Yesterday started off good with a productive time in Sunday School. We all learned, shared, and prayed together. Then the day took a down note after services with a meeting with news that was not promising. Please be praying for FBC of Lincoln as we are going through some difficult times.

After the meeting however a encouraging event took place Daniel's friend Will came to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Experiences like these make all of he hard times of ministry worth while. Congrats Will we look forward to having you learn and grow with us.

I was listening to a commentary today from Chuck Smith on Genesis chapter 38 and Chuck was talking about the robe that Joseph was given by his father. I love the fact that Jacob loved his son so much, but I could not stop thinking about the robe. Joseph robe was a robe of authority of royalty. It was a robe with sleeves. I wonder some times if as Christians we forget we are workers. We need to never forget to put our time and energy into working hard for Christ.

Joseph had a robe with sleeves, but as followers of Christ we need to tear off our sleeves and go about our Fathers business and work.

Last night Jennie brought her friend Nicole to the Wednesday night Journey. It is always exciting to have someone new come to church, but it is even better when they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Congratulation Nicole for making he decision to spend eternity with Christ.

Today I will be attending the Sierra Foothill Baptist Associational meeting at FBC Rocklin. One of the topics of discussion will be a outreach trailer. We hope to obtain a enclosed trailer with all of the supplies needed for reaching the lost.

Sorry for not posting lately.

Sunday we continued on with Genesis, but had the privilege of having Air Force One teach us. She did a great job. I hope to see more of the youth want to take the lead in teaching a class. Hope to see everyone on Wednesday.

Today Nathaniel was baptized in the new baptismal the church purchased. We had the water a little high and it was as if the front row was at a Sea World show. But Nathaniel loved the experience.

Losts to do this week. We have our quarterly business meeting and I have to prepare to give next Sundays message. I feel led to encourage the church with a salt and light sermon.

This last week I went to a memorial service for my AA sponsor. He was a great and kind man that I have a tremendous respect for. Bob will always be in my heart.

Last night my family participated in the Christmas Production at Bell Road Baptist Church. Even though I was not in the presentation I was able to observe two of my children Peter and Isaiah do a wonderful job.

Prior to the starting of the performance I watched a couple young men fooling around in the lobby of the Church. After a short conversation with Tim I was able to share with him the Gospel Message. Just before the music started Tim asked Jesus into his heart. Way to go Tim.

I am looking forward to the Christmas Eve services my wife has planed with the worship team at FBC Lincoln. It will be a wonderful start to Christmas in Lincoln. You cannot go wrong by experiencing a celebration of Christ's Birth with your family. And invite anyone who reads this blog to join us on Wednesday at 5:00pm at 1545 1st street in Lincoln.
