Sermon by Pastor Bill Connell
"The Party Parables, Part 1"
Luke 14
Our sermon today, found in Luke 14, comes from a collection of stories that were taught by Jesus.
We have been looking at a number of Jesus' stories in the last few weeks, seeking instruction for our lives today. The themes we have considered so far are:
1. The Hidden Treasure - we should dedicate ourselves to the most important thing in life: the Gospel.
2. The Samaritan - we should serve the very ones in life who are most challenging to serve.
3. The Widow & Unjust Judge - we should persevere in prayer, despite all.
4. The Friend at Midnight - we should be shamefully bold in asking God for those things He places on our hearts.
5. The Pharisee & Tax Gatherer - we should humble ourselves before God in prayer

Annual Business Meeting - Feb. 21
The Constitution of Grace Bible Church requires that the term of an elder be three years;
and as a result, three of our elders are scheduled to step down this month:
Wayne Sourbeck, Everett Sollars and Craig McGlassion.
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 next Sunday'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 also 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 a Dessert. If you have any questions please see Jacque or Everett Sollars.
