Compassion - difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.Sermon by Pastor Bill Connell:
Last week, we looked at the "Parable of the Arrogant Guest," also in Luke 14. That parable was essentially instruction from our Lord on the need to humble ourselves. Ultimately, everyone will be humbled. Either we choose to humble ourselves, and reap the benefits, or we will be humbled at some point against our will.
Today we are going to examine the "Parable of the Indifferent Guests." To listen to sermons on line, please go to our web site: http://www.gracebiblesouthgate.org/ and click on Recent Sermons.
Annual Business Meeting - Today
However, to better serve the congregation, the elders believe one elders term should be extended one year. As a result, a ballot will be presented at today's meeting that will read: "In compliance with Article 7l02 in the Grace Bible Church Constitution, the elders are requesting that the term of Craig McGlassion be extended by one year. Do you support this request?" Church members present will be asked to vote YES or NO.
This year's meeting will once again include a meal. The church will be providing the main dish of broasted chicken and the beverages. We are asking that each family bring a generous portion (enough to feed 8-10) of your choice of 2 of the following sides: Pasta, Potato, Vegetable or Dessert. If you have questions, please see Everett & Jacque Sollars.

A report on the Bible as seen through the eyes of a child ...
"In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness and some gas. The Bible says "The Lord thy God is one", but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said "Give me a light!" and someone did. Then God made the world. He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet."
