*The Story - Chapter 5 – New commands and a new covenant*
*PRAY FOR THE OFFERING*
I want to share some numbers with you that are not random.
They are targeted, each has a purpose.
*I have a family here that has gone from 3 to 4. Please welcome Justin & Vicki Kildoo.
(Parent Dedication 2nd service only)*
We will be celebrating Baby Dedication the weekend of November 9th & 10th .
However, Justin & Vicki Kildoo could not participate that weekend so we are celebrating their little one right this moment.
Would you please welcome Justin, Vicki, big sister Lili and their newest family member - Braxton Dean Kildoo who was born on May 1, 2013!
We call this time Baby Dedication, but in reality it would be better described as Parent Dedication.
These parents want to make a commitment before God and their church family to do as it says in Proverbs 22:6, “train up their child in the way he should go.”
One day Braxton will take his first steps.
One day he’ll take his first steps of faith, but until that time children need their parents to guide them and show them what it means to love God and to love people.
Proverbs 14:26 says /“He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge.”/
To all parents, I pray you are building a legacy of faith that will have eternal consequences.
*Justin & Vicki, *If you recognize Braxton as a gift from God and you intend to bring your little boy up in the “training and instruction of the Lord,” *please respond by saying, “We do.”*
Do you promise to ask God’s blessings upon your child’s life through prayer and seek God’s wisdom and guidance through careful study of His Word? If* so say “We do.”*
Do you pledge to give this child every possible benefit of life within the Body of Christ, the Church, so that Braxton may grow to know and love Jesus? *If so, say “We do.”*
As ministry partners of this church we have an important responsibility to come alongside these parents in raising their child.
God created the Body of Christ to be one, working together to further His Kingdom.
Do you family, friends and ministry partners recognize this child as a gift from God and do you promise to help this child grow up in a Christian environment by being an example of Jesus to this little one?
*If so say, “We do.”**
*Do you commit to using your gifts to serve this family and come alongside these parents as they strive to raise these children to know and love Jesus? *If so say, “We do.”**
*And do you pledge to ask God’s blessing, protection, and guidance upon Braxton as well as his parents?
*If so say, “We do.”**
Let’s pray! *
*Here are a few more numbers… **Nine (9) people are in Haiti right now! Let’s pray for Team Haiti! *Currently WCC averages* 1224 people.*
This past year *47 *people have either accepted Christ or joined this church body!
I think that’s exciting!
Here are some financial numbers.
WCC has a total fiscal budget of *$1,748,637.03.*
Divide that total by 52 and that gives WCC a weekly need of *$33,227.35*.
Here are the hard facts.
From the 1st week of July to the last week in September we met that total only three times.
In light of that fact our eldership has reduced our current budget by *$92,597*.
We now have a new weekly need of *$**30,240.33*.
That new number is a bit of relief, but it also makes me sad.
It simply means that ministry we wanted to accomplish for God can’t be done.
Let me give you another number.
10 – 10%.
Give God 10% of your yearly salary.
*Here’s my vision for the Westerville Christian Church.*
We should reach as many people as possible with the Story of God! What is the Story of God? God made us.
God made YOU!
He wants to be with YOU! Just like Adam and Eve God wants to walk with us like He did with them in the garden.
But they sinned and we’ve sinned and sin stands in the way between us and God!
So God made a way! That’s what the book of Exodus means.
GOD MADE “A WAY OUT!” *Turn in your Bibles to Exodus 19:1! Do you need a Bible?* Don’t forget to fill out your connect card.
Pointview Elementary School is looking for 12 volunteers for their “Trunk or Treat” scheduled for Tuesday Night, October 29, 2013 from 6:30PM to 8:00PM.
If you want to volunteer email Tracy at Tracy.rush@sbcglobal.net.
*Pointview also sent us this.

Dear Westerville Christian Church, /Since God has created you for community and connecting with others, I would like to ask you to connect with Pointview Elementary.
For almost a month now, I have been leaving the staff notes about all the wonderful things that are happening in their classrooms and the work that they do for children in general.
I am asking you to join me in encouraging and connecting with the 65 adults that walk through the doors of Pointview Elementary.
A simple letter of how a teacher has touched your life, your child's or grandchild's life, a note of encouragement, a thank you, or even a funny teacher story, or a simple prayer can make all the difference in the world.
Thank you so much in advance and I look forward to hearing from many of you//.
Pax the Pointview Panther/
On our stage sits 65 envelopes and cards one each for every person who works at Pointview.
At the end of our service would you come get one, write a note and then drop if off in the box in our lobby and we’ll hand deliver them to PAX. *Let’s read Exodus 19: 1-2.*
Which mountain?
Exodus 3 tells us that Mount Horeb is Mt.
Sinai.
This is where the Angel of God spoke to Moses from a bush that burned but wasn’t consumed.
*Find verse 3. (3-4a) Let’s recap.*
/God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh “let my people go.”
God plagues the Egyptians 10 times.
The Israelites leave only to be confronted one last time by the Egyptian army.
God parts a body of water and if you think that’s exciting watch what happens next!/ *Find verse 9. (Read 9-12)*
I can picture Moses saying to the Israelites – you can’t touch this! *MC Hammer gets it*.
*Let’s pause one moment and reflect.*
We don’t like this word – forbidden.
When we hear “forbidden” – we think optional.
/God, who are you to tell me what to do?/ He’s the one who made us.
Moses told the Israelites not to touch the mountain!
What has God told us not to touch? *(Video – Emotional Infidelity)*
All of us in our lives have touched what’s forbidden.
God not only made us, he made a way out!
There is forgiveness.
How is one forgiven?
Believe in Jesus.
Belief implies trust.
Trust in what Jesus did on the cross.
*I would like us to take **COMMUNION** right now.* Servers – please go at this time!
When you hold that bread and that cup remember that Jesus forgives even the forbidden!
*(Pray for communion)*
Sin creates separation.
Forgiveness creates community.
God wants to do something in Exodus 19.
He wants to create a new garden.
Where we could walk together again!
But for us to be with God there are going to have to be some guidelines.
This is all of Exodus 20! We call these the Ten Commandments!
Anyone here like rules?
Some people are rule followers and others are rule breakers.
We often “poo-poo” rules when their original intent was to bring freedom!
*Ed Nandor played semi-pro baseball*.
Semi-pro baseball does not make allot of money so the owners promote gimmicks like selling raffle tickets.
Half the money pays the team's expenses and the other half goes to the winning ticket holder.
One day they held the drawing just as Ed was stepping up to the plate.
The home plate umpire pulled the winning ticket, and then turned to Ed and said.
