Thank you Mike for sharing today's lesson.

LESSON: You Can Stay Calm - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

Biblical Truth: Believers have reason for calmness in the face of diverse or erroneous teachings.

Life Impact: To stay calm when you encounter unbiblical or diverse teachings about

Jesus' return. Knowledge of the truth and faithfulness to the Lord will strengthen you, enabling you to stand firm.

Happy 39th Wedding Anniversary!

PRAYER REQUESTS

Billy - Owasso Baptist Homes for Children cottage member, Billy, is back. His placement did not work out, though no fault of Billy's. He needs our prayers.

Jim Batson - his friend, Al Jones, who recently went through a very difficult cancer surgery, was told that they didn't get it all and is facing some more equally difficult surgery.

Mike Callahan - quick recovery from a broken arm which resulted from a fall on the ice recently.

Glenda Irenton - pray for the New Vision Academy, a TPS alternative school where Glenda is a counselor. They are searching for a location after having to move several times. Also, pray for Kat Tillotson, daughter of a good friend who has just left for a tour in Iraq with the Marines.

David Wycoff - keep up the prayers for continued recovery.

Mark Owen - mother, Edith Owen, is in the hospital with several serious health issues. She will need to go to intermediate care after release. Pray for quick and effective treatment, comfort and peace.
