“Peace! Be still!” (Mark 4:39)
Springtime in Arkansas is a tumultuous time. We’ve been under the threat of sever weather for many days already, and it’s just the first week of March.
Flooding, tornadoes, straight-line winds, T-storms, “watches” and “warnings”… Yep; it’s springtime alright.
(My house is 100 yards from the warning siren. When it goes off at 1:00 in the morning I’m about the first to know about it!)
But the same Almighty Lord of all creation that calmed the sea of Galilee two thousand years ago is the same One who helps us weather all the storms of life that come our way.
Now we don’t understand the rime or reason of why such seemingly random things happen around us, bet we do understand the we can trust the Lord our God in every circumstance.
We are guaranteed to have “storms” in life, but we are also guaranteed that our Lord Jesus is always there in every situation speaking to our hearts, “Peace, be still”.
“Thank You, Lord, for being the King of our Peace. Amen!”

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK: "Nine Levels of Thought that Make You YOU", Lesson 1
God created you such that your brain has been going through a nine-step thought process since before you were born. It begins with information and culminates in making you the person you are. Understanding how your mind works allows you to take more control of the processes, direct them in a positive, God-honoring way, and become the best version of yourself that you can, for your good and His glory. Lesson One: The Proverbs Triplet of Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom. God Bless ~Johnny

HBC Mission Statement: To love and serve the Lord, our fellowman, and one another, and to be a Church for Faith and Family.
~~~
Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. (Psalm 103:1-5)
God is good, all the time.
It’s just as easy to dwell on the good things in life that come from the hand of the Almighty as it is to stew and worry about all the negativity that surrounds us.
Remember: In light of eternity, only the Christian has grounds for optimism and hope.
So count those many blessings, fill your heart, mind, and language with thanksgiving, joy, and hope, and bless His Holy Name.
PS: Evelyn and I joke that this is our prayer when we forget to say the blessing before we eat, “Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me…)
God bless,
~Bro. Johnny

Remember our Mission Statement: To love and serve the Lord, our fellowman, and one another, and to be a Church for Faith and Family.
Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." “Mark 12:29-31)

Happy New Year!
Can you believe it’s 2023 already? Where did the last year go!
We thank the Lord for His grace during 2022 and for His continued grace and hope for a new year. We are looking forward to having a good year in 2023, and trust the Lord will bless and provide as we do His work and will.
Jesus said that while He was gone, we are to “do business until I come”. (Luke 19:13)
We as His Church and His people intend to do just that.
We have set a very ambitious course for this year (see the list below), and by the grace of God we hope to see many blessings, accomplishments, and victories. After all, can you think of a better was to spend the year than in service to our Lord and King?
God bless us all!
Looking forward,
Bro. Johnny

If you are 60 or over, YOU’RE IN!
This is going to be a lot of fun, and can become something very enriching to many of our folk.
Here are a few of the ideas we got at last Sunday’s short meeting.
- Trips to see sights, Gospel Jubilee, Garvin Gardens, Parks, etc.
- Associational meetings
- Sr. Adult Revival attendance
- Bean Supper (was once a missions awareness event)
- Tabletop Games
- Special speakers on subjects of interest to seniors such as complicated insurance, wills, Area Agency on Aging, and others

So next Sunday (15th), Bring your lunch, plenty of ideas, and a positive attitude and lets get going!
