3.9.14         battle for your heart           Bro. Jeff
3.16.14       gods of pleasure                 Bro. Billy
3.23.14       gods of success                   Bro. Billy
4.6.14         gods of love                        Bro. Jeff
4.13.14        god of me                           Bro. Billy

This Sunday Jeff continues our "gods at war" sermon series.  
This week Jeff will be sharing with us the "battle for your heart", we saw last week how these gods can slip into our lives and begin to compete with the true and living God.  Where does this battle take place?  In your heart, not the fleshly organ that pumps blood, but the center of who you are, the place where your emotional, life and spiritual decisions are made.  The war is won or lost in the heart of the believer.  Come this Sunday and learn how you can guard your heart.

23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) 
This Sunday night (6 PM) I will be speaking on "Christ is Supreme".  This is actually a survey message on the entire Bible with the goal of seeing that Christ is the centerpiece of the entire Bible.

18 Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. Colossians 1:18 (NLT)

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.

We had a wonderful Christmas.  Elaine and I would like to thank all of you for your kind expressions of love during the holiday season.  Our grand-kids from Lynchburg came up right before Christmas and got surprised by Santa going through our neighborhood.  Then we traveled to Ga. to see the rest of our grand-kids.  Elaine and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you will have a blessed New Year. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

First Connection of 2014

Follow us on Facebook


FAITH CONNECTION
 
"JOIN US FOR GROW U

ON SUNDAY NIGHTS"
This Sunday Jeff will challenge us to turn the page as we face a brand new year.  Maybe 2013 was a difficult year for you, don't allow yourself to look back with regret.   You have a golden opportunity 2014 is a clean slate.  Ask God to help you make this year a much better year with His help.

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.                                                                                   Philippians 3:12-14 (NKJV) 
 
This Sunday night we will have our first communion of 2014, we learn from Abraham how to get back on track when we get off. Hope you can join us at 6 PM in the worship center.
