The Bible admonishes the prophet whose prophecy does not come true. The consequences of a failed prophecy can be severe. For the prophet, it can lead to a loss of credibility and authority and can damage their reputation among the people.
So what’s happening to all the “end of the world” environmentalists? Today, Edwin Benson discusses some of the more famous (or infamous) climate change lies and predictions. Edwin is a retired public school history teacher and a writer for
Return to Order.

QUEEN VASHTI (ESTHER 1)
Discussed by D Fleming
with Lanier Theological Library (www.LanierTheologicalLibrary.org)
Day 5
Former CFBC Pastor David Fleming continues in the lesson series “Lesser-Known Women of the Bible” with a look at the courage and conviction of Queen Vashti from Esther 1.
Harriet Beech Stowe, 1878: “Queen Vashti: the first stand for women’s right.”

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org
QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Yesterday, Pastor David began giving his points for home (lessons we learn from Queen Vashti) discussing the importance of having the courage to stand up for our core convictions. How can the Holy Spirit give us the strength and courage to do this? Can Scripture help, as well? Is prayer a good tool?
LESSONS FROM QUEEN VASHTI: Be confident in God’s plan.
Remember: The book of Esther is not about Esther. It’s about God’s sovereignty in our lives. It’s about His perfect plan for our lives. Trust that He really does have it all under control.

A THANKFUL HEART
Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)
Day 5
Pastor Jarrett Stephens reminds us this week that a thankful heart is the birthplace of a giving lifestyle using Paul’s message to the church in 2 Corinthians.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett explained how our giving blesses God when we give with gratitude in our heart.
How can our gratitude in giving bless others? (2 Corinthians 9:12-14) Pastor Jarrett passionately talks about the many ministries CFBC has that are only possible because people obediently and gratefully give to the church.
How can our gratitude in giving bless us? Does God promise to bless us when we bless Him and bless others? (2 Corinthians 9:6,8,10-11; Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10; Luke 6:38)
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Do you have a grateful heart? If not, find a quiet place this week and reflect on the gift of Christ.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER
Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program
Omnipotent Creator of All,
It is an incredible honor and privilege to be called a child of yours. I’ll never know why you chose me. May I not hinder or delay your divine purpose.
It is truly humbling to be a part of your army. May I always walk in lock-step with your Holy Spirit.
Use me, Lord, as your hands, feet, and voice leading and encouraging other saints and calling out to those lost and wandering. May I be quick to share the Gospel of the Good News.
May I double-down, hiding your word in my heart so that I will not sin against you.
Acknowledging the receipt of your unmerited blessings, may I be quick to share with the less fortunate.
I surrender to your will and seek your continued favor.
And, Lord, if you grant me tomorrow, let’s repeat,
All for the cause of Christ,
Amen
