Do you know an arrogant or prideful person; or are you one yourself?  You know who I’m talking about, one of those people who think they are always right, and perfect every time, and know every answer to everything about everybody, yeah, those kind of people.  The Bible warns us against a prideful and arrogant attitude, and instead tells us we should be humble to others and not set ourselves up on a pedestal waiting to get knocked over.  When we act in an arrogant way, we become low in life and our pride consumes us.  Don’t let this happen to you!!!

Isaiah 2:11 “The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.”

 
Is this the shirt that you find yourself wearing?  If it is, you need to look to the Lord for help, not the mirror.

Next Wednesday
Next Wednesday we will celebrate this Christmas season with Christmas snacks, music, and some testimonies.  It is good to hear from others how important Christmas is to them.  We will also have our UGLY SWEATER NIGHT; so find and wear your ugliest sweater and you will be judged on who has the ugliest sweater for a chance to win a prize!!!!

Do you have the Joy, JOY, joY, jOy down in your heart?  What makes a person tend to be frowning, grumpy, irritated, or just mean and cruel most of the time?  Is it a sign of unhealthiness, maybe their shoes are laced too tight, or maybe even a toothache….Hmmm, I’m just wondering.  I think the Bible has the best answer for this question.  Check out Proverbs 15:13.  It states that “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”  When you know of someone who is a glumb-chumb, it’s more than likely a troubled heart and according to God’s Word, that makes us frown.  If this is you, you neeed to turn that frown upside down and seek God for a cheerful heart.  This way people will see you as a person worth being around instead of avoiding you as a “Dr. Feelbad”. 
This week let’s feel the amphitheatre with joy and excitement and praise the Lord for all He has done.  We are meeting at our regular time of 6:45pm and I look forward to sharing the Word, songs of praise, and lots of smiling this Wednesday night.  So keep your frowns in your pockets or throw them in the trash and let’s show the world through our smiles how important God is to us!!!
