Hello friend,
 
Pastor Bill and I have returned from The Global Leadership Summit for pastors in Washington DC. What a lineup of speakers! We were so blessed to sit under some great teaching on the topic of leadership God’s way.
 
This Sunday, we open chapter 3 of Luke with a trial! You will be jurors deciding if there’s evidence to convict Jesus as being the Son of God. Many today say that He was a great teacher but that the Bible never called Jesus God. Come decide for yourself! All Rise!
 
The State Legislature and Governor have requested that Idaho Christians pray this Sunday for our country and state; that God would calm the violent protests, thwart evil terrorist attacks against our nation, and that the church would stand up and speak out at this pivotal time in our history. Additionally, we’re asked to pray for God’s hand to provide the life-giving snow and water that sustains our homes, lives, and agriculture here in Idaho. We are at dangerously low snow-pack levels. I’m inviting you to include all of these critical needs as you pray this Sunday.
 
Tomorrow (Saturday) at 9a.m. I want to remind all the men of our Men’s Potluck Breakfast. We have a really great speaker – Chris Smith – who has a testimony of going from prison to pastor after surrendering to and following Jesus. THIS WILL BE A GREAT EVENT TO BRING YOUR UNSAVED FRIEND OF FAMILY MEMBER TO!
 
Upcoming Events:

Thanks for staying InTouch,
 
Pastor Ben
