Yet when they turned and cried to you\, you heard from heaven\, and many times you delivered them according to your mercies. 29 And you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet they acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments\, but sinned against your rules\, which if a person does them\, he shall live by them\, and they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not obey. 30 Many years you bore with them and warned them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. 31 Nevertheless\, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them\, for you are a gracious and merciful God. \n32 “Now\, therefore\, our God\, the great\, the mighty\, and the awesome God\, who keeps covenant and steadfast love\, let not all the hardship seem little to you that has come upon us\, upon our kings\, our princes\, our priests\, our prophets\, our fathers\, and all your people\, since the time of the kings of Assyria until this day. 33 Yet you have been righteous in all that has come upon us\, for you have dealt faithfully and we have acted wickedly. 34 Our kings\, our princes\, our priests\, and our fathers have not kept your law or paid attention to your commandments and your warnings that you gave them. 35 Even in their own kingdom\, and amid your great goodness that you gave them\, and in the large and rich land that you set before them\, they did not serve you or turn from their wicked works. 36 Behold\, we are slaves this day; in the land that you gave to our fathers to enjoy its fruit and its good gifts\, behold\, we are slaves. 37 And its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and over our livestock as they please\, and we are in great distress. \n38 [a] “Because of all this we make a firm covenant in writing; on the sealed document are the names of[b] our princes\, our Levites\, and our priests.\n\n\nPraise and Worship: contd..\n\n\nSermon: Sephora Maxo on “Renewed by God’s Faithfulness: A Journey of Repentance\, Mercy and Convenant Renewal\n\n\nBenediction\n\n\n\nAnnouncements:\nEvening Service\n \n\nFrom 5:00 to 6:30 PM\nSermon by Sephora Maxo\nScripture reading: Nehemiah 9-28-38\n\nBaptism: Speak with Pastor Jusuf if you are interested in baptism. \nPrayer Sessions: Time –Wednesday: 7:00-8:30 p.m.; Sundays: 9:45 a.m. \nLIVE STREAMING OF WMBC SERVICES WILL BE ON SUNDAYS @ 10:30 A.M. https://wmbaptistchurch.ca In-person church services commence at 10:30 A.M.              Invite families and friends. \nCelebration Zone on-site- Sundays @10:30 a.m. \nESL Classes: Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the downstairs Fellowship Hall.\nInterested Volunteer teachers\, contact Yvonne.

I told them\, “You are charging your own people interest!” So I called together a large meeting to deal with them 8 and said: “As far as possible\, we have bought back our fellow Jews who were sold to the Gentiles. Now you are selling your own people\, only for them to be sold back to us!” They kept quiet\, because they could find nothing to say. \n9 So I continued\, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our Gentile enemies? 10 I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let us stop charging interest! 11 Give back to them immediately their fields\, vineyards\, olive groves and houses\, and also the interest you are charging them—one percent of the money\, grain\, new wine and olive oil.”\n\n\nPraise and Worship: contd..\n\n\nSermon: Sephora Maxo on “Nehemiah 5”\n\n\nBenediction\n\n\n\nAnnouncements:\nEvening Service\n \n\nFrom 5:00 to 6:30 PM\nSermon by Sephora Maxo on ‘Nehemiah 5’\nScripture reading – Nehemiah 5\n\nBaptism: Speak with Pastor Jusuf if you are interested in baptism. \nPrayer Sessions: Time –Wednesday: 7:00-8:30 p.m.; Sundays: 9:45 a.m. \nLIVE STREAMING OF WMBC SERVICES WILL BE ON SUNDAYS @ 10:30 A.M. https://wmbaptistchurch.ca In-person church services commence at 10:30 A.M.

It was about noon. \n7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water\, Jesus said to her\, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) \n9 The Samaritan woman said to him\, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a]) \n10 Jesus answered her\, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink\, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” \n11 “Sir\,” the woman said\, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob\, who gave us the well and drank from it himself\, as did also his sons and his livestock?” \n13 Jesus answered\, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again\, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed\, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” \n15 The woman said to him\, “Sir\, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” \n16 He told her\, “Go\, call your husband and come back.” \n17 “I have no husband\,” she replied. \nJesus said to her\, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is\, you have had five husbands\, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” \n19 “Sir\,” the woman said\, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain\, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” \n21 “Woman\,” Jesus replied\, “believe me\, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know\, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth\, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit\, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” \n25 The woman said\, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes\, he will explain everything to us.” \n26 Then Jesus declared\, “I\, the one speaking to you—I am he.” \nPraise and worship contd. \nMessage: “Personal Encounter With Jesus” by Pastor Gunn \n \nChristmas box deadline for collection is November 13.

It was full of large fish\, 153\, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them\, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him\, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came\, took the bread and gave it to them\, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. \nSpeaker:  Pastor Gary \nMessage Title – “Breakfast on the Beach” \nCell Groups: \n-Gary Hockridge and Hercules Tupas\, E.

If you remain in me and I in you\, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me\, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up\, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you\, ask whatever you wish\, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory\, that you bear much fruit\, showing yourselves to be my disciples. \n\nGod’s Tithes Our Offering: E-transfer to: wardoffering@gmail.com; questions\, contact Vanessa @ +1 (778) 837-7408\, or vness.lal@gmail.com \nCan also drop off in mail slot at church or send by mail. \nPraise and Worship Contd.  \nMessage by  Bro.Chris Lim on John 15:1-8 \nBenediction \nBaptism: Speak with Pastor Jusuf if you are interested in baptism. \nWMBC is… \n(Vision Statement) “Making God known by sharing the Love of Christ.” \n(Mission Statement)“Transformation”- Romans 12:2 (Vision Statement) \n– All are welcome at WMBC \nPrayer Sessions: Time –Wednesday: 7:00-8:30 p.m.; Sundays: 9:45 a.m. \nANNOUNCEMENTS \nLIVE STREAMING OF WMBC SERVICES WILL BE ON SUNDAYS @ 10:30 A.M.

They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. \n8 In the very same way\, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies\, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. 9 But even the archangel Michael\, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses\, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said\, “The Lord rebuke you!”[c] 10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand\, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them. \n11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. \n12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts\, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain\, blown along by the wind; autumn trees\, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea\, foaming up their shame; wandering stars\, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. \n14 Enoch\, the seventh from Adam\, prophesied about them: “See\, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone\, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness\, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”[d] 16 These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. \nSpeaker:  Pastor Gary Hockridge \nMessage Title – “Judgment Assured” \nLuke 15:11–32 \nCell Groups: \n-Gary Hockridge and Hercules Tupas\, E.

Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. \n25 “Meanwhile\, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house\, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come\,’ he replied\, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ \n28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father\, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home\, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ \n31 “‘My son\,’ the father said\, ‘you are always with me\, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad\, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” \n\nSpeaker:  Pastor Gary Hockridge \nMessage Title – “A Father’s Heart” \nLuke 15:11–32 \nCell Groups: \n-Gary Hockridge and Hercules Tupas\, E.

Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name that they went out\, receiving no help from the pagans. 8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth. \n9 I wrote to the church\, but Diotrephes\, who loves to be first\, will not welcome us. 10 So when I come\, I will call attention to what he is doing\, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that\, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. \n11 Dear friend\, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him\, and you know that our testimony is true. \n13 I have much to write you\, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon\, and we will talk face to face. \nPeace to you. The friends here send their greetings.
