November 15 - "Blessed Are The Sacrificial..."
Pastor Tommy McDearis
First Lesson - Psalms 121:1-5
121
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper;
the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
Second Lesson - Romans 8:35:39
8
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 As it is written, For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Message - Matthew 5:10-12; Judges 6:11-18
5
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

11 Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
12 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.
13 And Gideon said to him, Please, sir, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? But now the LORD has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.
14 And the LORD turned to him and said, Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?
15 And he said to him, Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
16 And the LORD said to him, But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.
17 And he said to him, If now I have found favor in your eyes, then show me a sign that it is you who speaks with me.
18 Please do not depart from here until I come to you and bring out my present and set it before you. And he said, I will stay till you return.
