            Are most of us guilty, at one time or another, of judging people by their appearance?  An example of that can be seen in an audition of a lady that became famous in her own country and in the United States.  Susan Boyle was a middle-aged, matronly looking lady that auditioned for a TV show called Britain’s Got Talent.  When she walked upon the stage and said she would like to become a professional singer, the audience snickered at her, and even the judges of the show rolled their eyes. However, when this lady started singing, the audience stood in awe at her beautiful voice.  Looks can be very deceiving if that is the criteria by which we judge people.  The Bible cautions us about judging people by their looks.  (John 7:24)

 

            VBS is now a thing of the past, so last Sunday, during our morning worship service, the children performed one of the songs they learned, and we also experienced the VBS activities through pictures in an entertaining video presentation.  The congregation enjoys the young people on the stage—from the antics of our youngest, to the perfection of the oldest.  God loves children, and so does GVCC.  June 24th is the date Randy Jones, representative of Mission to Russia, will be bringing a presentation of their work and the morning message.

 

            “Wisdom Today” was the title of Bro Tim’s message, with scripture from Eccl 9:13-17.  The person who has wisdom has a treasure; it is a gift of God.  Bro Tim, continuing the theme of wisdom, also explained the meaning of the Beatitudes.  Heaven will be worth all of the heartaches and pain we suffer on this earth.

           

The Bible challenge question:  Where did Jesus tell Peter to go find their tax money? (Matt 17:27)
