on Roebuck Parkway

A New Brother

We rejoice with Charles Johnson and his decision to be baptized into Christ this past Monday morning. Charles had been visiting the services because a friend and co-worker, Frank Montgomery, had invited him to Roebuck Parkway. What an example of “Friendship Evangelism!” Brother Leroy Owens studied the Bible with Charles and im-mersed him into Christ. Be sure and welcome our new brother!

Happy Mothers Day!

We are happy to have many mothers and grandmothers in our presence today. We are sometimes guilty of not appreciating a mother’s worth and influence, but today we stop and remember how special they really are. Be sure and communicate your love and appreciation for the special women in your life who are mothers and grandmothers!

Mission Sunday

In just three more weeks, on June 3, we will have our annual Mission Sunday. On this day every penny given in the contribution will go toward missions. Be sure to give thoughtful prayer and consideration to how you’ll participate and know that your contri-bution will go to the most important work in the world!

“In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: 'Set your house in or-der, for you shall die and not live” (Isaiah 38:1). Just prior to this time Sennacherib king of Assyria had come down against Judah and threatened to destroy them. Hezekiah had prayed to God that he would “deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou alone, O Lord, art God” (II Kings 19:19). God answered Hezekiah’s prayer and the angel of the Lord destroyed 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. But the joy of that great deliverance was interrupted for Hezekiah with this illness for which God told him there would be no cure. As before, when this great king was faced with obsta-cles that he could not overcome, Hezekiah took his concern to God. “Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, 3 and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly” (Isa. 38:2, 3). I believe that anyone of us in a similar situation would have reacted in the same way and that we would have gone to God in prayer. Yet could we all say that we could make an appeal to God upon the same basis as Hezekiah? Hezekiah was not a perfect man but he was a man who had tried to live for God and do what was right. And all that he can do in his prayer is to ask that God would remember him as one who walked in truth, with a loyal heart and did what was good in God’s sight. God immediately sent Isaiah back to the king with this word, “Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years” (Isaiah 38:5). God hears our prayers. God’s ears are not dull that He cannot hear (Isa. 59:1). God sees our tears. God knows our sorrow. When our hearts are broken He sees. David said, “Thou hast kept count of my tossings; put thou my tears in thy bottle! Are they not in thy book?” (Psalms 56:8). God heals. He heals us of our greatest problem – sin! Our appeal to God for that healing which we need is based not upon our own goodness but upon the goodness of the One who died for us. Jesus lived the perfect life (Heb. 4:15) and gave that life that we might be forgiven and be declared righteous.
