Volume 39 Number 49 December 4 , 2016

I Know

I John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that

believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that

ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the

Son of God.” You and I as children of God should be the happiest

people on the face of this earth. Certainly, there are times when our

hearts do become heavy because of some adverse condition that has

occurred; however, those times should only be momentary because

we have a fellowship with the Father and his Son that enables us to

rise above all adversities (I John 1:1-7, I Cor. 1:9, I John 4:4).

Glory to God that we’ve been delivered from darkness and

redeemed by the blood of Jesus having our sins forgiven (Col. 1:12-

14). John tells us over and over in the book of I John “we know.”

This simply shows confidence in God and in His exceedingly pre-

cious promises to us. Our confidence comes from the Lord. Know-

ing that Christ lives in me (Gal. 2:20), knowing that I am a new

creature (2 Cor. 5:17), knowing that my sins are forgiven (Col.

1:14), I am confident to walk in newness of life (Rom 6:4), know-

ing that God will never leave me nor forsake me (Heb. 13:5). I

know, do you?

It is an honor to have you join us in worship at the

Northside Church of Christ! Our mission is to save

souls and to help souls stay saved. We extend our

sincere love towards you and we encourage you to take

advantage of the opportunity to have a bible study with

members who are eager to study with you. If you do not

share our like faith, this bible study, as well as your visit

today, offers a two way opportunity: (1) We have the

chance to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ and

the essential steps to salvation. (2) You have the chance

to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized where-

by being added to the Church of Christ. We welcome

you to investigate what you hear and see today. You

will be able to ask your biblical questions and receive

biblical answers that will guide you to make an in-

formed, life changing decision. Thank you for being our

special guest! Please come again.

Better Men, Husbands, Fathers, and Leaders

Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?

Matt. 28:19-20 is the great

commission given to members of

the body of Christ. As Christians,

it is our responsibility to Tell,

Talk and Teach others about

Jesus. Telling someone about

Christ will often open the door to

Talk with them about Him. You

can then Teach them or invite

them to Church where they can be

taught. We encourage each Chris-

tian to take advantage of such

opportunities. If you know of a

prospect, and for some reason

cannot conduct a personal Bible

study, please give their contact

information to Bro. and/or Sis.

Oliver or to one of our Leaders.

Welcome to the Family!!
