This week Bob Uhrich, our Director of Children, spoke out of 2 Corinthians 4. He taught us that just as God used broken people like Paul to preach the Gospel of Jesus, find power in the message of God and point people to the hope and encouragement found in Jesus coming again... God can and does choose to use us.

Melatonin Transcription:
Melatonin controls the circadian rhythm as well as the deep stages of sleep.
Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland and declines significantly when a person reaches age 40.
Melatonin levels peak at night and decrease throughout the day with the help of natural sunlight.
The essential amino acid (tryptophan) from which melatonin is derived helps to regulate your circadian sleep rhythm.
Melatonin is considered a super antioxidant due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Melatonin also works with cholecystokinin in the digestive tract to decrease the likelihood and severity of many symptoms associated with gastric ulcers and colitis.
Your melatonin levels will naturally decrease with age. This is why some older people will sleep less even though they still need the same amount of sleep.
Cortisol (the stress hormone) is partially regulated by melatonin.
Culprits of Low Melatonin Levels:
Alcohol
Vitamin B12
Caffeine
NSAID anti-inflammatory medication
Beta-blocker medication
Glucocorticoid medication
Cigarettes
Antidepressants
Frequent stress
Melatonin is a natural substance that should be taken at night. It is not addictive or habit forming.
Sleep Facts:
New parents lose 400-750 hours of sleep during their newborn’s first year.
The number of car accidents decreases in Canada during daylight savings.
Constant access to the internet is one of the biggest contributors to lack of sleep.
Ducks are able to keep one half of their brain awake, while the other half is asleep, in order to survive predator attacks.

We see the power of grace most acutely in the transformation of our human nature. Only grace can change who we really are. This week we'll look at the transformation of the man named Saul of Tarsus. He would become known as the apostle Paul. How did Saul initially experience God's grace? How was it seen in a Christian "nobody" named Ananias?
Who was Uzziah? Why did Isaiah “see the Lord when Uzziah died”? Who is your Uzziah? Who are the seraphim? What is their function? What did Isaiah see and hear them doing? What effect did their worship have on the Temple and on the Prophet Isaiah? How will you respond upon observing holy angels worshipping “the Lord high and lifted up”? Why does Isaiah confess, “I am a man of unclean lips and dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips”? Would you confess the same? Why? Did Isaiah actually see the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach? (Jn. 12:37-41) Have you actually seen Him? How? (Jn. 1:9,14) How has “beholding Him” changed you? (2 Cor. 3:18; 1 Jn. 3:2)

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

‘Eyes that see from
God’s perspective’
Isaiah 6:1-10
3. God has perfect eyesight
My frame was not hidden from you when I
was made in the secret place, when I was
woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the
days ordained for me were written in your
book before one of them came to be
Psalm 139:15-16
4. God has perfect eyesight
He who watches over Israel will
neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you – the Lord is
your shade at your right hand
Psalm 121:4-5
5. Looking up – Isaiah’s vision of a holy God
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord,
high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the
train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were
seraphim … And they were calling to one another:
‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.’
Isaiah 6:1-3
6. Looking up – Isaiah’s vision of a holy God
‘Woe to me!’ I cried. ‘I am ruined!
For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live
among a people of unclean lips,
and my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord Almighty.’
Isaiah 6:5
7. Looking up – Isaiah’s vision of a holy God
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
‘Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?’
And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’
Isaiah 6:8
8. Looking up – Isaiah’s vision of a holy God
He (God) said, ‘Go and tell this people: “Be ever
hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing,
but never perceiving.” Make the heart of this
people calloused; make their ears dull and close
their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their
eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their
hearts, and turn and be healed.’
Isaiah 6:9-10
9. The secret of the kingdom of God has been
given to you. But to those on the outside
everything is said in parables so that, they
may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and
ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!
Mark 6:11-12
10. Looking up – the rebellious Israelites
Then the LORD sent
venomous snakes among
them; they bit the people
and many Israelites died

Then when anyone was
bitten by a snake and
looked at the bronze
snake, s/he lived
Num 6:9b
12. Looking up – to the cross
Just as Moses lifted up
the snake in the desert,
so the Son of Man must
be lifted up, that
everyone who believes in
him may have eternal life
John 3:14
13. Looking through spiritual eyes
‘The eye is the lamp of the body.
If your eyes are healthy, your
whole body will be full of light.
But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body
will be full of darkness. If then the light within you
is darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matt 6:22-23
14. Looking around – serving others
… consider others better than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only to your own
interests, but also to the interests of others

less of yourself;
it is thinking of yourself less”

Where there is no vision
the people perish …
Prov 29:18 KJV
Where there is no
prophetic vision the
people cast off
restraint (become
discouraged)
Prov 29:18 ESV

everything that gets in the way,
and of the sin which holds on to
us so tightly, … Let us keep our
eyes fixed on Jesus …
So do not let yourselves become
discouraged and give up
Heb 12:1-5 GNB
