Pastor's Update 06.30.11

This Sunday we are starting a new series in the Book of Proverbs.  Since it is July 4th weekend I thought we would explore what Proverbs says about a citizen and their country.  You may be surprised to see how much this book has to say about our relationship to our nation and our responsibility to our nation.  Hope you can join us for this entire series, as we look in Proverbs for God's view on our everyday life.

Steve and Kathleen All, along with Morgan Seay spent last Friday evening painting the roof of the children's building.  Thanks for the extra effort guys.  It needs second coat if you would like to help see Steve.

In my world. . . 

• Praise the Lord we have paid off the portable classrooms
• Deacon on Deck for July: Howard Nicely
• Pray for Nancy Seabolt, Larry Woodward, and Audrey Mercer 
• Missionary family of the week: Bill and Vicki White
• We will be starting a new series in the Victory Bible Class on Wednesday nights (we meet in the main auditorium at 7 PM each Wednesday)

Pastor's Update Faith Baptist Church

This Sunday                                                               June 19,2011                                                     ___________________________________________________ Morning (9 AM and 10:30 AM) This Sunday I will be finishing a two-part sermon series.   The God-Pointed Life In the second part of this series our focus will be on Noah.  Noah like David lived a God-Pointed Life.  His impact was crucial in the life of his children. In recognition of Father's Day we will be looking at Noah's impact on his children. His children had a tough choice to make: follow their dad into the ark or follow the majority belief of their culture.  They chose to follow their dad and the rest is history. This Sunday we have a gift for each dad present, the teen praise team is singing and Tim Bradley will have a special song for us, hope to see this Sunday._______________________________________________________ Night (6 PM) NO SERVICE BECAUSE OF FATHER'S DAY ___________________________________________________________________________________

___The Mexico Mission Team is leaving this Saturday 6 AM at

the church, come help us send them off with prayer and please hold them

up in prayer all next week while they are gone

As our church has grown, it is sometimes hard to keep up with everyone who is attending. We all sit in the same pew every Sunday morning. If we could find someone who would be responsible for each pew, a check mate. If a regular attender is missing for a couple of weeks give them a call or send them a card, remember their birthday etc. In other words keep a check on your pew. We have 37 pews so we would need 37 people in each of the two morning services to become"check-mates". I am very thankful for those of you who have signed up to be a check mate. If you would be interested in participating please call Elaine at the church office (962-6335) _________________________ Hope to see you Sunday Have a great day Bro.

Billy   2 Corinthians 10:12-18 (NKJV)  12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 13 We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us--a sphere which especially includes you. 14For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ; 15 not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men's labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere, 16 to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment. 17 But "he who glories, let him glory in the LORD." 18For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
