“Words to live by”… Whenever we hear this phrase our ears perk up, hoping that what’s spoken next will benefit us, or bless us. This week during worship in the Red Brick Church, we will hear what many consider to be Jesus’ most famous “words to live by” from Matthew 5:1-12 and Micah 6:8. As we will discover in Pastor Kevin’s message, Neighbor-words Bless Our Neighborhoods, blessings are the results of corresponding actions, not words alone. It is not what Jesus said but what he did (words into action) that brought about the reconciliation of the world. Jesus didn’t just change the world, but saved the world. Each of us can turn words of blessing into actions that bless our neighborhoods.
‘The influence of good people makes a city great.
But the wicked can destroy it with their words’ (Proverbs 11:11 ICB).
This Week’s Actionables:
- When have you felt blessed by God? Why? What did that look and feel like? What changes did that blessing bring?
- What does it mean to you to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God? (All tangible actions.)
- What influence will you exercise in your life that will comfort others? Provide mercy? Include the “outsider”? Help someone experience God’s love in their life?
This is a great week to invite a friend or neighbor to worship with you. Once we were strangers, now we are neighbors and friends!
What we say, our words, really matter. When someone says something kid or welcoming to us we feel accepted, respected, and really good inside. Of course, words that are mean, judging, or unkind have an effect, too. It brings people down. It causes pain. So we want to be people of good words, because good words lead to good deeds. We want our words and our actions to build people up! Words have power. Use your power this week for good!
Next Brickette issue will be March 2020, expanded edition
Our weekly Connections emailed newsletter (which is also available online) is read by more and more subscribers every week. It provides relevant, timely information and better integration with our website, social media, and worship bulletin. Connections keeps us and our community better connected and engaged.
To complement the weekly Connections, and to reduce redundancy and production costs, we are experimenting with distributing a more comprehensive edition of the Brickette fewer times each year. In 2020, the Brickette will be published in the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter; the first of March, June, September, and December. Special editions may also be added.
We look forward to receiving your feedback on our new publication schedule this year. Send your comments to hello@coldspringchurch.com, attention Publications.

The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 26, 2020. What a perfect time to experience God’s love In our neighborhood as we begin our Lenten journey, the journey to Holy Week, Easter, and beyond! Invite a neighbor. All are welcomed to this 45-minute, come as you are, energizing event! Complimentary lunch, follows.
Cold Spring Presbyterian Church will offer a special worship experience from noon to 12:45 pm. Ash Wednesday was designated centuries ago to recognizes our fragility and mortality, were it not for the grace of God. In humility, but also with confidence in Christ, we ask that the Lord remember once more our entire creation and breathe new life into our burned-out, dusty lives, communities, and the world. This is a service for the imposition of ashes for those who wish to receive them. Pastor Kevin Yoho’s message, Who’s Walking In Your Shoes, will offer assurance that God walks with us every day right where we are, inviting us to make new neighborhood connections. Invite a neighbor as we begin our Lenten journey toward the cross, and at last on Easter, April 12, remember that dusty Lenten Road is quenched by the Living Water that gives us new life.
(A great way to conclude your Lenten journey is to attend our Community Easter Sunrise service at Sunset Beach at 6:30 am, and our 10:30 Community Easter Celebration Worship in our historic red brick church on Sunday, April 12, 2020.)
