Offering Our GiftsMy Shepherd Will Supply My Need arr. Mack Wilberg

My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is his Name;

In pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream.

He brings my wandering spirit back, when I forsake his ways,

And leads me for his mercy’s sake, in paths of truth and grace.

When I walk through the shades of death, thy presence is my stay;

One word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away.

Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread;

My cup with blessings overflows, thine oil anoints my head.

The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days;

O may thy house be mine abode and all my work be praise!

There would I find a settled rest while others go and come,

No more a stranger, nor a guest; but like a child at home.

TODAY IN WORSHIP

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

—Acts 2:42

The earliest followers of Christ did life together. They devoted themselves to one another. Who we are as Christ followers is fully realized in community with other Christ followers.

Learn what it means to know and care for one another and to share life together through one of several Peachtree opportunities.

My daughter, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

— Proverbs 2:1–5

10:00Elise Fischer Higgison Daughter | Born 7/30/14Parents Leslie & Grant HiggisonGrandparents Linda & Ed Higgison; Damaris & Raul Riviero, Jr.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

— Psalm 139:14–16

10:00Ansley Wyatt Simpson Daughter | Born 9/16/14Parents John & Nancy SimpsonGrandparents Mark & Alice Crispin; George & Mary Leigh Gwaltney; Morgan & Liz McAlpin

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 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. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. 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.

— Romans 5:1–5

— Proverbs 2:1–5

— Psalm 139:14–16

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

— Matthew 5:14–16

— Philippians 1:9–11

Middle schoolers, come join us as we head to Ducktown, TN for our annual Winter retreat. We will spend time with our small groups, play paintball or horseback ride, listen to an awesome speaker and enjoy some good worship music. This is a weekend you don’t want to miss! Cost is $175 per student. Contact Drew Adams for more information: dadams@peachtreepres.org.

The Bible can seem like an intimidating book to read. Perhaps you’ve wanted to read the whole Bible but get

bogged down and overwhelmed, not knowing how to get started or how to keep going.

The Read the Book plan will email the reading selections to you each morning, for you to read at your

convenience—on your computer, a tablet, or your phone. Read while waiting in line or between appointments.

No links to click or sites to visit. Only the simple, pure, powerful and eternal Word of God.

Financial Peace University is a 9-week course designed to teach you and your family how to get out of debt, stay out of debt, and manage resources. Normal is broke—be weird.
