Promises and Patience. Genesis 21:1-5


Have  you  ever  had  to  wait  for  something  you  really  wanted?   

It’s  really  hard  to  wait  for  something  isn’t  it? And  the more  you  want   something,  the  harder  it  is  to  wait!  But,  when  you  finally  get  it,  it’s  really  great,  isn’t  it?   

Yeah,  we  all  hate  to  wait,  but  we  love  it  when  the  wait  is  over  and  the  wait  makes  the  gift   even  greater! 


A  long  time  ago  God  promised  Abraham  that  He  would  give  him  and  Sarah  a  child.   You can find this story in the book we are studying!   GENESIS!  

   Abraham  and  Sarah  were  quite  old  and  well  passed  the  age  of  having  children.  The   Bible  says  that  Abraham  trusted  God,  but  that  didn’t  make  waiting  any  easier.  It’s  hard  to   wait  for  something  even  when  we  know  it’s  coming.  It’s  like  when  you  know  you’re  going   to  get  something  great  for  your  birthday,  but  it’s  still  hard  to  wait!



Great job using your gifts this past Sunday!   I am so proud of you!

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength!

Calling all prayer warriors! As you pray today, please remember Ashleigh. Mark 11:24

Crenshaw Kids and families please keep our Ashleigh in your prayers.  Ashleigh was admitted into Children's Hospital at Richmond,  VCU on October 17.  Ashleigh joined us a few months ago in Sunday School and she needs our voices.   Ashleigh is in the 6th grade at Kenston and loves music and drama, cheering and just enjoys life with friends all the time! From Mom yesterday: Update on Ashleigh she is still dealing with pressure on her brain which is still causing a lot of things going on with her body. She is still having issues with talking and seems to be favoring her right side more than left side. She has had some occupational therapy and physical therapy should be in here today. The neurologist said that they will keep her on the medication for the pressure a couple of more days and may possibly have to do another mri at the end of the week to see how things are doing. We are seeing very small improvements and are taking things day to day right now. She hasn’t had anymore fever

“Snowbody” loves YOU like JESUS party! Isaiah 1:18. 100 plus Kids, teens and adults enjoyed June 14th fun!

Just like God can make a beautiful snowflake out of a speck of dust, He can make something beautiful out of us too when we go to Him for forgiveness and ask Him to cover our sins white as snow! “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”   Isaiah 1:18 Is that automatic?  No…we have to choose and be willing to take a bath or shower to get clean, don’t we?  It doesn’t just happen like an automatic human car wash! 1 John 1:9 says  “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” This means we have to ask; we have to admit we are wrong and we need God to make us right and clean.  When we do, He promises to forgive us and purify or cleanse us. When the snow falls, it covers things; it covers the ground, the leaves on the trees, our roofs and our cars.  Then everything looks white! Well, God
