Back to Church Sunday is coming

Connecting people with God, Others and Service

As we journey through this life, we encounter all kinds of people.  Some of these people barely touch our lives and we pass like two ships in the night.  But some people, the people I call impact people can change us forever.  This impact can be good and rewarding or it can be extremely damaging.  King David was in a terrible situation, he was fleeing from his own son who had turned against him; leading a rebellion to overthrow him.  During this series we will take a look at those who impact us for good and bad.   The second sermon in this series looks at "The Pointers", these are the people who point us to God.  Sometimes in our darkest hours we need someone to  remind us that God is still in control even when the circumstances seem to be out of control.  Hope you can join us this Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM. This Sunday night  6 PM Jeff will be sharing with us the importance of prayer.    Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart, Luke 18:1 (NASB)

We spent eight months with Irene (pictured above), talking with her, teaching her, sharing Christ with her, encouraging her, praying for her, and seeking to show her the love of God. Earlier this month I was surprised to see Irene serving as volunteer staff at Word of Life's English Camp down on Jeju Island. During that time she told me that after she graduated, she felt empty and lonely. It was at that point that she knew that she needed to have a relationship with God. During SYME she had learned the gospel, but had never accepted it. She told me with tears in her eyes that earlier this summer she became a Christian. Praise the Lord! Please pray for her as she grows in her faith. Now she is burdened for her friends to come to Christ as well.

Christ is the centre of Christianity; everything else is peripheral”-John Stott Please pray for our teens as they stand for the Lord in their schools. 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 40 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.

Hippert at the Brian Center Christ Centered Couples class meets each Wednesday night at 7 PM in room 6.  They will be starting a new Bible study on September 7th.  For more information see pastor Jeff.  Click on above image to go to sermon site for our church. “Many people imagine God sitting comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested, a God who doesn’t really care for our needs and has to be badgered into taking action on our behalf. Such a view is completely wrong. The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to men and women to turn to him, while they are still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds them.” -John Stott Please pray for our teens as they stand for the Lord in their schools.

Guest Missionary this Sunday night and Sis. Hippert turns 96

Connecting people with God, Others and Service

We finish our sermon series Sunday based on a new proposed Article of Faith that will be presented to the church at a later date.  As you are well aware we are in a rapidly changing society and especially in the areas of marriage and sexuality.  Below you will find the section of the proposed article that we will be covering this Sunday.  If you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact one of our pastors or deacons.  We have seen so far in our series God's original intent at creation of man and woman joined together in marriage and the distortions of this relationship that occur in a sinful world.  This week we will be looking at the Christians response to the sexual sin of others.  We all have seen the ugliness of some Christian's response to this particular sin, we must always respond in love.  We are commanded by our Lord to love our neighbors whether we agree with their lifestyle or not.  We are definitely to oppose sin, but always in a Christlike manner.  Hope you can join us this Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM OF MARRIAGE AND SEXUALITY We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with scripture nor the doctrines of the church. Genesis 1:27-28, 2:18-25; Exodus 20:14: Matthew 19:3-12; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20; Ephesians 5:22-33; Hebrews 13:4 This Sunday night  6 PM join us for a guest missionary from Egypt.

All men are our neighbors, and we are to love them as ourselves. We are to do this on the basis of creation, even if they are not redeemed, for all men have value because they are made in the image of God. Therefore they are to be loved even at great cost. --Francis Schaeffer 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 40 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.
