Homecoming at Foothills Community
Homecoming is known to all
of us as a time when we return to
a place that was meaningful to
us; joining with other folks who
we shared time with there, and
renewing friendships that are
dear to us. It is a time of celebra
tion and renewal. This coming
Sunday, March 8th that is exactly
what the family of Foothills
Community Church is planning
to do. It will actually be the first
official “Homecoming” since the
church was birthed 15 years ago.
Lots of the members are now in
other cities; states ... even coun
tries. The very first new believer
in Jesus Christ at FCC is now
serving as a Staff Sergeant in the
Air Force in S. Korea. She con
tinues to serve the Lord; touching
and blessing lives. Yes, many
will be coming back to FCC this
weekend from different direc
tions to join in a time of remem
bering all God did in their lives
during their time at FCC; others
will be away, but truly not forgot-

tor Ben Mock, Chaplain of
the Day, February; 25, 2015
By Pastor Ben Mock
Father, we come to you the
only way we can, in that match
less name and by the merit of
your Son and our Savior Jesus
Christ. We confess our many
faults and sins and transgres
sions we have committed
against you and one another. We
acknowledge that for all the
best efforts of man, this world is
in a mess.
In our generation, all too
often, expressions of love and
deeds of justice are far too few,
and acts of evil and wickedness
are all too many. Our culture is
disintegrating as we turn from
your precepts and ignore your
admonitions. Your design and
desire for the home is under at
tack. We wink at evil and prac
tice that which you call
abomination. We have sup
planted your noble, eternal
truths with fallible, human ide
ologies. So many in leadership
today, at so many levels, lack
personal integrity and spiritual
fortitude.
Please grant, Father, that our
state legislators gathered here
today have moral clarity and
understanding graced with your
wisdom, and that they be bom
from a hunger and thirst for
your righteousness, in and
through your Son Jesus Christ.
Make them servant leaders after
the model of your Son, who
taught us that he that would be
greatest among men, should be
the most humble servant to all.
May this spirit that was in
Christ possess us, that He, being
in the form of God, thought it
not robbery to be equal with
God: but made himself of no
reputation, and took upon him
the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men:
and being found in fashion as a
man, he humbled himself, and
became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross,
where He was made the propi
tiation for our sins, and not for
ours only, but for the sins of the
whole world.
Thank you for highly exalt
ing him, and giving him a name
which is above every name, the
only name by which we can,
and must be, saved: that at the
name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things
under the earth; and that every
tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father. It is in that
beautiful and powerful name
that we pray, with thanksgiving.
Amen.

BULLDOZING
THE
BRAMBLES

Xm. landscaper is capable of creative vision, picturing a beautiful
garden in a patch of weeds. But before you can plant a garden you
have to bulldoze through the weeds and brambles. Many of us
envision a better future. We live in a wonderful land of opportunity
and we are capable of building a good life. Yet, for our future to be
the best possible we must remove the spiritual brambles of fear and
self-doubt in order to build on the foundation of God’s assurance.
God will bulldoze through the brambles and help us plant a
beautiful life. Praise Him at your house of worship.
