April 28-May 4We live in a time when the Church of Jesus Christ has been well established and we are used to talking in terms of large numbers, general conferences translated into scores of languages simultaneously, missionaries serving in diverse countries all over the world and the Kingdom of God on the earth organized unlike any worldly entity. We are used to thinking in terms of the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Church Headquarters, the Conference Center, Temple Square—but in the era we are talking about today, the early part of 1831, none of these things were yet a reality. When Joseph and Emma arrived in Kirtland, Ohio in February, 1831, the successful missionary efforts of Parley P. Pratt and his companions had just doubled the entire membership of the Church to about 250 people!
Away From the Presence Jonah 1:1-16 Message Slides For the bulletin in PDF form, click here. God is Present EverywhereWe Forget to Live Like God is Present EverywhereGod is Gracious and Merciful, Slow to Anger, and Abounding in Steadfast LoveDiscussion Questions1. The main lesson we learn is that God is present everywhere. Yet there are some places we would probably prefer not to go (even if God is with us). Where would you least/most want to be if you were alone: in the ocean, on a mountain, or in space? Any other places?2. Jonah tries to flee from the presence of the Lord (1:2-3), but he is unable because God is present everywhere. What are some indications in the book that reveal God is present everywhere?3. Do you have any challenges with thinking about God being present everywhere? Is this a difficult or a relatively simple concept for you? Explain.4. Have someone read Psalm 139:7-10. This passage talks about God being present everywhere and how this should encourage us. Why should we be encouraged by the idea that God is present everywhere? Have you ever been especially encouraged by this truth?5. The idea that God is present everywhere can also be humbling. Explain why. Have you ever been convicted by the thought that God is present everywhere and knows everything we do and everything we think?6. Explain how Jonah can have correct thinking in 1:9 that God is present everywhere and yet he tries to flee from God's presence. How can his thinking and living be inconsistent? What are some ways your thinking and living can be inconsistent?7. The story is ultimately about God's grace shown to Nineveh but also shown to Jonah. What are some ways we see God's grace toward Jonah in this story? What are some lessons we might apply to our lives from this?8. Jesus thinks of the story of Jonah as pointing to Him when he says, “something greater than Jonah is here” (Matt 12:41). What are some examples of how Jesus succeeds where Jonah fails? How is Jesus greater than Jonah? Why should this encourage us today?Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Montgomery Family On Friday, March 28th, Southeast Asia experienced an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude. The Montgomery family is safe and experienced no damage, though they did feel it. Justin, Angela, Zeke, and Taos ask that we join them in praying for those effected by the earthquake. The death toll is over 1,700. During this time of loss and uncertainty, pray that people look for hope and peace in Jesus.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 03/23 30,039Giving For 03/30 18,053YTD Budget 1,376,589Giving 1,346,687 OVER/(UNDER) (29,902) Silent Auction | Today, 4-6:00 p.m.The Fellowship Youth and College Mission Teams invite you to a Silent Auction Fundraiser today!!

Among the truths he presents in these verses, what would be the truth you would select as your most encouraging? most challenging?If Paul were to point out one of these truths as most critical for the effective ministry of FBC, what would it be?How does it change the way you view yourself to know that “every believer has a role to play” in the cause of the gospel?In verses 21-22, Paul was linking all believers together around the gospel. What can we do as individuals and as a church to build bridges across divisive lines in the body of Christ?Paul starts his letter with grace (1:2) and ends the letter with grace (4:23).

Still in Bed"We read of spiritual efforts, and our imagination makes us believe that, because we enjoy the ideaof doing them, we have done them. I am appalled to see how much of the change which I thought I had undergone lately was only imaginary.The real work seems still to be done. It is so fatally easy to confuse an aesthetic appreciation of the spiritual life with the life itself—to dream that you have waked, washed, and dressed, & then to find yourself still in bed."C.S. LewisHome Church QuestionsRead Philippians 4:2-9. Is there an immediate insight or application you would like to share from the passage or the message?Euodia and Syntyche had to work at their relationship for the sake of unity “in the Lord” (verse 2). What issues tend to divide brothers and sisters in Christ to the detriment of unity?Paul directed these ladies to agree (be of one mind) “in the Lord.” How is this achieved when you have differences with another believer?Life is not always enjoyable. Read verses 4-7 again. What key truths in these verses allow you to rejoice in the Lord “always,” even in circumstances that are not enjoyable?Read Romans 5:1-5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your ability to rejoice in life's irritations and difficulties? What truth from the question above will help you do this?How does verse 6 tell you how to deal with anxiety? How good are you at releasing your anxiety in this way?Verse 7 refers to the peace of God and verse 9 refers to the God of peace. To what degree are you experiencing the peace of God right now? If your heart is not at peace, what truth or promise from Scripture do you need to grasp?As you close your time, pray together that each of you will know the peace of God that passes understanding and display true peace to an anxious and troubled world.Pray for the Unreached: The Burmese in Myanmar (Burma)The Burmese people of Myanmar, numbering over 31 million, are predominantly Buddhist, with only 0.35% identifying as Christians and 0.08% as evangelicals. Their culture blends Buddhism with animistic beliefs, often centered around appeasing spirits called nats. Despite civil wars, ethnic divisions, and ongoing political unrest, the Burmese maintain rich traditions.

Following the Path Philippians 3:17 - 4:1 Message SlidesFor the bulletin in PDF form, click here. The Two Paths •. “the example you have in us” (3:17) •. “enemies of the cross” (3:18) The Nature of the Two Paths “minds set on earthly things” (3:19) “our citizenship is in heaven” (3:20) The End of the Two Paths “their end is destruction” (3:19) “[He] will transform our lowly body” (3:21)Home Church QuestionsDo you have a favorite hike or trail? Our passage is about two different paths. Have someone read Phil 3:17-4:1.What are some ways we should imitate Paul and follow the example he mentions in Phil 3:17? He uses this image of “walking” to describe Christian living (3:17). What are some ways the Christian faith is like walking? Are there any ways you need to start “walking” more faithfully?We learn that many walk as enemies of the cross, and this leads Paul to tears (3:18). How should we respond to those who are on this path?Who are some good examples you have seen that you can follow? Who are some bad examples that many people follow? Explain why.How would you paraphrase or summarize Phil 3:19? What is the nature of the path we should avoid?What does it look like for us to live as citizens of heaven who are waiting (3:20)? What is the nature of the path we are called to follow?What are some specific ways you can follow the path of the cross this week even if it might be a difficult path (at home, at school, at work, in your neighborhood, etc)?Phil 3:21 reminds us that taking the right path today is worth it in the end. How would you explain to someone that following Christ's path is worth it even if it is challenging at times?Pray for the Unreached: The Kyrgyz in Kyrgyzstan - The Kyrgyz are primarily nomadic cattle raisers living on high plateau. Of the nearly 5 million Kyrgyz living in Kyrgyzstan, 99.82% identify as Muslims. Only .09% of the Kyrgyz identify as Christian. The Kyrgyz face many challenges like poverty, water scarcity, and spiritual strongholds. Pray for provision of clean water and the living water of Jesus.

Columbia's city council will hear a presentation Monday at city hall on the convention center feasibility study. It's an issue that has been discussed in Columbia for about 30 years. The feasibility study discussion will take place Monday at 5 pm at city hall, during the council's pre-meeting. Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) director Amy Schneider will be presenting that report, and she joined host Fred Parry in-studio this weekend on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable” to discuss the issue. The report she will summarize is 131 pages. A company best known as CSL, Conventions, Sports and Leisure International, was retained by CVB to conduct the nine-month feasibility study for the potential development of a convention center in Columbia. The 131-page report notes Columbia's population is growing at nearly four times the rate of the state of Missouri. Columbia currently offers about 3,600 hotel rooms, and the report notes there are only two hotels downtown. The report says Columbia attracts 1.7 million visitors annually, generating 3.8 million visit nights and more than $615-million dollars in visitor spending. The report also says that to capture 90 percent of the potential event market, a convention center in Columbia would require 13,000 square foot ballroom and 8,800 square feet of meeting space. The report also discusses the issue of funding. Ms. Schneider tells listeners this is about economic development through tourism. She also notes Columbia is missing some of the larger conventions. “Columbia is really good at the small to mid-size meetings, those 50 to 350 size meetings. If they get any bigger than that, the Wyndham Executive Center, they've changed flags now, they're really one of the only places you can hold those larger meetings,” she tells listeners. Amy Schneider grew up in northeast Missouri's Shelbina, where her father owned a feed and fertilizer store. Her first job was cleaning that store, and she also was a waitress at Shelbina's popular Skyway Café, which was best known for its biscuits and gravy. She says she's always wanted to work in hospitality. She and Mr. Parry also discussed this weekend's busy schedule with True/False and Missouri state high school wrestling championships. They also discussed the 2026 World Cup in Kansas City and what that will mean for Columbia:

The Surpassing WorthPhilippians 3:1-11Message Slides For the bulletin in PDF form, click here. Knowing Christ means I have a new identity (vv.1-6) Knowing Christ means I have new values (vv.7-11) Justification - Righteousness (v.9) Sanctification - Power (v.10) Glorification - Hope (v.11) Home Church Questions1. Our passage is about knowing Christ. How would you explain to someone what it means to know Christ? What are some ways knowing Jesus is similar/different from other relationships we have? 2. In Phil 3:1-6, we learn that knowing Christ means we have a new identity. How should a person's identity change when he/she comes to know Christ? What are some ways a person's identity might stay the same? What has this looked like for you? 3. In vv.5-6, Paul gives a list of reasons why he would have more reason for confidence in the flesh than others. If you were to have confidence in the flesh, what are some items that would be on your list? Do you wrestle with putting too much confidence in the flesh? Explain. 4. In Phil 3:7-11, we learn that knowing Christ means we have new values. In vv.7-8, he says the things he used to consider as gain he now considers as loss. What are some of the “gains” in your life that you consider to be valuable? Are there any “gains” in your life you should re-evaluate so that you value them in a healthier way? 5. Paul says he considers everything as loss compared with the surpassing value of knowing Christ (v.8). What does he mean and how can he say this? Can you say this? 6. Jesus has surpassing worth because we can be justified and made right with God through Him (v.9). Was there a time in your life when you were moved by this truth that God provides the righteousness He demands? 7. Jesus has surpassing worth because we can experience the power of his resurrection even in our sufferings (v.10). How can we identify with Jesus when we suffer so we experience this power? Have you experienced this? 8. Jesus has surpassing worth because we experience the hope of future resurrection through Him (v.11). Why does having this hope of future glorification motivate us to value Jesus now? Pray for the Unreached: The Ansari are a Sunni Muslim group in India, historically weavers and textile sellers, now involved in various businesses. Many live in poverty and face illiteracy, though some have contributed to education and politics. Known for their hospitality, they offer opportunities for believers to share the gospel. Recent efforts have seen some Ansari families come to Christ, but they remain largely unreached. Pray for Indian believers to reach out with love and share the gospel with Ansari families and leaders, revealing to them the love and hope only offered through Christ.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 02/09 36,524Giving For 02/16 19,506YTD Budget 1,164,806Giving 1,152,806 OVER/(UNDER) (12,000)Men's Muster 2025 A car out of alignment is harder to steer, wears down faster, and wastes fuel.

Who has been a role model for you by their commitment to ministry? How has their life challenged you to a deeper life of service?Reflect on your own life. What does it mean to seek the interests of Jesus Christ rather than your own interests (ref. v.21)?Describe the different groups of people within your circle of influence. In what ways are you an example to them of what it means to serve Christ? In what ways do you fall short?Paul's concern for Epaphroditus is described in verse 27, and expressed the sorrow he would experience if Epaphroditus were to die. What does this suggest to you about praying for others? about experiencing sorrow with the loss of a loved one (ref. 1 Thessalonians 4:13)?Paul desired to send these men to strengthen and encourage the Philippian believers. Who can you reach out to strengthen and encourage this week?Pray for the Unreached: People Groups in the United States The United States is home to over 520 distinct people groups, 98 of which are unreached peoples. These include immigrants, refugees, Indigenous communities, and even international students. While many enjoy access to the gospel, language barriers, cultural isolation, and secular influences present significant challenges to reaching some communities with the gospel. Pray for laborers to be sent into these communities, equipped to bridge cultural and linguistic gaps with the love of Christ. Lift up local churches and ministries to boldly engage these groups, providing resources, discipleship, and community.Elder's Retreat: February 21-22Please be in prayer for our elders as they spend time with each other and before the Lord focusing on their Spiritual Responsibility, Personal Accountability, and Leadership of our Body.New to Fellowship?We are so glad that you chose to worship with our Fellowship Family this morning.

GUEST SPOTLIGHT This month's episode features not one but two guests: Lt Col Scott and Lisa Bedrosian, USAF (Ret.). The Bedrosians have been longtime supporters of White Sulphur Springs, OCF's eastern Conference Center located in Manns Choice, Pa. Having had roles there as guests, staff, and volunteers over the years, Scott and Lisa recount some of their cherished memories made at WSS and share how God has used this special home away from home in their lives. https://www.whitesulphursprings.org/ The Bedrosians describe how WSS helped them navigate the challenges of military life through mentorship, Biblical teachings, and a sense of belonging. They share influential anecdotes, like being reminded of their identity as missionaries in uniform, keeping symbolic “rocks” with spiritual truths, and renaming chores “blessings” because of a simple spatula on a dining room table at WSS. Knowing the conference center's spiritually rich and personally challenging programs might be intimidating to some, they also answer the frequently asked question: “But will I have fun?” Interested in having your own impactful experience at a Conference Center? Visit ocfusa.org/experience to learn more about White Sulphur Springs and its sister center Spring Canyon, located in Buena Vista, Colo. https://www.ocfusa.org/experience/ If you would like to share your own story, complete the form on OCF's “Be a Guest” webpage. Alternatively, if you have an idea for a guest or topic we should consider for a future episode of the show, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org. https://www.ocfusa.org/podcastguest/ POINTS TO PONDER As you listen to this conversation with Scott and Lisa, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor: When was a time you were able to truly step away from your daily rhythms to rest and spend time with the Lord? How did that experience affect your day-to-day life? The Bedrosians share a few examples of life-changing advice through connections made at WSS. What impactful advice have you received, and have you shared it with others? Scott calls a stay at WSS an “investment in your family and in your ministry.” What might be the difference that makes your average vacation that kind of investment instead?

Why is it easier to relax in your obedience when you are alone? Or when you are facing a stranger who frustrates you?Paul continues in verse 12 with how they are to continue in their obedience, with “fear and trembling.” What is the “fear” that would cause you to “tremble” about disobedience in those situations?Verse 13 conveys an active participation between you and God that results in spiritual growth. At what times and situations do you find your will to obey the weakest? What does this passage teach you to do in these situations?In verses 14 and 15, Paul relates that living as a Christian blamelessly and without fault (NIV) means doing everything without complaining or arguing. When and with whom is it easy to disobey this command? Why does doing everything without complaining or arguing make you “shine as lights” in the dark places of this world?Shining as lights in a warped and crooked generation requires that you “hold firmly to the word of life” (verse 16). In what ways does radical obedience to God's word bring light into our messed up world?Pray for the Unreached: Arabic-speaking Algerians are descendants of Berbers who converted to Islam after the Arab invasions. They form the majority population, speaking Algerian Arabic and following Sunni Muslim traditions. Many face unemployment, prompting migration to France and elsewhere for work.

For some sports on the Olympic program, it's easy to understand how they evolved: Swim fast, run fast, jump high, score a goal. But sports like artistic swimming? Where did that come from? On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Vicki Valosik, author of Swimming Pretty: The Untold Story of Women in Water, who delved deep in to the world of synchronized swimming to discover its roots--and along the way, she found much more. The book is a treasure trove of rabbit holes, from the connection Benjamin Franklin had to the sport, to water-based lifesaving techniques used by the military. Vicki dives into the lives of the sport's pioneer Annette Kellerman and movie star Esther Williams as she traces the history of the sport from its earliest days to the Olympic stage. You can find out more about Vicki Valosik at her website. Follow her on Insta, Facebook, and X! Also on today's episode, Zeus the horse from the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony is now at Versailles for an exhibit. In Melbourne, someone's created another statue--of infamous breaking athlete Raygun.

Plus, LA 2028 may be more of a US Games than we thought, and there's some cool legacy news out of Tokyo. Milan-Cortina will be a regional Games, and LA 2028 may turn out to be that way too.
