Every once in a while something happens that amazes me. This

past Sunday we were scheduled for our annual picnic and baptism

service at Thousand Hills State Park. This is our tenth year and we

have never been rained out. The forecast showed a chance of rain, but

nothing major. That afternoon, it poured down rain with lots of lightning and

thunder. Around four in the afternoon, the blackest cloud rolled through, and

the rain followed. At five o’clock, I drove out to the park in a continuous

rain. At the shelter, there were several gathered getting things ready for the

picnic. When I arrived, I anticipated a lot of down faces and deep pessimism

about the prospects for the service and picnic. Instead there was an air of

anticipation. We looked at the radar on our smartphones and thought we

might have a window of opportunity. So, with the rain still falling, the ham-

burgers and hotdogs were put on the grill.

Surrounded by dark clouds we gathered at the beach for the service,

and it and the baptism went off without a hitch. The picnic was then ready,

and we had a great time of celebration, fellowship and of course, eating.

At 4 o’clock that afternoon I was ready to face the prospect of needing to

cancel the event. That was not God’s plan. He gave another weather win-

dow of opportunity, and I believe we may have held one of the best services

to date.

I know God is good, but often His goodness in simply amazing.

THANK YOU!

I want to thank all of our Sunday

School teachers and their assistants.

Without their dedication and willingness

to step up and take a leadership role in

the area of teaching, our church would

be lacking in the education department.

We recently have had some new

teachers come on board, and I am so

grateful for them filling in the gaps.

Some of you may not realize the

hours of preparation every week that our

teachers do in order to be prepared for

class. I would encourage all class

members to read their lesson every

week. That way, you will be prepared,

be familiar with the material the teacher

is presenting, and you can more

effectively engage in class participation.

And remember to pray for your class

and teachers. If you aren’t already a

member of a Sunday School class, see

me and we can find a good fit for you.

So, please give a big thank you to the

Sunday School teachers you encounter.

I’m sure it will brighten their day!

Thank you teachers and assistants!!

See you in Sunday School!

Extravaganza!Sunday, July 13

5:30 pm: Asian supper

6:00 pm: Missions Share TimeOn Sunday July 13 we will kick off our Missions Extravaganza with an Asian

Meal prepared by several Truman students from different places from Asia. It

will be a great time to meet some people from the other side of the world as well

as taste some real Asian food! Greg Xander is heading this part up! There is a

sign-up sheet in the foyer so we can have a general idea how much food needs to

be prepared.

Then, we will hear from Mae Crawford, who is a Truman student who worked

at a university in an Asian country while sharing the Gospel. Mae spent 7 weeks

in East Asia last summer with CRU and is getting ready to return to East Asia for

a year.

Our own Dana Marshall will be sharing about her trip to the Philippines when

she went with Samaritan’s Purse. Then you will hear about HSBC’s trip to

Omaha, Nebraska. It will be an evening you won’t want to miss!

The purpose of the Church is to glorify God by fulfilling the Great Commandment

(36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart

and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your

neighbor as yourself.’ 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40)

and the Great Commission

(18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples

of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey every-

thing I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20).

LOOKING FOR SOME NEW

CHOIR MEMBERS!

The Marine Corp has a saying: “We

are looking for a few good men.” Well,

I am looking for a few new choir

members. Choir meets on Sunday’s at

5:00 p.m. and practice lasts for only 45

minutes. If you feel led to join us, we

will resume regular practices on Sunday,

August 3.

We have a good time of fellowship,

prayer, and singing during practices. So,

come and check us out. You just might

find that you like it!

Also, I want to remind everyone that

Senior Songsters will be performing their

summer patriotic cantata at HSBC on

Sunday, July 6, at 6:00 p.m. Several

members of the choir are HSBC

members, so please plan to come. It’s

all about America! The songs we

sing…the land we love. I promise that

you will enjoy this presentation!

See you in worship! Ben Austic,Ben Austic,Ben Austic,Ben Austic,Ben Austic, 11am Music Minister

Sometimes the beauty of a song is

not found in its soaring melodies, driving

rhythms or rich harmonies. Sometimes

the lyrics stand on their own.

“Man of Sorrows”, written by

Brooke Ligertwood and Matt Crocker,

is a new song in our second-service

repertoire. It is a plain song. It has no

catchy melody. It doesn’t build to a

dynamic crescendo. It’s not a song

designed to grab your emotions.

Interesting, isn’t it?... That’s how

Jesus was described in Isaiah 53:2b. “He

didn’t have an impressive form or

majesty that we should look at Him, no

appearance that we should desire Him.”

He was plain. He was not fancy. He was

much like this song.

I hope that this song will become one

of our standards here at Hamilton Street.

I hope that you enjoy its simple richness

as much as I do.

MAN OF SORROWS

Words and Music by Brooke

Ligertwood and Matt Crocker

Verse

Man of sorrows Lamb of God

By His own betrayed

The sin of man and wrath of God

Has been on Jesus laid

Silent as He stood accused

Beaten mocked and scorned

Bowing to the Father’s will

He took a crown of thorns

Chorus

Oh that rugged cross

My salvation

Where Your love poured out over me

Now my soul cries out

Hallelujah

Praise and honor unto Thee

Verse

Sent of heaven God’s own Son

To purchase and redeem

And reconcile the very ones

Who nailed Him to that tree

Bridge

Now my debt is paid

It is paid in full

By the precious blood

That my Jesus spilled

Now the curse of sin

Has no hold on me

Whom the Son sets free

Oh is free indeed

Verse

See the stone is rolled away

Behold the empty tomb

Hallelujah God be praised

He’s risen from the grave

rooms at the end of the hallway will be

Twin PinesTwin PinesTwin PinesTwin PinesTwin PinesEvery Tuesday at 9:30 am

In Sunday School we are studying

the book of Ezekiel. In chapter 8, God’s

spirit takes Ezekiel from Babylon to

Jerusalem to see what is going on. He

went to the temple, and was told to see

what is going on. “So I went in and

looked and I saw portrayed all over the

walls all kinds of crawling things and

detestable animals and all the idols of

the house of Israel. In front of them

stood seventy elders of the house of

Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan

was standing among them. Each had a

censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud

of incense was rising.” (v 10-11).

Ezekiel was horrified at what we saw,

but he makes note of one person. Who

is this Jaazaniah son of Shaphan?

Before we can answer that, we need

to know who Shaphan is, and for that,

we need to go to 2 Kings 22. There we

see that Shaphan was the secretary to

King Josiah. Josiah sent Shaphan to the

temple to talk to the priest, and the priest

told Shaphan that while cleaning the

temple they found the Book of the Law.

Shaphan was the person who read the

scroll to King Josiah. Josiah was upset,

and realized how far the country had

turned from God. A revival broke out

during the time of Josiah, but it was too

late. Not too long afterwards Josiah was

killed in battle. About 14 years later the

King of Babylon came and took

prisoners, amongst who was Ezekiel.

So who was Jaazaniah? He was the

son of the secretary of the king.

Jaazaniah witnessed a great turning to

God. Yet, he got so busy that he forgot

to pass the faith along to his son. There

is significance to his name being

mentioned, as it shows how quickly the

faith can be lost within a generation. It

wasn’t like there wasn’t anyone

speaking the Word of the Lord.

Jeremiah was in Jerusalem encouraging

the people to be faithful to the Lord, and

yet pronouncing that judgment was

coming because the people had turned

from the Lord. The Jewish people were

religious, but other gods seemed more

interesting and stronger than the one true

God.

Let’s be in prayer for our families as

they attempt to be intentional and

relevant in passing along the faith. It’s

not easy. There are many other things

that seem stronger and more interesting

than the one true God. God at times is

made out to be a relic of ancient

mythology, and we need to be sure that

we are counteracting that. We need to

find ways to share our faith with the next

generation, so we don’t have more

Jaazaniah’s who give lip service to God

but in reality don’t know Him in their

hearts.

[email protected]

I have written on this text in the past,

but I feel it is worth mentioning again. 

1Timothy 4:12 states, “Don’t let anyone

look down on you because you are

young, but set an example for the

believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith,

and in purity.”  Paul is encouraging

Timothy to be the right kind of example,

not only to his peers, but also to his

elders. 

I realize that Timothy was not a

teenager at this point; most likely he

would have been in his early to mid-

thirties, but the context of Paul’s message

here is just as valid for our teenagers

today.  In a culture that is over saturated

with celebrities gone wild, it is so

refreshing to spend several hours a week

with the Youth of HSBC who are

genuinely seeking God in their lives.  We

have many who have been Christians for

some time and we have several who are

still trying to figure it all out.  The

increasing depth of our Bible studies and

the growing maturity of our kids continue

to encourage me. 

We have many in our group that are

showing themselves to be talented

musicians, some who are aspiring

theologians, and many others who are

encouragers and friend-makers.  I look

at our Youth and while I grieve many of

the issues they face in today’s culture, I

see them being the examples that Paul

challenged Timothy to be; that God

challenges us all to be.  May God

continue to bless the Youth of HSBC. 

Talking to your

Child about SexSunday, July 27 @ 9:45am

in the Fellowship Hall

Led by

Sarah Mack and Tabitha Cleaver

When and how should we tell our

children about the “birds and the bees”?

If we wait until they are teenagers, we

have probably waited too long.

In today’s sex saturated culture, we

can’t afford to wait, as they will pick up

messages that probably aren’t from a

Christian perspective. Sarah and Tabitha

will introduce you to some resources that

are age appropriate, come from a

Christian perspective, and reinforce

concepts such as marriage between a

man and a woman, and sex is for

marriage.

There are several levels, and they

are designed to start with children as

young as 5 years old. This is a great

class for parents who have kids between

the ages of 5 years old to 11 years old

and would like some help in this topic.

URGENT CALL TO PRAYERfrom

Anne Graham Lotz

Blow the trumpet…sound the

alarm…for the day of the Lord is

coming. It is close at hand— Rend

your heart and not your garments.

Return to the Lord your God…

~Joel 2:1, 13

Join Anne Graham Lotz and

thousands of other followers of Jesus

Christ across our nation and around the

world, as together we return to the Lord

our God, rend our hearts, repent of our

sin, and cry out to God for His mercy on

behalf of our nation. Before it’s too late.

Pray! in the 7th month, July

Pray! on each of the first 7 days of July

Pray! and fast on July 7th for 7 hours

(of your choosing)

The Purpose:

• For God the Father to restrain,

protect, and deliver His people from the

evil that has come into our world.

• For God the Son to be exalted,

magnified, and glorified in His church,

in our nation, and in our lives.

• For God the Holy Spirit to fall on us

in a fresh way, compelling the church to

repent of sin and our nation to return to

faith in the living God, resulting in a great

national spiritual awakening.

Who is going on the mission trip?

What will we be doing? Eight families

from our church will be going. Our main

focus will be with the Prince of Peace

Baptist Church in northern Omaha,

which is a predominantly African-

American church.

On Sunday, July 6, we will join them

in their morning worship, and then that

evening we will help with a Block Party.

Then July 7-10, we will be putting

on a VBS from 6-7:30 for children, teens

and adults. There will be supper provided

for everyone afterwards.

During the day there will be two

other options. There is some light

construction work that needs to be done

at the Prince of Peace Baptist Church.

We will also be assisting a church

start called Changed Life Church and

we will be assisting them in handing out

material or other items to get word out

that they exist.

Be praying for this church start that

is only about 1 year old. Also, be praying

for safe travel and that we will be

prepared to share God’s Word with

anyone that God brings our way.

of Jesus. As special agents, they will examine eyewitness reports, physical proof, and biblical accounts to uncover and defend

the truth about who Jesus really is.

During the week kids will learn to trust God through Bible stories, crafts, motivating music, and games. The investigation

begins July 27th through 31st, 2014, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm for ages 3 through Youth.

For more information or to volunteer call Lisa King.

But honor the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you a reason

for the hope that is in you. 1 Peter 3:15
