Pastor's Reflections:
There are so many things to pray about in our world and community. It seems like the Winter is just dragging on and it is only January. Many people are telling me about their feelings of depression. We wonder where to turn? We are provided an answer in Psalm 40:2 when it says " you set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure." There are many times when we feel as though we are dealing with life's situations all alone. It is during those challenging times that we need to turn to God. He is the rock that we must stand upon.
We are reminded of that each day as we watch and listen to the news accounts of the disaster in Haiti. So many of those who have survived that earthquake praise God when they are dug out from the rubble. Their faith is what has sustained them, just like it will sustain us in our days of depression and challenges.
Please remember to pray for the shut ins, those in nursing homes, those suffering depression, those who have fallen on the ice, those who are experiencing life style changes and most of all each other. Remember to check up on each other when you notice a difference in someone's daily routine that is an excellent indication that something is wrong. The most important thing that we can do each day is to pray to God for guidance and to sustain us. He will sustain us in our times of frustration and depression. Blessings Pastor Carl

Hoarding What You Have
Wendy Pope
"I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back." Matthew 25:25 (NLT)
Devotion:
Reality shows are the craze today. You can watch children with problems set on the straight and narrow by The World's Strictest Parents. If you are not happy with your spouse, you can Wife Swap for another spouse while millions watch. The world is also even now invited into the private moments of drug and alcohol interventions.
One of the newest reality shows to hit the airwaves is called Hoarders. People on this show have made a lifestyle out of holding on to what they have. In Hoarders, individuals come face to face with the reality of their problem through intervention and encouragement to clear out their stuff.
Our key verse comes from a story of three servants who were entrusted by their master with his money while he was away. The first two servants pleased their master by multiplying or showing growth of what they had been given. The third servant disappointed his master. He had hidden the money, keeping it safe but also keeping it from earning interest. In other words, he hoarded what his master had given him. Why did he hoard what he had been given?
Scripture gives us the answer. The servant was afraid. He was so consumed by his fear that he did nothing. He was afraid of messing up. He was paralyzed by the thought of doing something wrong or reflecting poorly on his master. In fear, he hid the money and then gave it back.
As I pondered the events of this story my mind drew a picture, a picture I did not like. In the picture I was bowing before my holy Lord, giving back exactly what He entrusted to me, nothing more. I questioned, Am I responding to my Master as this servant responded to his master? Have I fully used or am I fully using, even developing, the gifts and talents He has entrusted to me? Am I hiding what He gave me in fear of messing up?
What about you? How would you answer these questions? It is easy to think we are not good enough or that we are undeserving of God's gifts. Our negative thoughts take us captive, leading us to believe we would reflect poorly upon our Lord if we dared to multiply and grow what He has given us. Today's devotion is our intervention. Now is the time to clear out what we've been hoarding or hiding. Praise God our intervention is not dramatized in front of millions of people. We stand before an audience of One - the only One who matters.
Dear Lord, I apologize for hiding and hoarding anything that You have given me. Help me be a good steward of everything You entrust to me. I want to be used to grow Your Kingdom. Supply the confidence I need to clean out my hiding places. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Study Guide Febraury 1st thru 6th
STUDY GUIDE
Monday, February 1: Choosing The Right Circle; Read 2 Chronicles 10:8. Be careful what kind of inner circle you choose. When you consider people to be a part of your inner circle, look for someone who has experience and the heart of God. Look for someone who can be objective about life’s situations and has a love for the people. Look for people who have personality traits that compliment yours and are truly concerned about you.
Tuesday, February 2: Extending Your Influence; Read Mark 3:13-15. One of the greatest lessons that I have learned is that the people closest to me determine my level of success or failure. When I find people with leadership qualities and pour my life into them, I find that as they improve, so do I.
Wednesday, February 3: Give Up; Read James 1:2. What price are you willing to pay to be a more effective leader? Many times, as a leader, you will be asked to make sacrifices. These sacrifices may involve lifestyle changes and even time away from your family. God may totally change your thought process in order to make you into a more effective leader.
Thursday, February 4: A Leader Speaks Up; Read Galatians 2:14. Paul reminds us that Christian leaders should remain consistent in their thoughts and actions. When making decisions always consider your motives and be specific about what you expect from people. Don’t undermine someone’s self-confidence, and always be encouraging.
Friday, February 5: The Team Holds The Dream; Read Proverbs 16:15. One of the mistakes that leaders often make is that they focus too much attention on their dream and too little attention on their team. The truth is that if you build the right team, the dream will take care of itself. If you want to achieve your dream, then build the right team.
Saturday, February 6: Earn Trust By Doing The Right Thing; Read Ezra 7:10. Leaders are constantly studying and learning. Leaders earn the respect of their followers and are constantly establishing their connections and earning the respect of others. Leaders are constantly seeking to do the right thing.

Study Guide January 25th thru 30th
STUDY GUIDE
Monday, January 25: Looking Into The Mirror; Read Romans 3:20. Why did God give us the Ten Commandments when He knew that we would break them? He gave them in order to show us that we are sinful and weak, and that we need His mercy. When I look into the mirror of the Ten Commandments, I see that I am a sinner. Then I cry out “God be merciful to me!”
Tuesday, January 26: Talking To God; Read Psalm 107:8. When we truly understand that God is our loving heavenly Father and we are His children, then we won’t worry about disappointing Him with our prayers. God delights in our prayers when they truly express the feelings and desires of our heart.
Wednesday, January 27: No Secrets From God; Read 1 Kings 8:39. God knows everything about us, even our deepest thoughts and motives. We can hide them from other people; we can even hide them from ourselves, but we can’t hide them from God. Thank God for His grace and His willingness to forgive our sins.
Thursday, January 28: Letting Go Of The Past; Read Ephesians 4:31. Have you ever noticed that if you continue to hate someone whatever they did will continue to hurt you? Our anger and hatred just keep opening past emotional wounds. This is one reason that we need to let go of the past with God’s help, and release our anger and hatred and replace it with His love.
Friday, January 29: Using Our Gifts; Read Romans 12:6-8. One of Satin’s oldest tricks is to make us think that we aren’t worth anything and that God can’t use us. This simply isn’t true. God wants to use each of us, and He has equipped every one of us with the gifts we need to serve Him.
Saturday, January 30: He Can Be Trusted; Read Numbers 23:19. Can God’s promises be trusted? Yes, we can trust His promises because He does not lie, nor does He change His mind. He is perfect and holy, and He loves us. God knows your problems, and He can be trusted to be with you. (Wisdom, Stilwell., Thomas Nelson., 2008.)

Study Guide
STUDY GUIDE
Monday, January 11: Faithfully Present; Read Luke 19:10. Our God is the God who follows. Have you sensed Him following you? He is the one who came to seek and save the lost. Have you sensed Him seeking you? Have you felt Him calling you when He says “Come, I have important work for you to do.”
Tuesday, January 12: Who Is The Servant? Read Luke 10: 40-42. Beware of the fact that many of us make a common mistake as we begin to work for the Lord. Our work can become more important than our Lord. What began as a way to serve Jesus, slowly and subtly became a way to serve our self.
Wednesday, January 13: Thinking of You; Read Philippians 4:6. Heaven knows no difference between Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoon. God longs to speak as clearly in the workplace as He does in the sanctuary. You may go days without thinking of Him, but there is never a moment when He is not thinking of you.
Thursday, January 14: God’s Good Gifts; Read James 1:17. Ever feel like you have nothing? Just look at the gifts God has given you. He has sent angels to care for you, His Holy Spirit to dwell in you, His church to encourage you, and His word to guide you. Anytime you speak, He listens; make a request and He responds.
Friday, January 15: God’s Good Timing; Read Luke 18:7. Many times we hear nothing but God is speaking to us. Though you see nothing, He is acting. With God there are no accidents; every incident is intended to bring us closer to Him.
Saturday, January 16: Clothes of Salvation; Read 1 Corinthians 15:53. Does Jesus care what clothes we wear? Apparently so. Romans 13:14 says “Clothe yourselves with the Lord and forget about, satisfying your sinful self.” “You were all baptized into Christ, and so you will all be clothed in Christ.” This clothing has nothing to do with dresses, pants or jeans.

STUDY GUIDE
Monday, January 4: In Your Footsteps; Read 1 Samuel 22:2. David teaches us several things about leadership. David attracted men without pursuing them, and he enjoyed a great loyalty from them without trying to get it. He transformed these men without disenchanting them over their initial state. David fought alongside these men and turned them into winners.
Tuesday, January 5: Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously; Read Proverbs 17:22. No matter how serious your work is, that is no reason to take yourself too seriously. If you take yourself too seriously, give yourself and everyone else including you a break. Recognize that laughter breeds resilience. Laughing is the quickest way to get up and going when you have been knocked down.
Wednesday, January 6: Fire of God; Read Isaiah 33: 14-16. Who can stand up under the purification process of God? God lays out a list of traits for the kind of people who can stand up in a crisis. These traits include: integrity, being fair in dealing with people, remaining true to your values, positive focus, a pure mind, being stable and secure in your thoughts.
Thursday, January 7: The Heart of Leadership; Read John 13:4-5. When you think of servanthood, what do you think of? Servanthood isn’t about position or skill, it is about attitude. True leaders put others ahead of themselves, and possess the confidence to serve. True leaders initiate service to others and are not position conscious, but instead serve out of love.
Friday, January 8: Be Careful Where You Get Your Counsel; Read Psalm 1:1-3. A wise leader meditates on God’s word day and night. When you receive counsel from the right inner circle you enjoy many things in your life. Your life becomes stable, full as a result of inward nourishment and refreshment. You are confident in your ability to deal with whatever challenges you face, realizing that you will be successful.
Saturday, January 9: The Blame Game; Read Genesis 3:12. When things go wrong the natural tendency is to look for someone to blame. The next time you experience a failure, think about why you failed instead of who was at fault. Ask yourself what lessons have I learned, and how can I turn this failure into success? To reach your potential, you must continually improve yourself.
