November is National Adoption Month. There are currently 143 million orphans worldwide. How do we wrap our minds around that number? What do we do? Start by loving ONE. One child. One cause. Empowered by one all-sufficient Savior. For adoption information, contact our partner organization, Evangelical Child & Family Agency (www.ecfawisc.org) or Bethany Christian Services (www.bethany.org). Even if you aren't in a position to adopt, there are practical ways to offer support. • Pray for the children waiting for their forever family. • Pray for the families waiting for their adoption to be finalized. • Consider sponsoring an orphan through Global Fingerprints (sponsorship.globalfingerprints.org/). • Volunteer or offer financial support to local organizations that help supply basic needs to at-risk children. Contact our partner organization, Anchor of Hope Health Center (anchorofhopewi.org), or visit our website to find our current BabyCare ministry needs. Congratulations to Luke and Kinsey N. on the birth of their son. Although our November 25 Thanksgiving Eve Service has been cancelled, we cannot cancel thankfulness. In the midst of pandemics, distancing, and strong opinions, we are thankful. Because of these issues, we are more aware of our reliance upon God and his grace. Some of our neighbors have responded to the call of Jesus, and some have become better and more disciplined people of prayer. Consider how God used 2020 to reveal himself to you. Make a brief video of thanksgiving to God for who he is or what he has done. Post your video by Sunday, November 22! If you don’t know how, call the church office and talk with Pastor Aaron or Pastor Jon. Upload the video to any of your social media pages. Hashtag your video with #ThankfulAtEfree. As the news around us continues to swirl, it's important we tether our souls to our steady, faithful, immovable Rock. Women's Ministries invites all ladies to gather with us at "Pause & Ponder" on Friday evening, December 4 at 7pm. It's a collective opportunity to quiet our hearts before the Lord; to worship, soak in scripture, and pray. This physically distanced event will meet in the multi-purpose room. While there is no charge, registration is necessary. Visit the church website (http://e-freefamily.com/ministries/womens-ministries/) or contact the church office. We are getting ready to print the 2021 eFree Church directory. Letters and emails have been sent to fellowshippers. If you have not received any correspondence from us, but would like to be included in the directory, please contact Kay in the church office by November 22, 920.452.6520.

Exalted Over All From Heaven's throne You came to us and set Your heart upon the cross, We'll never know the sacrifice You’ve made. For all our sin and all our shame You took the nails, You took our place, No one else could do what You have done. One name is higher, One name is stronger than any grave, than any throne. Christ exalted over all From the grave where death would die You rose again and brought us life, You're reigning now the Savior of the world, You're reigning now the Savior of the world. The only Savior, Jesus Messiah, to You alone our praise belongs. Christ exalted over all. We'll sing Your praise, we’ll sing Your praise, we’ll sing Your praise forever, We lift Your name, we lift Your name, Jesus over all.

Cornerstone My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly trust in Jesus' name. Christ alone, Cornerstone. Weak made strong in the Savior's love. Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all. When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. My anchor holds within the veil. When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh may I then in Him be found. Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.

You are here healing every heart, I worship You, I worship You. You are here turning lives around, I worship You, I worship You. You are here mending ev'ry heart, I worship You, I worship You.

Announcements and Offering Prayer

Pastor Jon MacDonald

Is He Worthy Do you feel the world is broken? We do. Do you feel the shadows deepen? We do. But do you know that all the dark won't stop the light from getting through? We do. Do you wish that you could see it all made new? We do. Is all creation groaning? It is. Is a new creation coming? It is. Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? It is. Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? It is. Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole? Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll? The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave. He is David's Root, And the Lamb who died to ransom the slave. Is He worthy? Is He worthy Of all blessing and honor and glory? Is He worthy of this? He is. Does the Father truly love us? He does. Does the Spirit move among us? He does. And does Jesus our Messiah hold forever those He loves? He does. Does our God intend to dwell again with us? He does. Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole? Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll? The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave, He is David's Root, And the Lamb who died to ransom the slave From ev'ry people and tribe every nation and tongue, He has made us a kingdom and priests to God to reign with the Son. Is He worthy? Is He worthy of all blessing and honor and glory? Is He worthy? Is He worthy? Is He worthy of this? He is. Is He worthy? Is He worthy? He is, He is.

Message And This Became Known, Acts 19:11-20

Dr. Gary Hylander Acts Series AND THIS BECAME KNOWN Acts 19:11-20

Having arrived in the strategic city of Ephesus, the Apostle Paul taught for three months in the synagogue, reasoning and persuading about matters pertaining to the kingdom of God. When opponents to Paul’s teaching became hostile, Paul left the synagogue, and proceeded to teach God’s word in the secular hall of Tyrannus, which impacted “all the residents of Asia” (Acts 19:10). This is a reminder that when we are focused upon God’s word and flexible with our methods, lives are impacted for God’s glory. When the evil realm cannot thwart God’s kingdom advancement through overt pressures, it will use covert operatives. In the passage we are examining today, Acts 19:11-20, the writer Luke provides us with a story to help us develop the discernment necessary to distinguish between true and false spiritualities. Let’s explore this passage together and look for practical ways these verses equip us for the fluid times in which we live.
