A Welcome from the Pastor</h3>
<IMG SRC="/art/denoms/cog_clev/cog_fr.jpg">
<BR><BR>
Willows, California is like a step back in time and values.
We are a farming community of approximately 7,000 people.
Our church is one of People. We come from every walk of life.
However, our common bond is that we have met at the foot of the
cross. If you have a need for friends, not just a friendly
church then Abundant Living Church is the place. If you have a
problem with guilt, drugs, and sin in general; you will find the
answer here. We have a lot of love, because He First Loved Us.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Pastor Orvil and Mrs. Betsy Tice

<B>Pastor's Sermon of the Month </B>
<BR><BR>
<B>The Micah Experience</B>
<BR><BR>
by Orvil L. Tice
<BR><BR>
"Immediately one, and another, and another sunk to the earth: They
dropped on every side as thunderstruck." --John Wesley, 1739
<BR><BR>
"After preaching to an earnest congregation at Coleford, I met the
Society. They contained themselves pretty well during the exhortation,
but when I began to pray the flame broke out: many cried aloud; many
sunk to the ground; many trembled exceedingly; but all seemed to be
quite athirst for God, and penetrated by the presence of his power."
--John Wesley, 1784
<BR><BR>
<B>Climate of the times:</B>
King Ahaz set up pagan idols in the temple and finally nailed the
temple door shut. Four different nations harrassed Judah.
When Hezikiah became king, the nation began a slow road
to recovery and economic strength. Hezikiah probably heeded
much of Micah advice.
<BR><BR>
<B>Main message:</B>
<BR><BR>
Prediction of the fall of both the northern kingdom of Israel
and the southern kingdom of Judah. This was God's discipline
upon the people, actually showing how much he cared for them.
` Hezekiah's good reign helped postpone Judah's punishment.
<BR><BR>
<B>Importance of message</B>
<BR><BR>
Choosing to live a life apart from God is making a commitment
to sin. Sin leads to judgement and death. God alone shows
us the way to eternal peace. His discipline often keeps us
on the right path.
<BR><BR>
<B>Text Micah 1:3-7 Judah's transgression</B>
Emphesis vs 7,8 Idols other than God. Wages gathered by
using prostitues.
<BR><BR>
<B>Entry of False Prophets:</B>
<BR><BR>
Micah 2:6-11
Micah is saying you would rather walk around in a
stuper than bow your kneee before a Living God.
Maybe you better listening to the one who
will keep you drunk.
<BR><BR>
<B>The promises of God if we repent:</B>
<BR><BR>
Micah 4:1-5
vs 1 the Lord's temple established. (you are his
temple)
vs 2 Nations will enter in, we will learn His way
and walk in His paths
vs3 swords into plowshare, He shall judge
Vs 4 Every man will have his own blessing NO FEAR
Vs 5 We will walk in the Name of the Lord for ever
and ever
<BR><BR>
<B>Isreal Shall Arise</B>
<BR><BR>
Micah 7:8-13
<BR><BR>
<B>God has given us his Power and Authority</B>
<BR><BR>
<B>Why</B>
<BR><BR>
Luke 4:18 (KJS) The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath
anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

<BR><BR>
We believe:
<BR><BR>
1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
<BR><BR>
2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely,
the Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost.
<BR><BR>
3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father,
conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That
Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That
He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the
Father as the Intercessor.
<BR><BR>
4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and
that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for
forgiveness of sins.
<BR><BR>
5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought
by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
<BR><BR>
6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in
the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
<BR><BR>
7. Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
<BR><BR>
8. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
<BR><BR>
9. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and
that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
<BR><BR>
10. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be
baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost.
<BR><BR>
11. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
<BR><BR>
12. In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
<BR><BR>
13. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect
the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the
air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
<BR><BR>
14. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and
eternal punishment for the wicked.
