October 2019 Greetings Monument Bible Church Family! Over the last week I’ve seen a lot of people on social media declaring their absolute love of the fall season – it seems people love everything about fall - from the return of pumpkin spice lattes, wearing flannel shirts, hunting, making soup for dinner, harvest mix (candy corn, peanuts, & pretzels), to the chill in the air and the changing of the leaves. Fall officially begun back on September 23rd but we all know what marks the true arrival of fall. I know fall has arrived because last night my bride turned on the furnace for the first time, a decision I opposed at first, but was grateful for in the end because it was freezing in our house! As I’m writing we’re under our first frost warning of the season. There is a lot to love about fall (especially football and caramel apples) and I’d like to highlight two specific focuses for the month of October.  Habakkuk Series - This month we’re kicking off a new fall series through the book of Habakkuk. We live in a broken world filled with much pain. In the midst of such brokenness have you ever asked “Why, God? Habakkuk records the questions of a troubled prophet and God’s unexpected answers. Our time in Habakkuk will force us to wrestle with tough questions and honest doubt. In this series we will learn about sin, the character of God, and living a life of faith until the fulfillment of God’s promises. The Habakkuk series begins Sunday October 13th. I encourage you to read through this short (only three chapters) Old Testament book at least three times in preparation for this series.     Worship & Media Director – At our annual meeting in August the membership affirmed this year’s budget which included compensation for a part-time Worship & Media Director. I’m excited to see who God is going to call to serve in this position and how it will enable us to be more effective in our disciple-making mission. Currently, the ministry job description is being finalized and will be posted on various ministry job boards. Please pray for the entire search process over the next few months, specifically ask Him to give me wisdom and discernment through the interview process, and for a clear sense of the Lord’s leading and calling as we hire new staff.  As we transition into the fall season, I pray that you will experience a bountiful harvest in your walk with Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “My Father is glorified in this, that you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be my disciples” (John 15:8). Fruitfulness is an undeniable mark of discipleship – bearing fruit proves we are followers of Jesus – and it glorifies our Father. I can’t think of anything more beautiful during this fall season than being a church that glorifies the Father by the fruit we bear because of our “abiding” connection to Jesus. I love you and I’m praying for you!   Pastor Jeff Pumpkin Patch Party! Sunday, Oct. 13th, 12:30 p.m. Senkel Farm, 280113 CR S, Gering Everyone is invited to the Senkel farm for some harvest fun! Pick up a pumpkin, visit with friends or play games, and check out the farmyard animals, too! Lunch provided around 1:00 p.m. Bring a lawn chair and something sweet to share! Ignite Youth Happenings! With October, comes a couple exciting events! First, is the Fall Retreat (Regroup). This retreat will be held at Camp Rock where we will be joining a couple other Gospel preaching youth groups. The youth pastor who has put it all together is Dan Terrell from Alliance Evangelical Free Church. We are excited to see how God will work in the lives of the students attending! Second, is Parents vs Students on October 27th at 3:30 p.m. This is a fun time where you as parents get to see what a night of Ignite looks like - you get to be a teenagers again!  We will be playing Family Fued - Parents vs Students/leaders - So be sure to bring your game faces! Please feel free call or text Matt (308-372-9485) or Mary (308-672-5326) with any questions you might have about either of these events. We hope to see all of you at Parent night!
