Linda King
July 9, 1949 —September 23, 2020

Linda Green King, age 71, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 23, 2020. Linda is preceded in death by her parents, Bailey Kincey Green and Anna Norris Green, as well as her brother, Bailey Kincey Green, Jr. She is survived by Andy King, her husband of 48 years, her daughter Anna King Chatterton (Marcus), her son Reed King (Emily), her brother Norris Green (Cathy), her sister Leila Harris (Bill), and six grandchildren; Ian, Owen, Audrey, Ethan, Clara and Maggie, and several nieces and nephews. Linda was born in Selma, AL, and graduated from Parrish High School. She received her undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of Montevallo. Linda had a passion for education. She taught third grade for over 20 years at East End Elementary in Selma, Warrior Elementary, and Bluff Park Elementary. She also taught preschool at Shades Crest Baptist Church for 16 years, and later returned to Bluff Park Elementary as a beloved substitute teacher. Her warm smile, infectious joy, and affinity for hugs has left a lasting impact on the hundreds of children she had the privilege of teaching. Linda was a member of Bluff Park UMC, and received special joy from singing in the church choir for many years. She was an avid volunteer and participant in Bible Study Fellowship for over a decade. Linda loved spending time with her family and friends, playing bridge, relaxing at Lake Martin, horseback riding, and playing golf.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to either Bluff Park Elementary School (569 Park Ave, Hoover, AL 35226) or Bluff Park UMC (733 Valley St, Hoover, AL 35226).

Table Talk with Mike and Angela Podcast

“Dust- The Bible in 10 Words‘ – S01E03 of Table Talk with Mike and Angela

Welcome to the Table Talk with Mike and Angela podcast. We’re pastors Mike Holly and Angela Martin and we want to help you understand more about the Bible, faith, and living a faithful life.  In each episode of Table Talk, we sit down for a conversation about a wide range of topics. We often invite other staff members at Bluff Park UMC to join in.  Listen in and experience God in new ways and take those important next steps that help us all weave together a life of faith and service!

Episode 3: Dust

During our first season, Mike and Angela team up to look at ten words from the first three chapters of Genesis and how they track through the entire Bible.  Guided by the book “The Bible in 10 Words” by author Deron Spoo, we look at the power of these ten different words and how they are woven throughout Scripture to help us understand what God has done and will continue to do in order to bring our world back into a right relationship with Him.   In this episode, Mike and Angela introduce us to the word “Dust” and how it shows up throughout Scripture.  They help unpack what it means for us to be made from dust while at the same time destined for more than dust.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
ning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness

“My Hope Is Built”

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name

Refrain
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil [Refrain]

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne [Refrain]

Sermon – March 8, 2020

“Character School: Hope“, by Rev. Angela Martin

The Word:

Genesis 12:1-8

Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. Abram took his wife Sarai and his brother’s son Lot, and all the possessions that they had gathered, and the persons whom they had acquired in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan, Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. From there he moved on to the hill country on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and invoked the name of the Lord.

“Faith: Our Daily Bread“, by Rev. Mike Holly

The Word:

Matthew 4:1-11

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written,

‘One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,

‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and ‘On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written,

‘Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only him.’”

Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.

“We Saw, We Heard, We Followed“, by Dr. Rick Owen

The Word:

Matthew 17:1-9

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

“Make The Time”, by Rev. Mike Holly

The Word:

Matthew 5:38-48

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

“Playing the Long Game“, by Rev. Angela Martin

The Word:

Matthew 5:13-20

“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.

“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
