Welcome to Ridge Pointe!
It is our hope today that you will sense our love and devotion for God, our love of great worship music to God, and our love of the timeless and powerful Word of God. Have a blessed day as you worship with us!

Memory Verse
“…being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus
Christ…” (Philippians 1:6).

Life Lessons
A common view of this verse is that the sanctification of believers is a guaranteed work of God. In other words, every
child of God will eventually live a holy life. If they don’t, they must not be saved. However, a preferable view is that this is a promise that the Lord will honor and bless the missionary efforts (the “good work”) of the Church (“in you [all]”—the “you” here is plural) in ways far beyond what it can see or understand. Only the return of Jesus (“the day of Jesus Christ”) will reveal it!

Happy Birthday
Madelyn Wood 24th

Church Luncheon
The monthly luncheon for July will be on the 24th. We thought we would try something different and set a theme for our
luncheon. So, for the month of July we are going to say favorite picnic foods. Such as fried chicken and potato salad or
hamburgers and chips, whatever you and your family likes to have on a picnic.

Ladies Brunch
The July brunch will be held on July 9th at 9:30 am. Leslie Turney is hosting, her address is 215 River Bend Trail in Combine, TX. 75159. See Leslie for more information.

Memory Verse
Count it all joy when you fall into various trials (James 1:2).

Life Lessons
There is nothing joyful about trials in and of themselves. The key to finding joy in adversity is where we place our focus. If we concentrate on our circumstances, we will become disheartened and discouraged. But when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we learn to rejoice in our difficulties because God has promised to work through them to strengthen our faith, bring us into closer fellowship with Himself, and teach us endurance.

Memory Verse
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22,23).

Life Lessons
The fruit that grows on an orange tree is amazing. The orange tree pulls moisture and nutrients from the soil and produces fruit. The orange tree does not produce fruit for the orange tree to enjoy, but for OTHERS to enjoy. The same is true for us as believers. We bear the fruit of the Spirit as we walk in fellowship with God by faith in His Son. As a result, the Spirit of God causes this amazing fruit to “grow” in our lives that blesses all those around us!

Happy Birthday

Memory Verse
You, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another (Galatians 5:13).

Life Lessons
In a positional sense Paul could rightly say of the Galatians, “Christ has made us free” (5:1). Yet in an experiential sense he could also say, “you have been called to liberty” (5:13). Negatively, Paul says, do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh. The Judaizers were trying to pervert the freedom of the believers in Galatia into bondage. A believer’s freedom from the Law should never be used as an opportunity for the flesh. Positively, Paul encourages God’s people to serve one another through love. Living by faith produces loving service to others.

Happy Birthday

Memory Verse
We are not children of the bondwoman but of the free
(Galatians 4:31).

Life Lessons
Paul contrasts the ordinary way Hagar bore Ishmael (Gen. 16) and the supernatural manner by which Sarah bore Isaac (Gen. 21:1-8) to show the difference between “salvation by works versus salvation by faith in Christ and His promises.” Although more people may adhere to religions based on laws, only those who trusted in Christ would be “heirs according to the promise” and would receive eternal life (Gal. 3:29).

Memory Verse
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25–26).

Life Lessons
By saying, “I am the resurrection and the life,” Jesus is stating that He is the source of both bodily resurrection and life eternal. The human requirement for resurrection and life is believing in Jesus. As “the resurrection,” Jesus resurrects believers and guarantees the believer glorified pain-free bodies forever. Also, He promises no future spiritual death for the believer: “Shall never die.” The believer cannot lose the life that Jesus gives Him. This is one of the strongest and clearest statements of eternal security in the entire Bible.

Memory Verse
“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isa 53:6).

Life Lessons
Sheep tend to travel together, so if the leading sheep turns aside from the path for grass or some other purpose, usually all the sheep do so. They tend to follow the lead sheep which is often dangerous. Similarly, all Israel had turned aside from following the Lord, from keeping His commandments. The essence of sin is going one’s own way, rather than God’s way. That iniquity had to be punished, so the LORD … laid the punishment for that iniquity not on the “sheep” (Israel and other sinners) that deserved it, but on the Servant (= Jesus) who died in their place.

Memory Verse
Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba Father!” (Galatians 4:6).

Life Lessons
Abba is an Aramaic term for “father” that suggests warmth, closeness, confidence, and mutual delight. God wants to be our Abba, and His highest priority for our lives is an intimate relationship with Himself. So, He sends His Spirit to indwell us to empower us for all the great plans He has for our lives. Because He is loving and approachable, we can call out in prayer to our beloved heavenly Father regularly.

Memory Verse
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28).

Life Lessons
Paul asserted that the ground is level at the foot of the Cross for all people. We all come to Christ as sinners–with the same level of need for salvation. It is only by faith in His grace that we are redeemed. God does not play favorites after we are saved either—neither by economic or social status, nor by the roles we are called to fulfill (Acts 10:34; Rom.2:11). He makes us into a single unit, the body of Christ, and calls all of us to serve Him in obedience.

Memory Verse
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (as it is written, “cursed is everyone who
hangs on a tree.”) (Galatians 3:13).

Life Lessons
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. He did so by becoming a curse for us on the cross. “Redeemed” is the first of two references to redemption in Galatians (see 4:5). The term was used in secular literature to refer to purchasing goods. The Law brought a curse. By His substitutionary death on the cross, Christ brings the promise of blessing to all who believe in Him (v 14). For a born-again Gentile to turn to the Jewish Law in a misguided effort to try to retain eternal life is ridiculous.
