And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick (Matthew 14:14).
Commentary
Four times in the gospels we are told that Jesus was “moved     with compassion” as He looked at the plight of humanity under the curse of sin. He wasn’t filled with hate or disgust toward them, He was broken, and His heart went out to them. In one place, He viewed these broken humans as “sheep without a shepherd.” Compassion for others must be high on God’s list of godly qualities—the word is used twenty times in the NT!

Ladies’ Bible study on Wednesday at 10:30 am. Meet in the JOY classroom. See Marilyn Kottemann for more information.

Our monthly luncheons resume this month. This time it is simply potluck. Bring whatever you want. Bring enough for your family, plus one person. The meal will be on January 25th after the morning service. This is a wonderful time to fellowship and get to know one another a little better.

I just want to thank those of you who have been praying for our family during this time. Prayers are truly appreciated and still needed as Robert continues to heal from his surgery. Sincerely, Robert, Terrie and Naomi Searle.

More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb (Psalm 19:10).
Commentary
Because the words of God contained in Scripture are perfect, sure, right, and pure, we should greatly desire to read, understand, and hear them preached and taught. Having them is far more important than having gold and sweeter than honey. Let God’s word greatly impact your life in 2026!

Welcome to 2026, the Ladies’ Bible study will resume this Wednesday, January 7th at 10:30. Meet in the JOY classroom. See Marilyn Kottemann for more information.

Memory Verse
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God
(Psalm 20:7).

Before an army goes into battle, lots of plans and preparations must be made. Weapons, equipment,
food, armor, medical supplies—the list is probably a mile long. In Psalm 20, even though King
David made sure that everything on that list was taken care of, there was one more item on his list
that was not on the list of his enemies—and that was seeking the help of the One True God! When
we face the future with prayers to Him and with faith in His great name, He will see us through to
victory!

There will not be a Ladies’ Bible study class this Wednesday to the holidays.

Adelheid Muller ………………………………………………………….. 30th

Throughout the month of December, we are asking all of you to give a special offering (above your
regular giving) to help us end the year in good shape financially. This is very important to the
continuation of God’s work. And as we give, we will remember the words of Scripture: “God loves a
cheerful giver.” When we all take part joyfully, God will use us to share the Word faithfully both
here and around the world.

Men’s prayer breakfast will be this Saturday, January 3, 2026. It starts at 9 am in the Fellowship
Hall, cost is $5.00.
