WHAT A FELLOWSHIP
1 What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
Refrain:
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
2 O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
[Refrain]
3 What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]

God is doing a new thing and taking us to a new level. He calls us to seek him, and he will do miracles in our midst. This year we are praying for miracles in our lives, the lives of our families, and our Church family. As we pray and seek His face, we are going to give God Majestic Praise along the way. The song writers said it: I seek a miracle every day and I just want to Praise him.

Sermon Title: “You can call me JOB!"
Scripture: James 5:11
“Fireside Chat” Questions
- Why is it important to you to call yourself “Job”?
- What implications as a believer comes along with such a name change and understanding of what you have or are going through?
- A Job experience has been had by Moses, David, Paul, and many biblical characters. Where does their experience come into your storyline?
- Have you, in your journey, asked God for a "WORD" to address your situation? Why or why not?
- What does it mean to look at not only the beginning of Job's life
but also the ending of Job's life Howby doing this changes your
perspective on what you're going through?
- Are your priorities in life correct? What is your aim in life?
- Can you make sense of suffering in your life given what you have
heard about Job's Life?
- Is suffering in your "tool kit" for your spiritual maturity?
Listening to God’s Word and to God’s messages for you. Make a few personal notes as you listen. Revisit your notes during quiet time spent with the Lord over the coming week. Allow God to crystallize His truths in your life.
