MEASURING UP: AM I DOCTRINALLY SOUND? Ephesians 4:1-7, 12-16 January 8, 2016 We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knitted together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love. Ephesians 4:14-16 1.
We Must Desire Spiritual Maturity Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Peter 2:2-3
2.
We Must Develop Our Spiritual Maturity All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doc trine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction and righteousness. II Timothy 3:16 NKJV
3.
We Must Demonstrate Our Spiritual Maturity Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to His word; instead put it into practice." James 1:21, TEV
Whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything." James 1:2-4 NLT
WEDNESDAY MEAL AND PROGRAMMING Join us on Wednesday evenings beginning again after the first of the year for our Recharge fellowship dinners! Dinner is served from 5:306:15pm. Donations help cover the cost of the meal. Kids eat free with parents. We would love to have your help preparing, serving and cleaning up from meals. If you or your group are able to help on a Wednesday night, please contact Brian @[email protected]. We will have a Wednesday evening fellowship meal this coming Wednesday. The meal for this week will be a baked potato bar and salad bar.

A Warm Welcome Welcome to Southern Hills United Methodist Church! We are so glad that you have chosen to worship with us today. Before you leave, please take a few minutes to stop by our Welcome Center located just outside the worship center in the Narthex. Our volunteers will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have or additional information you desire about the church. Births The red rose on the altar is in honor of Grayson Daniel Kenady, son of Dan and Laura Kenady, born December 22, 2016 in Cincinnati, OH. The rose symbolizes that a Gift to Missions will be given by Southern Hills United Methodist Women, with the prayer that this child grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and be a blessing to the home, church and community in which he/she lives. Proud grandparents are Mary Kenady, Dan and Lynn Kenady of Lexington, and Larry and Phyllis Harwood of South Carolina. Welcome This morning we welcome Sid and Sharon Campbell to our congregation. They are joining at the 11:00 a.m. service in the sanctuary.
