Love From Your Pastor

“Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are My witnesses! Is there a God besides Me? There is no Rock; I know not any.” (Isaiah 44:8 ESV)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Free MOVIE, popcorn, and childcare at FBC TONIGHT!  Join us at 6:30pm for a showing of “Like Arrows,” a movie produced by the same people who brought us “Fireproof,” “Courageous,” and “Facing the Giants”. It’s a great movie to motivate us as parents and grandparents to consider how quickly life flies by, and how important it is to have real spiritual influence in our children’s lives.  Watch the trailer for the movie HERE.

This Sunday we are back in our study of the great book of Isaiah!  The text is Isaiah 44, and the title of the message is, “The Only Creator & Redeemer.”  I hope you will be able to join us! Please read the passage ahead of time and ask the Lord to speak to us powerfully through it.

I want to continue to encourage all of us to be regularly in God’s Word, so once again I am recommending a Bible reading plan that we can do together.  I found this article recently, and decided to try using this plan for 2019. It’s the first time I’ve used this particular plan, but I think we’re going to enjoy it!  You can read the article, and download the PDF of the reading plan, HERE.  Or you can pick up a hard copy in the church foyer.  Happy Bible reading!

There was a very generous offering received this past Sunday.  Thank you to everyone for your end-of-the-year gifts to FBC! We finished 2018 very strong financially, which will certainly help us prepare for a vibrant and effective year of ministry in 2019! Praise the Lord!

Love From Your Pastor,

Michael
