Memory Verse
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me (Psalm 3:5).

Life Lessons
Every time you lie down and sleep each night—or wake up each morning—you are enjoying a good gift from God (Psa 127:2). The Lord has given you beneficial rest. He also promises to sustain you, both waking and sleeping, no matter what is going on in your life.

Memory Verse
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand” (John 10:27-28).

Life Lessons
Some commentators make much of the fact that Jesus says of His sheep, “and they follow Me.” They think He is saying that if a person believes in Him, then he perseveres in discipleship. But the context does not support this assertion. Jesus is using figurative language. That sheep hear and follow their shepherd illustrates people believing in Jesus for eternal life. Those who believe will NEVER perish in hell!

Celebration Of Life Service
We will celebrate the life of our beloved sister-in-Christ Jerrie Cook on Saturday March 18, 2023 in the church sanctuary. Visitation will be from 10:00-11:00 AM and the memorial service will follow from 11:30 AM-12:30 PM.

Memory Verse
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24).
Life Lessons
To believe in God the Father one must hear/believe Jesus’ words since the Father sent Him to give this message (see John 5:23). All three major verb tenses—past, present, and future—are used here in reference to the eternal destiny of the believer. Eternal life is the present possession (“has everlasting life”) of all who believe in Jesus. Believers have already “passed from [the sphere of] death to [the sphere of] life” in a positional sense. And those who believe in Jesus are guaranteed that they “shall not come into judgment,” (i.e., they will not appear at the great white throne judgment; see Rev 20:11-15).
Baby Shower
For Aleyna Muller and her baby. Leslie Turney is hosting it. The date of the event is Saturday, March 11, 2023. The address is 251 River Bend Trail in Seagoville. Aleyna is registered online at Amazon and Babylist. Please note: this will be our ladies meeting for March.

Memory Verse
Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:13–14).
Life Lessons
John 4:13-15 negate the idea that saving faith must be continuous or life-long in order to be “true” saving faith. Drinking symbolizes believing (cf. 6:35). One drink, that is, one moment of faith in Jesus, results in eternal life. Jesus specifically denies that one must keep on drinking in order to gain life. The living water is the saving message which once received springs up into everlasting life. A believer will “never” again thirst” for eternal life! Hallelujah!
Baby Shower

Home With The Lord
Our much-beloved sister-in-Christ Jerrie Cook went home to be with the Lord this past Thursday. She was a faithful servant of Christ, a founding-member of our church, and the precious wife of our church elder and friend Jim Cook. Please be in prayer for Jim and the entire family. Jerrie will be greatly missed by all! We will let you know about funeral arrangements once they become available.

Memory Verse
And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life (1 John 2:25).

Life Lessons
God has made a promise of eternal life to any person who believes that Jesus is the Christ. Every verse that offers this life to a believer is a divine guarantee that he or she has it (cf. John 3:16; 5:24; 6:35). It was nothing less than this God-given promise that was called into question by the doctrine of the antichrists. Here John strongly reassures his readers that this promise remains valid.

Memory Verse
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst” (John 6:35).

Life Lessons
Jesus, “the bread of life,” is the source of eternal life to all who partake of Him by believing in Him. The one “who comes to [Jesus] will never hunger.” The one “who believes in Him will never thirst.” These metaphors affirm the fact of eternal security for those who believe in Him. At the very moment of faith eternal life becomes the secure and irrevocable possession of the believer.

Memory Verse
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not
come into judgment, but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24).
Life Lessons
Since “the Son gives life to whom He will” (John 5:21) and since “all judgment” has been committed to Him (5:22), His divinely powerful word is therefore able to call men into eternal life right here and now with a guarantee that they are free from judgment (5:24). This astounding claim makes of this verse one of the greatest of all recorded statements about eternal salvation. If eternal life could be lost, then a believer would “come into judgment”—an impossibility according to Jesus.

Memory Verse
“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13).
Life Lessons
Every believer knows at the point of saving faith that he has eternal life, because the promises he believes guarantee it (cf. John 11:25–26). But the believer is not immune to doubts after he is saved (cf. John the Baptist; Luke 7:18–19). The antidote to such doubts is always God’s promises. These promises can be referred to repeatedly as a fresh source of assurance. No book of the Bible contains more of these straight-forward guarantees than John’s Gospel itself (John 3:16, 18, 36; 5:24; 6:35–40, 47; etc.). All true assurance of salvation and eternal life must rest on the “testimony of God,” for only that testimony has full reliability.

Memory Verse
2 Peter 1:9—–For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
Life Lessons
The Christian lacking the character qualities in vv. 5-7 is nearsighted. He no longer looks ahead to the Rapture, but to the
present world. He is also blind. He is blind to the spiritual realities of life from God’s viewpoint. He also has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. He has forgotten about how merciful God has been in saving him. Such a person needs to draw near to Christ once again, confess his sin (1 Jn 1:9), and grow in Christ’s grace and knowledge.

Bulletin Jan 15, 2023

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
For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:8).

Life Lessons
Do you ever wonder if you are maturing in your walk with the Lord? Peter offers a surefire way to know if your relationship is growing deeper and becoming more fruitful. It is not by the works you do or the sacrifices you make, but by the quality of your character and whether or not you reflect God’s glory in increasing measure.
