Fall into Fun date set

Fall Into Fun Sunday October 26 6 - 8 PM

"The most deceptively hazardous aspect of a minefield is that it can look so very peaceful. One may not even be aware of the danger until he is actually in the middle of one. And then the terrifying realization of not knowing what to do about it floods the mind!" The prophet Jeremiah was speaking to people who were standing in a spiritual minefield.  There were dangers all around them that they could not see with the physical eye, but could lead to the destruction of their nation.  Join me this Sunday morning in the Worship Center (9 AM or 10:30 AM) as I look at Jeremiah's message to these people standing in a spiritual minefield, in the sermon entitled "A Spiritual Minefield". 3 This is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: "Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns. 4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, circumcise your hearts, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done-- burn with no one to quench it.                                                                                                      Jeremiah 4:3-4 (NIV)

Jeff will be leading us in communion Sunday night and bring us a message from 1 Peter 1:18-23 entitled "The Power of the Blood" 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the bloodof Christ. 20 For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you 21 who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 22 Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, 23 for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter 1:18-23 (NASB)  IN MY WORLD . . .          Communion this Sunday night 6 PM Worship Center Deacon on Deck for the month of September: Howard Nicely (969-7377) The deacon on deck is here for you, if you need prayer or advice please call Howard this month.  He would love to be used by God in your life.

Technical Team: computer operator on Sunday nights   My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 39 years.  I graduated from Lynchburg Baptist College in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1975.  It is now known as Liberty University.  Upon graduation our little family of three moved to Covington Virginia to begin a new church.  Elaine, my wife; Robbie, my son and myself  started our grand adventure.  I was soon blessed with a daughter, Robin.  People often ask me did I know when I started I would be here 39 years later, I can honestly say no and God hasn't given me a reason leave.  I have enjoyed my ministry in the mountains of Virginia, if it is His will I hope to finish my race here, but that's up to Him.
