GBC Community Update: Go to God with your fears

11/24/2020

0 Comments

 
​Good morning!  Okay, so I commented on the snow last week, well, its pretty hard to ignore but I’ll refrain from saying anything!!  Anyways, it was great to share in our baptisms on Sunday. As a father, it was a great joy to baptize my daughter but it was also amazing to see how God is working in Matthew’s life and how God led him to the GBC family.  There’s much we can be encouraged about as a church no matter what the color of Covid is right now!
 
 
Communion This Sunday!
Our next opportunity to participate in communion will be held this Sunday. I would encourage you to spend time this week preparing your hearts to commune with the Lord. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians that when we take communion “whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”  This is a great thing to remember, Jesus is coming back and when he does, everything changes.   We’ll be remembering that on Sunday. I hope you’ll celebrate with us.
For those joining us on our livestream, I’d encourage you to participate.  If you’d like a set of the elements we’ll be using, let me know and I can arrange delivery.
 
 
Wednesday Prayer
Join Jacob and Karen Ginter for a time of prayer on Wednesday afternoons at 3pm here at GBC in the Side Auditorium.
For questions or further details please contact Jacob at– jginter@guelphprays.com or text 519-803-4453
 
 
Thought for the day: Go to God with your fears
The Bible instructs us many times to “fear not.” God doesn’t want us to be debilitated by fear.  For those who have the proper awe and respect for God and who strive to obey His commands, God makes some wonderful promises:
We read in Isaiah 41: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand”.   
Jesus said this: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.
 
As we grow in the faith to believe these promises, we can increase our ability to turn our worries over to God.  Consider this biblical principle in your battle with fear:
We can ask God for His strength and peace. David, a man after God’s own heart, faced many frightening situations. After escaping one terrifying incident in the midst of Philistine territory, he wrote in the Psalms, “I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears”.  Paul gave us this advice and reassurance: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ”. 
Do you find yourself fearful? Go  to God with your fears by applying these principles and I bet you you’ll find things get a lot better.
 
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
