Relationships, Grow U, Mission Meals

Faith Connection                                         Connecting people with God, Others and Service



                
In our current series “Relationships” we are examining the teaching of Jesus on this important subject.  Last week we looked at the importance of relationships.  Jesus summed up life into two basic relationships, our relationship with God and our relationship with each other.  If you did an inventory of your life you would discover that most of your problems stem from a breakdown in one of these two relationships.
36  "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37  And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' 38  "This is the great and foremost commandment. 39  "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' 40  "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."                      Matthew 22:36-40 (NASB)

(If you missed the first sermon you can view it at Truthcasting )

This week we are looking at “The New Commandment” Jesus is expanding His teaching on relationships and He takes a closer look at how we relate to each other in the body of Christ.
34  "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35  "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."  John 13:34-35
 

We will be looking at the following questions:
Why is this a new commandment?
Who was Jesus speaking to and what was the setting?
How can I possibly love other Christians the way Jesus did, is it even possible?
Does any of this flow over into my other relationships?
Join us this Sunday morning at 9 AM or 10:30 AM in our Worship Center.

"The essence of sin is we human beings substituting ourselves for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting Himself for us. We...put ourselves where only God deserves to be; God...puts Himself where we deserve to be." John Stott

Summer Camp is coming see Jeff for details!
My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 41 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 41 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.
