Luke 15:1-32 (KJV)
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Hebrews 1:1-3 (KJV)
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
Proverbs 8:22-31
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Matthew 7:1-12 (KJV)
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Dear brethren, let us fervently pray for a time of spiritual blessing in this week’s church camp. Please also pray for the safety of all campers throughout the camp.
Daniel 7 (KJV)
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Matthew 6:19-34 (KJV)
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
(1) His Eye Is On The Sparrow
The hymn “His eye is on the sparrow” was written to encourage all who are some times tempted to be discouraged. Circumstances, sorrow, or trial come upon us and we can lose the joy and courage that should be ours.
This hymn was inspired by a couple, the Doolittles of Elmira, New York. For twenty years, Mrs. Doolittle had been confined to bed as an invalid. Her husband, a partial invalid, managed his business from a wheelchair.
One day, the evangelist Dr. W. Stillman Martin and his wife came to visit them. Together they had written the beautiful hymn “God Will Take Care of You,” with Mrs. Martin writing the words and Dr. Martin the music.
The Martins were deeply impressed with the joyful spirit that the Doolittles maintained in spite of their adversity. “What is the secret of your joy?”, Dr. Martin asked. “His eye is on the sparrow,” Mrs. Doolittle replied, “and I know He watches me.”
Daniel 6 (KJV)
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Matthew 6:1-18 (KJV)
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
