A Note from the Pastor

Sunday

Blood Drive

We had another great Sunday at PRBC this week. God is

working, and it is exciting to watch Him do His work. A
couple weeks ago we talked about coming to church
expectantly. We want to come to church intentionally
desiring to hear from God and be changed by Him. This
week I read an excellent article from Chuck Lawless that
I wanted to pass along to you all. The article is a little
long so the second half will be in next weeks
proclaimer. These are ten questions that we should ask
before we come to worship:

God encounters holy people; He purifies them; when He
encounters unholy people, though, He sometimes
consumes them.

is easy though not good if you havent invited
anyone to attend. If you have invited someone, pray for
that person now.

Golden Heirs

genuinely focused on prayer this week? If so, God may

need to break through your self-dependence simply to
bring your heart to the beginning of worship.

2. Will my sin hinder the work of Gods Spirit in our

congregation? God is, of course, sovereign, but He
often chooses not to work through unrepentant people.
Even Jesus work in Nazareth was limited because the
people did not believe (Mark 6:5).
