Communion This Sunday Night

We all want it, yet we struggle to get it, We try and try yet we only seem to fail. What is it?  Life change, we all have things in our lives we wish we could change but we continue on in the same path, business as usual.  This Sunday morning I will be looking at “Transformation”.  The Bible is full of stories of people who experienced true transformation. I will be looking at one particular story found in Acts 8.  There was a man from Ethiopia whose live was transformed by the truth.   I hope to uncover some principles about transformation that will aid you in your quest for transformation.  My main point for the message is: Transformation Requires Information It is not enough to desire to change; we must have the truth that will enable us to change.  I believe the Ethiopian truly wanted to change and God sent the information through Phillip.  Once the Ethiopian received the truth and yielded to God in obedience to that truth he experienced transformation and so can you.  Join us this Sunday as we seek to give you the information you need for transformation. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, Acts 8:27 (NKJV) Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.Acts 8:39 (NKJV)  This Sunday night Jeff will lead us to the Lord's Table.  He will be speaking onWhat is Communion?  His text is from 1 Corinthians 11:23-30. "This do in remembrance of Me"-Jesus

Our Teens and Levi Bartley helping with the snack pack program last Sunday We will celebrate 42 years together as husband and wife on May 5 we thank God for helping us find each other  My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 38 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 38 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.
