Giving Update

THE MINISTRY OF SALEM HEIGHTS CHURCH The ministry of Salem Heights Church is funded entirely by the generous giving of God’s people. You will notice that we do not pass the offering plate; however, there are offering boxes in the back of the auditorium. We have done this so no one gives out of compulsion. We believe from the Word of God that the Spirit of God will lead people towards giving back to God of their first fruits. “...God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9:7) and we know He blesses those who take His Word seriously in every regard. Thank you for prayerfully supporting Salem Heights financially as we desire to reach the lost and disciple the Saints.

“PICTURES THAT HELP PASS

THE BATON” 2 Timothy 2:1-7

Presented by

Pastor Justin Greene

May 18, 2014

In the late 1800s, a distinguished member of the British

Parliament traveled to Scotland to give a speech. On the

way, his carriage became hopefully mired in the thick mud

of a rural road. A young Scottish farm boy suddenly

appeared on the scene with a team of large draft horses.

He quickly had the carriage out of its dilemma and ready

to resume the journey.

The gentleman insisted on paying the young man, but

the lad refused. He was simply being a good neighbor –

and neighbors help each other out when there is difficulty.

The English lawmaker was immediately taken with the

young man and his attitude.

“Are you sure I can’t pay for your time and effort?” the

gentleman asked.

“Thank you, sir, but it was the least that I could do. It was

a privilege to help such an important person as yourself,”

the boy replied.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” asked

the man.

“I’d like to be a doctor, but I doubt that it will happen

since my family does not have the money for such

education.”

“Then I will help you become a doctor,” said the

politician.

And as the years went by, the member of Parliament

kept his promise.

Nearly fifty years later, another famous English statesman

lay dangerously close to death due to pneumonia.

Winston Churchill had become ill while attending a

wartime conference, and England desperately needed his

leadership as Hitler threatened to destroy their nation.

Churchill miraculously recovered because his physician

gave him an injection of a new wonder drug called

penicillin. Penicillin had recently been discovered by the

brilliant medical doctor, Alexander Fleming.

Alexander Fleming was the young boy who had pulled

the stalled carriage from the mud. And the man who

promised to return the favor by sending him to medical

school was Winston Churchill’s father, Sir Randolph

Churchill.

Randolph Churchill saw what no one else had seen in

the face of the young Scottish farm boy. He saw potential.

And his commitment to helping that young man reach his

potential saved the life of his own son nearly half a century

later. And by saving the life of Winston Churchill, indeed,

he may have saved all of England.1

NOTICE THIS

• The Great Theologian uses three pictures to describe a multi-

generational ministry.

• Suffer hardship ... nothing worth doing happens without

opposition.

THREE PICTURES

1. Be careful that distraction does not destroy you.

- Roots seek that which satisfies them.

2. How you get to the finish line matters.

- A last minute disqualification can call into question the

whole race!

3. Those on the front lines get the first taste of victory.

- You never reap in the same season that you sow.

WRAP

• Consider what I say, “Are you with me ... or just watching?”
