Every week, the ministers here at the South Green church of Christ write brief articles for the congregation's weekly bulletin. The following is a copy of those articles, which have been adapted to this digital environment. Brief and to the point, these articles are designed to inspire, encourage, and challenge all. We hope and trust you will find them useful.
The book of Joshua is so great. Not only is it “for our instruction…and…encouragement…” (Romans 15:4), it is captivating! Joshua tells us of war and intrigue…victories and losses…warnings and challenges…miraculous signs and wonders (huge fortified walls crashing down, a river drying up for people to cross, the sun standing still, etc.)…it has it all! The …
Do you like “Bulletin Articles?” Well, I do. I always have. Scripturally supported and Bible based articles have always been and continue to be a very effective teaching tool and uplifting.

Happy New Year! How many times have you heard that phrase in the last few days? Most likely, the person saying it to you sincerely desires for you to have a great 2022. Of course, it could also mean that they are just thankful 2021 is gone and a fresh new year has finally arrived… …

When it seems all is lost…remember that the Creator sees us. (Job 34:21; Psalm 33:13-15; Heb. 4:13) When it seems all is lost…remember that this world is not all that there is. (Job 1:6; 2:1; 16:19; Rev. 21:3-4; Matt. 25:46) When it seems all is lost…remember that the Creator sees us. (Job 34:21; Psalm 33:13-15; …

In light of the recent damage and loss caused by tornadoes, I, like you, have watched the news coverage. I heard one elected official say, in an effort to reassure those impacted by the challenges that lay ahead, “You are not alone!” I found comfort and appreciation in this gentlemen’s sentiment.
