TRANSCRIPT

Volume 42 Number 14 March 31, 2019

More Than Conquerors Rom. 8:37, “Nay, in all these things we are more than con-

querors through him that loved us.” Rom. 8:31-39 is an encouraging

passage that offers us comfort as we cope with various issues of life.

We must never be deluded into thinking that being a child of

God is an easy life. It is not always easy to obey the Lord’s plan for

being saved when all around us there are those who are presenting

easy ways. It is never easy when friends, or even our family, some-

times will oppose obedience to the Lord’s plan. It is not easy to live a

life of purity when there are those who are supposedly enjoying the

good life and enticing us to join in with them. It is not easy to live a

dedicated life to God when the world is beckoning us to walk down

that broad way (Matt. 15:9; Prov. 14:12).

The children of God are not insulated from all the afflictions

common to mankind. Into all of our lives the storm clouds will gather

from time to time. But, God has promised that he will sustain us and

give us the victory (Ps. 55:22; Rom. 8:38-39). He will make us con-

querors (Rom. 8:28).

No one knows what tomorrow holds for us. But whatever oc-

curs, we can face it in the greatest of confidence that in all these

things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

It is an honor to have you join us in worship at the

Northside Church of Christ! Our mission is to save

souls and to help souls stay saved. We extend our

sincere love towards you and we encourage you to take

advantage of the opportunity to have a bible study with

members who are eager to study with you. If you do not

share our like faith, this bible study, as well as your visit

today, offers a two way opportunity: (1) We have the

chance to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ and

the essential steps to salvation. (2) You have the chance

to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized where-

by being added to the Church of Christ. We welcome

you to investigate what you hear and see today. You

will be able to ask your biblical questions and receive

biblical answers that will guide you to make an in-

formed, life changing decision. Thank you for being our

special guest! Please come again.

At Work Ministry

Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?

Matt. 28:19-20 is the great

commission given to members of

the body of Christ. As Christians,

it is our responsibility to Tell,

Talk and Teach others about

Jesus. Telling someone about

Christ will often open the door to

Talk with them about Him. You

can then Teach them or invite

them to Church where they can be

taught. We encourage each Chris-

tian to take advantage of such

opportunities. If you know of a

prospect, and for some reason

cannot conduct a personal Bible

study, please give their contact

information to Bro. and/or Sis.

Oliver or to one of our Leaders.
