuge, God offers his Mighty Fortress, his Feste Burg. Within this refuge, with our value
based on our relationship to God rather than on earthly achievements, we’ll never be put to shame. Inside this
fortified town, the God who desires an eternal relationship with us delivers, rescues and saves us.
—Homiletics
At Calvary we are all excited about the renovation of
the gym.
This small poem reminds us of a greater renovation
project that we should be concerned about.
What are some of the things in our lives that need to
be fixed, restored or renovated. Ask the Lord to “fix
my inner core.”
Renovate me, precious Lord.
I turned from you and just ignored
your plan for me to be restored.
Without your love, I sink, not soar,
so change and fix my inner core.
Renovate me, precious Lord.

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call
on the one they have not believed in? And how
can they believe in the one of whom they have
not heard? And how can they hear without

Ladies Ministry is still moving forward without an
official leader. We want all ladies to know that we
are here for you and want to meet your needs the
best we can. We hope to have a new leader and a
Ladies ministry team in place by the first of 2015. Be thinking
about what you want Calvary’s Ladies Ministry to look like and
involved in. Also where do you want to be plugged in? What
Bible studies would you like to see for our ladies? We value
your input and are anxious to involve you in some aspect of this
ministry. I am planning to have a Ladies Ministry Brunch again
in January 2015 to hear from you as to what you feel is needed
in our Ministry. Be in prayer that God will direct this ministry
in the way that He wants it to go. I don’t have a specific date
yet for our brunch but I hope that you will attend and that you
will bring your ideas, hope and dreams with you. Look for the
Ladies Ministry Survey which will be available at the Ladies
Ministry table in the Foyer around October 19 th.
I cannot believe that I am already
writing my article for October. The
years keep flying by faster and faster.
That reminds me that I must not stress
about things out of my control. It reminds me that I
should not spend too much time on the trivial things
that won’t last but I should focus on that which is
eternal. Matthew 6:20 tell us to store up treasures in
heaven. I need to focus my time on people not
problems. So that gets me thinking about where my
time is spent. What treasures am I chasing?
Matthew 6:21 says, that where my treasure is, my
heart will be also. In the busyness of the holiday
seasons that are fast approaching, I pray that we will
all spend time on the eternal treasures, each other. I
pray as we have the evangelism meeting at the end of
this month that we will work hard to get people here
with the prayer that more treasures will be added to
the Kingdom. The more we invest, the more we love,
the more we serve, the more God is glorified.
Here is what the worship teams will be up to
this month.
Oct 3rd – Orchestra is playing for the pastor’s
conference here at Calvary
Oct. 12th – Heritage Hymn Fest at HLGU – 3pm

ways for next Easter. If you are interested in helping

or any other way please let us know.

Our Afterschool Adventures TREASURE YOUR PRAYERS & YOUR HELP ...we meet each
Wednesday to reach our to our neighbors in the apartments on Centerville Road..want to help???
Call Jennifer at 822-5682 or Heather at 795-7691
Heather (McSmith) THOUGHT OF A UNIQUE WAY TO HELP….her Birthday is coming .She thought you might
want to celebrate it with her by donating toward the purchase of bibles for the After School Adventure Ministry
Here is how you can do it! (Heather Says…..)
I want to use my birthday to raise the funds to purchase The Big Picture Interactive Bible. for each of our Afterschool Adventures kids.
I am hoping that I can get 36 people to donate $36 each in order to purchase 36 Bibles. This would allow us to have extra Bibles for
any new students or any parents who may decide they want their own Bible. (And, it helps keep the "36" theme!) Even more exciting, I
have a sweet friend who is going to donate 1 Bible for every 2 we raise funds for during this time. So, from now until Oct. 20, I am
hoping to raise enough money to buy at least 36 Bibles.
Then, on my birthday, Oct. 29, I'll be able to gather some friends and pray over these Bibles that will go to our sweet Afterschool kiddos.
I know that's a lot of money and I know many people reading this probably don't know me or the kids who will get these Bibles, but I
pray you will still be moved to help me reach the "least of these" here in my community with His word.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can mark your offering envelope “Afterschool Adventure Bible” or give directly to Heather. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!!!
It’s that time again to get ready for
Trunk or Treat. It is Friday October 31st,
5:30 to 7:30. Come and join the fun. We
will have the opportunity to meet and talk
to many families from our neighborhood
and community. I can’t think of any other time that we will
have this many people coming onto our church grounds,
and we need to be willing and prepared to great our guests!
Not only do we want church family to decorate vehicles,
we need church members and friends to be in the crowd
meeting and greeting families. You will not only meet
“churched” families, but will also see a lot of lost families
coming as well. If the only things that these families get
from us is a bunch of candy and food, we will have failed.
Let’s be ready to introduce ourselves to them and share the
love of Jesus with our guests!
In the church lobby is a sign-up sheet for vehicles and
an information sheet. We want to have around 30 cars decorated in our parking lot. Also.......We need candy! Please
bring any candy donations (or money for candy) to the
main office.
Thanks for all your help,
Mr. Doug

It’s a good time to be at Calvary!
Why?
Because life is happening and we are investing in
each other’s lives.
We are in a unique position of growth and ministry
and it is spreading in every one of our main ministries: Sunday School, Worship, Life Groups, and
Wednesday nights!
Now let’s continue to stay plugged in and challenge
our friends and absent members to return. Can you
see the potential? Do we expect to see the potential
become a reality? Join me in the pursuit as we become more like Christ. J

KELLY STEVENSON WOULD LIKE TO BE SURE
THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THE National Life Chain
being held, Sunday, October 5.
Hannibal will be participating in the National Life Chain
on Sunday, October 5 from 2 to 3 p.m.
The National Life Chain is the largest peaceful, prayerful,
pro-life, public witness in the world. More than 1500 cities
across the US and Canada are expected to participate.
The location will be on the sidewalk in front of Hannibal
High School. A collection will be taken up for Birthright
of Hannibal. For more information, call Tina at 573-7954617.
The daycare is still doing wonderful and our attendance
is still going strong! The older children have been working their
way through the alphabet. As they learn to write and recognize
each letter, we try to plan fun things for them to do that are centered on that letter such as activities, snacks, and
field trips. We are still teaching our kids bible verses and we expect them to memorize them in just
one short week. The kids have had a lot of fun
memorizing verses and, for most, learning new and
interesting things in the Bible. It bring me such
GREAT joy to hear the kids talk about knowing who Jesus is and
that He died on the cross for them!
I couldn’t be happier that our chapel services are back up
and running. We took the summer off, but now we are back learning and praising God in the sanctuary every other Friday. Anyone
is welcome to attend our chapel services. They are geared towards
the little kids, so kid songs and lessons that children ages 3 and up
can understand. Our services start at 10am and usually only last
about a half hour.
All prayers are expected with open arms for our daycare.
I will ask all of you to please pray our chapel services and how it
can greatly impact the children of the daycare and the children
involved in our homeschool group.
With Love,
Jill McCloud, Daycare Director
Operation Christmas Child
Now is the time
to start packing those boxes!
Do these gift-filled shoeboxes
really make a difference?
A simple gift-filled shoebox
delivered to a child in need can
give hope, change lives, and
transform communities
Something so ordinary as a shoebox can accomplish the eternal when it is packed with toys,
school supplies, hygiene items, and God’s love.
Powered by prayers, it can help lead children and
families to faith in Christ, inspire pastors, plant and
grow churches, and encourage disciples in some of
the most unreached places in the world.
One shoebox can also restore hope that there is
a God who loves, cares, and is concerned about the
details of a child’s life. And when you bless a child,
you minister to parents as well.
Through shoeboxes, churches
grow, disciples multiply, and
doors open for the Gospel—
sometimes even in countries
where it is illegal to be a Christian.
Calvary will start collecting
your shoeboxes in October. All shoe boxes should
be filled and returned by Sunday, November 9,

We are so excited about the new video series
that we are showing at our Griefshare group
this fall. Although the message is still dealing
with aspects of Grief, the videos are new and
refreshing with a few new Professional Speakers and some of our old favorites too.
We are excited to add Carole Jo Riley to our facilitators! She has been through the course and has see
firsthand how God has used GriefShare to help her on
her Journey toward healing. God always brings just the
ones that he knows need to be in our group and we are
so thankful for them. If you know of a friend or loved
one who would benefit from the GriefShare support
group, please have them call Irene Hurt 573-795-2433
for more information.
PS: we have outgrown our old room so we are currently meeting in the Pastor’s Conference room from
6:00pm-7:30pm. Hope to see you there.

Food For Thought:
Human strength is a strong deterrent to trusting Christ.
When we rely on our own strength, resources, and
knowledge, we assume we can handle situations without
help from God. We tend to divide problems into two
categories: problems that we know require God’s help
and problems we think we can handle on our own.
Is that you? How does that match up with scripture?
If we are becoming more like Christ, why do we so easily
turn Him away and turn back to our own sinful independence?
Calendar:
Oct 2 - Breakfast w/ staff at 9 am @ The Dinette
Oct 16 - Forever Young at Noon
Also, don’t forget October Sunday Nights w/ the
Pastor. Come explore the Word with Bro. Jeff as
he leads you through the New Testament.
Serving Him and serving you!

How Can I help others?
You may not feel God calling you to join the counseling
center but He will use you just where you are if you have a
willing heart and a listening ear. Here are some practical
ways you can help others.
No matter what you do, whether you work inside or outside
the home, are a stay at home mom, or retired, you influence
other people. Many times through life you encounter others
who are looking for help. A friend, neighbor, work associate,
or family member will eventually approach you and share a
deep concern, trial, or challenge they are facing. When they
do, are you ready to help? Here are a few simple guidelines
for preparing yourself to help others:
1.Be compassionate. To be effective in helping others, you
must be a loving, compassionate person. You must love
the person enough to present the truth to this person,
regardless of what the truth may suggest for him/her.
When the rich young ruler came to Jesus and asked
what he must do to inherit eternal life, “Then Jesus,
looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One
thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have
and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow
Me” (Mark 10:21). Even though the truth was strong,
and ultimately was rejected, Jesus did not force God’s
solution on the young man.
2. Listen to the problem. While a compassionate person
will listen carefully to the problem, he/she must also
seek to discover the individual’s attitudes and re-acttions toward people and circumstances. The process
should not be hurried. The person’s current behavior
and attitude, which reflects the past, should be the
major concern. Listen for evidence of the need for the
fruit of the Spirit and specific issues of sin. Do not be
afraid to do this, you know that the blood of Jesus
Christ can wash away sin! Listening is an art.
3. Point the person to a solution. Be sure you correctly
understand the person’s situation, attitudes, and
reactions toward the problem. Do not jump to a
solution too quickly. Many people will talk first about
a surface problem before they get to their real problem.
When you come to an agreement with the person you
are helping as to what the real problem is, and you
understand his/her attitudes and reactions, then use
the Bible as a mirror so the individual can see himself/
herself reflected from Scripture. At this point, you need
to be firm, not stern! You do not need to strive with the
person but simply need to faithfully, gently, patiently,
and lovingly declare the Word of God. If the person is
not a Christian, this is the time to present the plan of
salvation. If the person is a Christian, this is the time to
teach him/her that they are not walking in the Spirit.
He/she may repent, or not, go away and think about it,
or ask to talk again to clarify a few things.
4. Use other counseling helps. Direct this person to our
Laity Care Counseling Center. They can call for an
appointment at 573-231-5741. You can also direct the
person to go to www.kerryskinner.com and click on
“Free Audio” to listen to a supporting message.
Introduce the person to a small group Bible study.
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS COLUMN
Invite them to attend a worship service with you. Suggest a study like, “The Heart of the Problem” or
“Experiencing God.” Remember, “Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies
and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any
trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are
comforted by God. “ (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) (This article
was adapted from an article at www.kerryskinner.com)
