Apply Your Heart
(Proverbs 22:17-21)
“Go therefore, and make disciples of
all the nations baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.”
Matthew 28:19
I’ll Get Even
You’ve likely heard someone use the
expression, “I’ll get even with you if it’s
the last thing I do!” You may have even
uttered the words once or twice yourself.
Introduction: Pr over bs 22:17-18

We’re glad you are at Madison today! Last Sunday we had over thirty
visitors for our morning worship (makes me wonder if I need to be out
of town more often). On November 6 the Madison congregation will
celebrate its eleventh anniversary. Teresa and I have been privileged
to be a part of the last two and a half years — plus the many trips we
made down from Kosciusko in your early days. I’ve said it
repeatedly...I love this congregation and truly believe our best days lie
ahead. Forward ever — backward never.
is going to be special. In addition to our chili cook-off and
From the Heart Wednesday
trunk or treat there will be inflatables available for our children to
enjoy. We’ll begin with a brief devotional followed by our meal. You’ll be given a few
minutes to get your trunks (or trucks) ready for the children to come visit looking for
treats. Last year we had a crowd for this night. We’re looking for even more this year.
Tonight at 6:00 we’re in for a treat as Jeff Dotson brings our lesson. As we’ve done all
year on the fourth Sunday evening of the month a member of our Young Professionals
Class is speaking. Jeff and Emily are a vital part of our work at Madison. I hope you
will make plans to return this evening to hear what Jeff has prepared.
Don’t forget that next Sunday (10/30) is a fifth Sunday. We’ll be having a fellowship
meal following morning worship. A devotional will follow the meal that will serve as
our final assembly for the day. Make your plans to be here with your favorite dish!
