"Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." -Matthew 5:9 (NIV) "Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." -1 Peter 2:11-12 (NIV) "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." -1 John 2:15-17 (NIV) As the 2020 election approaches, we believe that as a voter, you should understand and research the issues. Some will have a greater impact on our culture and future of our country than others. We have an allegiance to God and His ways. We have an allegiance as America

"Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart." -1 Peter 1:22 (NIV) If you want to have a dating relationship that turns into a marriage that lasts, you have to put in the work! This week, Pastor Denny breaks down 4 different things that we can do to make your love last. Four Things to Make Love Last: In order to have a lasting marriage, you need to hear with all your heart. Be quick to listen in your marriage! "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." -James 1:19 (NKJV) Make time to listen to and hear one another. The second thing we can do to form a lasting marriage is to forgive with all your heart. The only way you were going to have the power to forgive someone else is to understand how Jesus forgave you. "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." - Romans 15:7 (NIV) "Be kind and compassionate to on

This week, we continue on our series on marriage. If you want to grow in your marriage, we encourage you to dive into God's Word, develop your prayer life, and commit yourself to your church community. "The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”-Genesis 2:18, 24 1. Stay Alert 2. Stay Together 3. Stay Equipped "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." -2 Corinthians 10:3-5 **Choosing** the right person is part of it, but **becoming** the right person is the other part of it! 1. God's Word **The Word Prepares You** "For the word of Go

This week, we continue on our series of marriage. The key to a long lasting marriage is to make love... a verb— something you choose to do, not something you obtain. How can you protect your marriage? 1.) Stay Alert! "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." -1 Peter 5:8 NIV Too many people are idealistic and not realistic. If you aren’t happy now, you won’t be happy when you get married. 2.) Stay Together! "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." -Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations. 3.) Stay Equipped!

Our River Kids have a LARGE goal of raising $10,020.20 for BGMC in 2020. Today, we have an opportunity to hear from Pastor Mark as he shares his heart and vision for world missions and our children. If tomorrow’s world is waiting for our kids, would our kids ever go overseas based on what we are teaching them about missions around the world and by our example of support for missions? "And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth he will certainly not lose his reward." - Matthew 10:42 1.) Teach your kids to care about the world. 2.) Teach them to know about the needs of the world and the lost people of the world. HOW, as parents, aunts & uncles, mentors, etc. do this for our children? 1.) You get behind them. 2.) You pray for the world. 3.) You pray with them. 4.) You give with them.

They can help each other in everything they do.” Solomon goes on to reminds us that like a three-strand cord, we are stronger when we work together as friends.

We can turn to God‘s Word to find safety, security, peace, and direction. In today's message, Pastor Denny closes our current series, "What Kind of People," with advice on how we can prepare for the Rapture. 7 Ways the Church can get Ready for the Rapture: 1.) Return to your First Love (Ephesus) "Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place." - Revelation 2:4-5 (NIV) 2.) Remain Faithful (Smyrna) "I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown." -Revelation 2:9-
