September Itinerary and a Word from Our Family Scott Pauley

God has been so very gracious to us. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and change. Thank you for praying for our family as we have relocated back to West Virginia.

Times of transition remind you of so many truths. For me, one of those has been that God chose the perfect wife for me! Tammy has been so supportive in every way and has made the transition smooth for our home. Morgan, Lauren, and Grant have started the school year in a new school and are doing very well. When we are not on the road, we are all enjoying the opportunity to be near family again.

My dad has pastored the Cranberry Baptist Church in Beckley for the last twenty-six years. This is the church that first sent me to Crown College twenty-two years ago when I graduated from high school. We are truly grateful that they are now serving as our sending church (cranberrybaptistchurch.com).

I praise God for souls saved and numbers of people coming back to the Lord over the last few weeks. The Lord is answering prayers and it is a thrill to watch Him work! We have seen a divine stirring in churches, a holy hunger for revival. May the Holy Spirit continue to do what only He can do.

Pray with me the prayer of the weeping prophet, Jeremiah, in Lamentations 5:21, “Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.” Charles Spurgeon said that the prayers God answers are those that begin with Him. This is His Word. It should be our prayer.

The month of September will be a busy one and we truly appreciate your intercession on our behalf! It would be a joy to hear from you or see you at one of these meetings…

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
