WCFC was honored to have the folks at New Life Fellowship's Life House to come minister to us Sunday night. The singing and preaching was really good. They performed the drama "Set me Free" by Casting Crowns and also "Till the Whole World Hears". It was very moving and glorified the Father. Thank you everyone who visited.
Some of the young people gave powerful testimonies. One special young man said that every time in his life that he'd felt like he had been thrown away, the Lord would send somebody who would speak life into him. Such an awesome testimony of what God can do, and about His relentless and everlasting love and grace!!! A precious lady testified that she found that nobody or nothing could help her--nobody but Jesus. Her scripture is Is 61:3, ....'to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness'...

Bro. Eric Crews
What a great sermon we had Sunday when Bro. Crews was here. He taught out of Mark 4"35-41.
"Developing the Negative"
We as humans and Christians don't like the 'dark room' but God often puts us there, forcing us to trust Him. Jesus is the Master teacher, and He uses all sorts of ways to teach us. Sometimes He teaches us by His silence, by NOT answering prayer-taking us out of the classroom and on a field trip. These verses show how Christ called His disciples out on the stormy sea.
Look at what Jesus was doing while His followers thought they were bound to perish. He was sleeping on a pillow in the back of the boat during the storm. Remember these men were expert sailors. This storm was sudden, unexpected-like our storms, and it was severe. What did it take to wake up Jesus? It was not the wind and water, but the cries of His children. They asked Him if He even cared about them! Jesus slept, but He didn't oversleep, thank the Lord!
This story is about the storm of doubt in the disciples' hearts. In verse 35 the Lord had said they were going over to the other side, so they already had His word on it, yet they doubted when they saw the violent storm bearing down on them. That's just like us today, isn't it? he asked them why they had no faith? They were to trust Him. Since they'd already seen many miracles, shouldn't they have simply believed He would take care of them this time too? We must learn that God is Lord of all-everything-all the storms of life. Read Is 49:15-16. The Lord tells us 'I have graven thee on the palms of My hands'. He created each of us and He loves us with a love that human beings cannot comprehend. Jesus is a promise-keeper, and we can rest assured that every storm and trial is permitted for our good and His glory.

Prayer Request
Brother Ronnie Cockrell asked for prayer for the father of a friend in Double Springs. Benny Cornelieus is in the nursing home for therapy and they are very concerned that he will regain the will to get better and restore his health. He is about 80 years old. Please remember this family.
Ronnie had shoulder surgery Monday in Winfield. The doctor, Dr. Boyette, has been telling us for more than a year that as this type injury goes, his shoulder was about the worst it could be, and to be prepared for a serious surgery and long, hard recovery. When they got into it, the huge tear was not there! Dr. Boyette asked to see the MRI again in the OR, and Ronnie's shoulder only had a small tear and he fixed that and did a little clean up of bone spurs. He didn't even have to make the incision, just with the scope. We had made our plans to have to somehow deal with this setback the best way we could, but looks like the Good Lord had other plans. He has no restrictions on what he can do, and only a little therapy to take. Praise the Lord!! As Bro. Smith said, "this is truly a miracle straight from the Lord". Amen!
Like most families, we have been in the midst of some rough storms and our faith has been severely tested and tried in the fire. We are thanking God for coming through for us, when He did, and in due season. You can never outthink or outgive God~He has a way of showing up at the perfect time, to give us what we need from Him and let the Lord take the Glory for His Amazing Grace. Thank you, Lord.
We have had so many in our church family who have been going through fiery trials, suffering, deaths, storms, and everything the devil can use to come against us in these last days. Let's keep each other lifted up in prayer before the Father, we all need His touch more than we even realize.
