January Birthdays 8 Tanielu Ia (2001) 12 Javier Mendoza 13 Rosella Himm 14 Renato Franco   A challenge to the congregation from Pastor Richard: Since we are studying Romans, I would like all of you to memorize this portion of scripture: Romans 5:1-5 V1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, V2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. V3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; V4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. V5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.   The Hope of the Not Yet by Max Lucado He is building a house for you. And with every swing of the hammer and cut of the saw, he's dreaming of the day he carries you over the threshold. "There are many rooms in my Father's house; I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you may be where I am." John 14:2-3 Pray this week for the following people: I Love the Lord because He hears my prayers and answers them. Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I breathe!
