Welcome to Central!

Welcome to Sunday’s Worship Services! Many call this time of year in church

work as the second harvest season. For about ten weeks, people settle into

routines, getting back into their normal schedule. The church is the same.

Many members are more faithful during this time of the year. Offerings go up

and ministry opportunities increase. Let’s optimize our potential and reach

many people in this window of opportunity. DO you have plans to have

someone in church with you next Sunday?

50 Visitors on September 16

How many visitors can we get into church on one day if we all worked at it

at the same time? September 16 is “Back to Church” Sunday, and

our goal is to not only get every member back into church from our sum-

mertime vacations, but to get 50 visitors to come too. Start praying! Start

working! We look forward to a great day of evangelism and fellowship with

new friends. Every member is urged to bring someone with them.

“Bring them in, Bring them in, Bring the wandering one to Jesus.”

When You Fall Text: Genesis 3:7-21

Whether you are just now realizing how fallen you are, or whether you have

known your condition for a while, God’s Word offers help to you. There are

some things we must remember when, just like Adam and Even, we fall into

sin.

I. God __________, So Y0u Can __________ To Him

“they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden” (vs. 8)

A. You Cannot Hide Your __________ From Him

“aprons” (vs. 7)

B. You Cannot Hide Your __________ From Him

“hid themselves” (vs. 7)

II. God __________, So Y0u Can __________ To Him

“And the Lord God called unto Adam” (vs. 9)

A. The ____________ With Which God Calls

“called”

B. The ____________ For Which God Calls

“I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself” (vs. 10)

III. God __________, So Y0u Can __________ To Him

Romans 1:16 A. Trust His ____________ “Eve; because she was the mother of all living” (vs. 20)

B. Trust His ____________ “coats of skins, and clothed them” (vs. 21)

You are a fallen creature, and because of that you still fall.

Those who have been saved by God’s grace, still fail God, and fall into sin. All those who are fallen can be helped by God’s grace and God’s Word.

Evaluate Your CommitmentEvaluate Your Commitment

Have you ever evaluated your level of commitment to the Lord? Sadly,

many Christians have entered the door of salvation and settled down into

their pew, expecting nothing more. But Christ wants us to decide deliber-

ately to let Him be the Lord of our lives. This requires the surrender of all

our rights and recognition that He’s the One who plots the course. Our

responsibility is simply to follow.

However, our natural tendency is to limit the areas where we allow God

access. The day you trusted Christ as your Savior, did you keep the title

deed for your life? Have your drawn a circle indicating, “This is the area in

which I will serve You, Lord, but don’t ask me to go any farther”?

If so, you have failed to recognize that when Jesus granted you forgiveness,

He also purchased you for Himself. All that you are and have belongs to

Him. It is the height of pride to assume authority over that which no longer

belongs to you.

When the Lord challenges us to do something beyond our self-determined

boundaries, He is calling us to a higher level of commitment. No matter

how dedicated we may be at present, none of us have yet “arrived.” Each

challenge is an opportunity to hand Christ full authority over every aspect of

life.

You are only as committed as you are obedient to whatever God is asking of

you at any given moment. If you have posted a “no trespassing” sign

anywhere in your life, it is time to take it down. As Christ’s blood-bought

possessions, we are His not only by purchase but also by His sacrificial love.

At the cross, at the cross

Where I first saw the Light

And the burdens of my heart

Rolled away.
