News from Harvest Baptist Church

Pastor’s Corner

Posted by admin On March - 9 - 2010

God blessed last Sunday as we heard messages from the Word of God. Pastor Josh preached from 1 Peter 213-17—a ‘very good message on the believers’ responsibilities to God and to government.

Next Sunday is a big and important day in the life of Harvest Baptist Church. We begin our Revival-Evangelistic meetings with Evangelist Ro Comfort. I consider it a great privilege to have Dr. Comfort preach for us. He is a man of God, signally blessed wit the gift of an Evangelist. he will be a great blessing to all who hear his messages. Next Sunday morning he will speak to the Adult and Teen Bible Study Classes during the Sunday School hour at 9:30. Then he will preach in our Morning Service at 10:45. We want a great crowd for that Morning Service. Believe me on this—you will receive wonderful blessing from Evangelist Comfort’s ministry. I am looking forward to Sunday, especially looking forward to seeing all of you there for the Morning service.

Wil Kroeker underwent the balloon procedure yesterday that was to correct the blockage of his intestines. A blockage was found. The balloon did its work, but it may have to be repeated before too long. He is feeling quite a bit better. Praise the Lord, the doctors reported the fond no cancer.

Today his wife, Terey, is undergoing an angiogram reaching to a c luster of arteries in her brain. This is a very delicate procedure, and she needs our prayers for her today.
She has been suffering severe headaches.

Pray also for Glen Lamoreaux is having a lithothripsy procedure this morning to break up a large kidney stone.

May the Lord bless each of you that you may honor the Lord with your life daily. We are thankful for the privilege of being your pastor.

Yours and His,

Ed Nelson, Pastor

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
