News from Harvest Baptist Church

Pastor’s Corner

Posted by admin On November - 30 - 2009

We had a great day in Church yesterday. We had the first services of our Faith Promise Missions Conference, 2009. The messages by Dr. Bud Steadman were outstanding. Hr challenged us in our Christian lives and in our stewardship to send missionaries to reach a world for Christ.

Our Conference continues this week at 7:00 P.M. on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Tonight (Monday) we will have a presentation from Missionary Ben Shore who is planning to leave with his family for Scotland early in 2010. Then we will be blessed with another message from the Word of God brought to us be Dr. Steadman.

There will be no services Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Next Sunday will be Faith Promise Sunday when we will receive the Faith Promises for Missions in 2010. These promises will determine what this church can do for missions in the next year. We encourage all of you to pray asking God what your part should be in the missions program of Harvest Baptist Church.

The Memorial Service for Janice Waters will be next Saturday, December 5, at 10:00 A.M., in the chapel at Olinger-Andrews, Caldwell Gibson Mortuary, 407 Jerry St., Castle Rock, CO. There will be a viewing connected with this service from 4:00-7:00 P.M., Friday, December 4, at the same Mortuary. We hope all of you can attend this service.

Then do not forget that next Sunday we will have Dr. John Hutcheson speaking at [the followiing services:

9:30 A.M. Adult-Teen Bible Study
10:45 A.M. Morning Service

Highlights

Dear Church Family,

What a beautiful to sight to look out at the landscape transformed by the white snow. As I look out the window preparing for tomorrow I can’t stop thinking about the sacrifice that Jesus made for me to make my sin as white as snow. I pray that you will begin thinking these thoughts today and prepare your heart for tomorrow’s service. We have a very special service planned tomorrow. Our singing will be focused on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. Maria Barta, one of our newest members, will be singing one of my favorite songs tomorrow, The Look (the lyrics for this song can be found at the bottom of this post). We will conclude the service with our Sacrifice Sunday Offering. In this offering you will be asked to place your financial, as well as time, sacrifice to Christ. It will be a wonderful time of focus on the work of our precious Savior.

I understand that the snow has made it difficult for many to get out; however, I believe that tomorrow’s service is extremely important for our church. We have a quick fellowship after the service tomorrow followed by a presentation of the plans for our new auditorium. If our church is going to move forward on this building project I believe it is vital for us all to be on the same page. We are planing the future of our church tomorrow. We spent the entire month of January building up to this service. I believe this is a critical time for our church body. We have the opportunity to gather together and focus on the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the cross. I pray that you will be here tomorrow to worship together with the body of Christ.

In Christ,

Pastor Josh


The Look


I saw one hanging on a tree in agony and blood

Who fixed His loving eyes on me as near His cross I stood

And never till my dying breath will I forget that look

It seemed to charge me with His death though not a word He spoke


My conscience felt and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair

I saw my sins His blood had spilt and helped to nail Him there

But with a second look He said “I freely all forgive

this blood is for your ransom paid; I died that you might live”


Thus while His death my sin displays for all the world to view

Such is the mystery of grace; it seals my pardon too

With pleasing grief and mournful joy my spirit now is filled

That I should such a life destroy yet live by Him I killed


CHORUS

Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died

The Lamb I crucified and now my life will sing the praise

Of pure atoning grace that looked on me and gladly

took my place
