Sunday Sentiments



  • We were packed to the gills Sunday! - 131 people (a lot of guests)


  • We need to have an expanded Sanctuary this year


  • "At One Ment" - is to have right standing with God - favor with God


  • Why: Because natural man is under the curse & wrath of a Righteous, Holy, & Just Sovereign


  • How: by blood = sacrifice


  • The Peiffer children have really grown!


  • It was a joy to worship with the entire Creath family!


  • Great to see Ralph & Heather & the children


  • The Bible is a Blood Soaked Book - OT-362x, NT-92


  • Happy Birthday Benjamin & Julia!


  • I loved the Woodsman Dance!


  • Pray for German Christian Homeshcooling Families


  • The dual purpose of the blood:
    1) to SATISFY God in his Horrification with sin 2) to HORRIFY man in his Satisfaction with Sin


  • The trip to camp Echeconee was exciting! We're going to have a blast this year!


  • The OT Father/Husband walked away feeling the weight of his sin & that of his family


  • Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!


  • Congrats John & Whitney on the advent of another Creath!


  • Justice satisfied, The Price Paid, Mercy Available


  • The blood satisfies God’s need for Justice & my need for forgiveness


  • You are the Way to God, Your blood our ransom paid,


  • In You we face our Judge and Maker unafraid. Before the throne absolved we stand, Your love has met Your law's demand.
    ---E. Margaret Clarkson "We Come O Christ To You"

Sunday Sentiments


A few random thoughts about 'doing life' at CWW these days... (I know this is way overdue!)
  • Small Groups are small & groupy & they are launching quite well
  • I've visited all but one of our groups over the past few weeks & I can honestly say that there isn't one that is the same yet they all were very encouraging & affirming to me
  • I appreciate the collective wisdom God has gifted our leadership team with
  • The Q&A's are great!
  • I've learned & shared more with my children due to the Catechism questions
  • Hayward may be a "baby whisperer" seeing he put two cantankerous babies to sleep in succession two weeks ago
  • I'm thankful for a Church that wants to hear God's Word taught straight up with no apologies
  • Being a part of body life at CWW makes me a better man
  • Norma's broccoli salad is AMAZING!
  • Communion is this week...my favorite service of the month!
  • The 10:30 am prayer time is Church before Church...I love it!
  • The music Sunday was very effective - Thanks James, Joseph, & Zack!
  • Please go to www.CWWMacon.com & listen to "Not Even A Hint" - recommend it to a friend this week.
  • We'll see you all Sunday - Don't forget the German Mission Team will be here as well as the Peiffer family (Jana will bless us with the piano instrumental during communion)
