STANDING STONE BIBLE

WEEKLY

January 12, 2026

  • Be in prayer for this young gal (Taryn) who was baptized yesterday.  She has been coming on Wednesday nights for eight or nine years.   As Pastor Tim mentioned, Laurie Y has faithfully been gathering neighborhood kids for years and carpooling them to SSB.   Taryn was one of those neighbor girls.  Salt and light.  Laurie was just being salt and light.  And, this young girl is no longer in darkness because of the light of Jesus being shared and believed.  Praise God.  

  • This is the final week to nominate men for either elder or assistant treasurer.  Ask, follow up, and pray.  The nominating committee should really be hearing from you early in the week as we would need to interview these men as well - all to be able to publish by Friday.  Time is short.  But God is big and good and in charge!   So, the pressure is on... but not really.  
    • This is a great time as well to THANK the men that have served.  Obviously those most recently.  Each of our current sitting elders have served for longer than their "required" year.  And, then, Randy Hicks as assistant treasurer.  He has served us longer than many of us can remember.   We have been blessed.  Let the men know that you have been blessed.
    • In addition to nominations, some of you are in charge of a ministry.  Please write up a report to be included in the annual report.  This need not be extremely detailed but should allow one reading years from now to understand what transpired in 2025.  We need this by Friday.    

  • Sunday's message was much about Jesus returning to judge in righteousness.  And, yet, we are in the year of the Lord's favor now.  He gave us mercy... LONG before the justice is to come.  And what amazing mercy we have.  Each of us should be judged.  But, "according to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3).  

  • Friday night is a movie night in room 100 downstairs.  You may invite others.  No need to get a ticket online with a $5 "convenience fee" either - as this is a free event!   Truth Rising is the name of the documentary we will be watching.  See the trailer again HERE.
